Hi,
you set a few ways to highway=living_street. Living streets are a concept, that with a couple of rare exceptions, do not exist in the US. I've gone ahead and changed these, but I wanted you to be aware for future.
22023-05-30 14:07nvk Hey Paul, can you elaborate a bit more, please? This change set is 6 years old so it could be things have changed in Seattle since my tagging for sure. But especially during the pandemic these types of streets in the USA have become much more common. The OSM wiki even mentions Seattle by name. Is th...

It also mentions Tagging these as highway=living_street has been controversial because pedestrian-safe speed limits are not part of the initiative. The roads I looked at had speed limits of 20 mph or above, far above walking speed.

Hi there. What was the Bike Maryland source for these LCN adds around College Park? I am a Bike Maryland member and do not recognize these edits. The link given does not resolve to any particular source.
22021-10-14 16:47nvk Hi ElliotPlack.

My guess (this is a changeset from 4 years ago!) is it's from https://www.bikemaryland.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/041206.pdf which is the Mid-Maryland bike map (I also have an old print copy of this map around), but there are a few others listed on https://www.bikemaryla...

Awesome, thanks for you public service to the bicycling community! I should have said (in my original comment) that I didn't recognize these routes, not edits, sorry! I see them in the source you provided though and respect local knowledge over anything I could dig up anyhow.

My angle is try...
42021-10-15 17:46nvk I don't have strong opinions about which ways the relations wind their way thru, again my local knowledge is getting a little out of date.

For College Drive there is a wide side path east of US Route 1 leading to the Metro station, is that what you mean? That part of the road is pretty dan...

hmmm, i removed these objects because we no have "claimed_by" and "disputed_by" tags. and i think this changeset is sabotage.
22020-02-29 18:38nvk Hi! These are deliberate, semi common tags I added. Please see my diary about them:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/nvk/diary/390496

It’d be great if you could restore them! Thanks :)

Hello,
Andy from the DWG here. To be clear:
a) generally speaking, mappers can use any tags they like.
b) it's actually quite useful to have a way of representing different border claims in an area (there are many places where two countries claim the same territory, and in some case they pa...

Why are you adding in disputed by a lot of countries? Only two countries or similar entities dispute this. There is non reason to add all countries that have an opinion about this. Otherwise you can add all the countries in the world.

The territories are disputed. But no this part of boundary. No part dispute this boundary. Only the owner (relation) is dusputed.

I think it is not a ground truth point of view. Maybe we could just point to the China version map to satisfied this need.

22019-04-29 05:45nvk Hi, thanks for your comment.

I don't think adding this extra tag does any harm the default map view, and it allows for more internationalization by adding it. I agree with the defacto tags being the way they already are, but I I am looking to allow multiple points of view for disputed places...

As a general rule one should not abbreviate names. If they need rendering, that should be done by the map renderer. 52nd Ave Bike Blvd should be 52nd Avenue Bike Boulevard.

If a shorter, but ambiguous name is used loca...

There was already an existing relation for the Bay Trail. ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/325779/ ) I've merged these members into that one.
22017-04-24 06:22nvk Thank you! I saw the other one but could never get the two to associate in the same iD editor view. Did you use JOSM?

Hi nkv!, can you please take a look to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/67140043/, this wood area currently is there? thanks
22017-04-06 20:55nvk Good point. I think that's from an old and bad DCGIS import. I've deleted it here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/47520982.

Greenways should not be tagged as highway=living_street.

Rather than changing the highway tag on the Way objects for the roads, look at tags like sidewalk=* and cycleway=lane where sidewalks and bike lanes exist as part of the road.

The Greenway designation should probably best be captured wit...
22017-03-23 16:51nvk Thanks for the background! Is this a case where tags (should) mean something slightly different from country to country (like how implied max speed is interpreted)? The highway=living_street tag was suggested to me by someone else commenting on another changeset, lol. The reason I like it is it shou...

It makes sense that the router would tend to prefer other routes that don't go through highway=living_street as you would be required to drive really slowly on that section. However, in reality there is no such restriction (apart from the fact that you are more likely to have to slow down to a...
42017-03-24 00:46nvk Thanks! Alternatively from bicycle:designated=greenway it could be bicycle=greenway (and bicycle=greenwave). But then we get into tagging for (older) renderer debates.

This GIST lists the OpenStreetMap tags the Mapzen bike map is using to display bike route colors: https://gist.github.com/nvkelso...

This way has the tags bicycle=yes and bicycle_2=no. Which is correct?
