This https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2406459615 points to this https://www.ylsyk.edu.hk/ , which seems embedded into the church. |
| 3 | 2026-03-29 17:30 | commented | vectorial8192 | By survey, seems like a multi-purpose premise. On holidays this is a church, and on other days this is a kindergarten. The position of the kindergarten node indicates the entrance to the kindergarten. |

Basically, in rural places like here, there could be places that double as both a restaurant and a kiosk. The "outside" is the kiosk, and then the "inside" is a restaurant. I would guess the guy decided it was more convenient to describe both of them as a single feature. |

| 5 | 2026-02-01 13:53 | commented | vectorial8192 | Seeing it isn't open to the public (King Nga Court is probably walled with access=private ), I am leaning towards closing this note without survey. |
| 6 | 2026-02-01 14:09 | commented | kingkingHK | I doubt it is walled with `access=private`; "gated communities" are rare in Hong Kong other than a few posh low-density estates. |
| 7 | 2026-02-01 14:32 | commented | vectorial8192 | Newer HOS estates (e.g. this) are not posh but are walled off and access=private . Try it yourself. |
| 8 | 2026-02-02 03:59 | commented | kingkingHK | I didn't know about that. But this is built in the 1990s, no? I wouldn't call this a "newer estate". Anyway, survey recommended, especially as this place is not "extra rural". |
| 9 | 2026-02-05 08:18 | commented | vectorial8192 | This is already new in the grander scheme of things. Look at older designs e.g. Wang Fuk Court next door, that one is old because it has a semi-open access control, which allows surveying and therefore has public interest. |
| 10 | 2026-02-05 14:13 | commented | kingkingHK | Anyhow, this location is easy to get to. I see no reason to not survey this to make sure. |

| 12 | 2026-03-20 11:52 | commented | vectorial8192 | By survey, as it turns out, King Nga Court is actually semi-open. Still, newer HOS Estates are indeed walled.
There is indeed an unnamed park at this location, but of course it would have access=private here.
Given the remote location of the park, are there any public interest in mapping this? |
| 13 | 2026-03-20 12:32 | commented | kingkingHK | I don't understand. What is "semi-open"? If it is open, how is it `access=private`? And how is an urban estate "remote"? Also, osm doesn't have a notability requirement, why can't one map it if one has the data? |
| 14 | 2026-03-20 14:14 | commented | vectorial8192 | I invented this term "semi-open" to describe a place that is physically open (as in you can find a way in without crossing barriers etc), but have obvious indications that the place is `access=private`.

| 16 | 2026-03-21 06:43 | commented | vectorial8192 | `access=permissive` requires "is open for general public use" (OSM Wiki) but this Estate is obviously not for general public use, and is "residents only", so it doesn't satisfy "for general public use". (I call this "semi-open".)

| 18 | 2026-03-21 11:39 | commented | kingkingHK | Without physical gates or guards, it is impossible to tell a visitor from a resident, so a visitor can't be kicked out unless a guard confronts him and finds out that he is a visitor, which satisfies `=permissive`.
Don't tag (or not tag) for the renderer; make a PR if you want renderers to show `access=private` differently. |

https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1078782121 this describes the land as a "construction site for a future data centre". It seems extremely unlikely there would be a power substation right at this place, or perhaps this intends to describe a new substation to be built together with the data centre. |

I see this https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/799005738 is outside of tunnel area. Then, this section of Route 2 should be toll-free.
In the off chance traffic is temporarily redirected onto this section of Route 2 (e.g. traffic accident) they pay no tolls here. |

If tagging `toll=` on roads that can't be accessed without paying a toll is "consequential mapping" (I don't know what you mean by this tbh), then what is `toll=` for?

| 3 | 2024-11-02 13:05 | commented | vectorial8192 | I guess this means the towers are now physically gone? Will need to update OSM data to reflect this (eg there is still a tower area https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/448005785 ) |
| 4 | 2024-11-02 15:16 | commented | Ian Ho | When I add the notes, the removal project was still work in progress. Some of the pylons were not removed yet. I did visit 1 or 2 removed pylon sites. Only the base concrete structure (no more than 1 meter high) remains after removal. So I think when the project is complete, we can update OSM. |

Cosmology is a subset of astronomy.
Astronomy should automatically imply "spaceflight"; can't have serious (space) observations without rocket-delivered satellites and telescopes. |

| 2 | 2025-01-08 08:08 | commented | Kovoschiz | This is debated, but a trackbed or strip of land qualifies as `=abandoned` for what's acceptable. Besides the bridge and Yau King Ln, there's actually embankments left, and some cut slopes seem unmodified. |
| 3 | 2025-01-08 12:09 | commented | vectorial8192 | The trackbeds is most probably all gone, but not sure about the embankments; my working theory is that the CUHK Campus Circuit North ate up some of the old embankments, and so in practice the abandoned railway is not observable. |

there is almost no sections of abandoned track still left untouched in hong kong |
| 5 | 2025-10-06 02:16 | commented | HenryEK | frankly even though you say the embankment is enough to keep this abandoned railway thing, it would be like adding "abandoned building" role to something just because the foundation ruins are present, instead of marking them as ruins |

| 12 | 2025-10-09 04:30 | commented | Kovoschiz | Roads, paths, and embankments qualify. So both can be examined. |

However, afaik, there are no legal restrictions about boat access. |
| 2 | 2025-12-30 03:09 | commented | kingkingHK | Well, if boats are not allowed, then https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/493816164 would not exist. |
| 3 | 2025-12-30 03:22 | commented | vectorial8192 | Indeed.
My vibe is that, the guy is misunderstanding "physical constraints" with "legal restrictions". Clearly the river cannot support e.g. yacht-boats with their high sails, but one may always try. |
| 4 | 2026-01-28 13:38 | commented | vectorial8192 | Wait, fixme was raised by Kovoschiz; discussion needed. |
| 5 | 2026-02-05 17:04 | commented | Kovoschiz | Someone added `boat=no` in Fo Tan, which seems a mistake https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32559690
Originally it may have been `=drain` for being reclamation and channelized. That may not be considered accessible by default. |
| 6 | 2026-03-05 12:39 | commented | kingkingHK | Well, at least for Shing Mun River, `boat=no` should be wrong. We can remove it, alongside with the `fixme=`. |

| 2 | 2026-01-08 06:28 | commented | vectorial8192 | Haven't been to this exact area before, but never say never. This "extreme" slope is half believable. |
| 3 | 2026-01-08 10:09 | commented | kingkingHK | Not believable imo; it's 30 degrees, not percent. That's 57.7%. Probably can't even stand if it is that steep. |
| 4 | 2026-01-19 05:36 | commented | vectorial8192 | I will point out that some "sidewalks" in this area are more like "side steps" due to extreme slope, and that "extreme" slopes are somewhat believable.
As in, perhaps not really 30 degrees, but more like 20 degrees to 25 degrees, which is still "extreme". |
| 5 | 2026-01-19 06:12 | commented | kingkingHK | I would like to point out that 30 degrees is basically the steepness of an escalator/a step without landings. Even the "side steps" still have significant landings (how else would frontage access work?) simply because they aren't that steep.
Also, this is a vehicular road. Do you really think vehicles can travel up such a steep slope? |

One probable cause is the GPS collapsing everyone onto the same coordinates due to poor signals.

If we choose to trust changeset 171413551, then this is very obviously a 132kV power line. |
| 3 | 2025-11-15 03:09 | commented | kingkingHK | Well, the user who made changeset 171413551 (JacobPierce456) also changed a lot of 400 kV lines to 132 kV, even ones connecting to 400 kV substations, so I'm not sure if it's believable.
See also https://openinframap.org/#10.68/22.3758/114.1147 for visualisation of power line and voltages.

| 4 | 2025-12-06 14:30 | commented | vectorial8192 | I am no electrical engineer, but I think 400 kV infra can be easily repurposed to become 132 kV infra.
Unfortunately survey recommended to see what's going on; might be easier to check at Po Lam side. |
| 5 | 2026-01-15 13:58 | commented | kingkingHK | I vaguely remember reading somewhere (can't find it now) that CLP uses 400 kV while HK Electric uses 275 and 132 kV. This seems to largely correlate with existing osm data.

I also doubt a large voltage change is possible without some structures visible from aerial imagery.
However, the west side was also changed from 400 kV to 132 kV by the same DWG-blocked user in the ... |

Ain't no way there is a tiny section with 50 kmh speed limit inside a whole stretch of 70 kmh speed limit. |
| 4 | 2026-01-25 03:11 | commented | kingkingHK | 1. The speed limit ovals visible from aerial imagery do indeed show a 50 km/h marking there.
2. It makes sense that a sharp curve would have a lower speed limit than a straight highway, see also 30 bridge. |
| 5 | 2026-01-29 18:06 | commented | vectorial8192 | I am not doubting the existence of "50 kmh"; I am doubting that it lasts only this short, hence "unstable".
No details yet, but I am leaning towards
"Tsing Tin Road probably is not 70 kmh". |

| 8 | 2026-01-30 09:44 | commented | kingkingHK | Speed limit changes will result in a gazette, which I can't find any of. Also, if the speed limit is somehow changed, why do we still see 50 km/h ovals from 2025 aerial imagery when exiting Tsing Tin Road? |
| 9 | 2026-01-30 13:14 | commented | vectorial8192 | OK, no need to argue on the 50 kmh part, we got a traffic accident right at this place today and I can armchair-see clearly there is indeed a 50 kmh oval here.
The concern was whether the bridge got demoted from 70 kmh to 50 kmh while we were not looking, which trusting you did not happen.
Will make changeset soon. |

| 3 | 2025-12-15 04:29 | commented | vectorial8192 | Basically, the "correct" name is only decided very late into the construction process, which is essentially a month before usage. During construction, the station most likely has a technical but internal name, and ideally we should type that name into the name field, but obviously that's private info and we can't expect to know about that.
I opted... |
| 4 | 2025-12-15 04:30 | commented | vectorial8192 | However, imo the real station name will very likely be "Hung Shui Kiu" as most would expect, but right now that's unsubstantiated and would count as "original research"/"fabrication". |
| 5 | 2026-01-30 14:50 | closed | vectorial8192 | Discord discussion clarified that it's ok to use working names for the name field.
In addition, the concept name "Hung Shui Kiu" has been known by the public for 25+ years now (original West Rail planning).

Not having units per floor now doesn't mean it can't be created. Also it would be useful to have an `addr:flats=` per floor to show how they are numbered on each floor, as the format is not scalable to list all reliably. |

From aerial imagery (ESRI) it seems the landslide did happen, and then was dealt with by some concrete cover. |

Survey recommended. Can also check things like details and extent of concrete cover, state of https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/109195927 etc. |
| 4 | 2025-12-31 11:13 | commented | vectorial8192 | Aerial imagery can be used to guesstimate the extent. It being concrete cover (i.e. no trees) enables this.
My vibes are that the (vehicular) roads are still traversable. Otherwise, they can't do effective maintenance along the pond edge. |

Looking this in more detail, with the cleanliness of the concrete cover, I think the relevant section of the country trail is gone for good.

I don't trust GraphHopper (or any other electronic calculator) when it comes to mountain walking.
Also see https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5112232 to check whether the country trail was redesignated. |
| 9 | 2026-01-01 14:14 | commented | kingkingHK | Anyhow, `access=no` is not appropriate for "reclaimed by nature" imo. What's stopping you form using it?

| 10 | 2026-01-02 03:05 | commented | vectorial8192 | The blocked section became unobservable, and therefore gets `was:highway`.
The unblocked sections are hopefully still observable but became dead paths, and therefore gets `access=no` to (at least visually) indicate the path is dead.
Anyhow, you may always irl-check it. |

| 2 | 2025-11-04 06:52 | commented | vectorial8192 | Could be "road too narrow" so they set up traffic signals to ensure mutex access. Not every traffic signal needs to be at a junction (e.g. also see tunnel entrance traffic signals). |
| 3 | 2025-11-04 10:22 | commented | kingkingHK | Could be, but then there are many roads in Hong Kong narrower and busier than this road that still doesn't have traffic signals, and afaik this road is actually wide enough for two light vehicles to pass by each other.
Would still recommend a survey to prove/disprove their existence. |
| 4 | 2025-11-08 07:04 | commented | vectorial8192 | To add to this, aerial imagery (ESRI World Imagery) (see northeast) shows a section which is single-lane only. We may also faintly see a "stop here" line that often indicates a traffic signal.
OSM also has `lanes=1` here.
Mutex access is very very likely. It really isn't *that* wide.
Perhaps survey is not needed because there is nothing to do. |

| 3 | 2025-12-29 13:57 | commented | kingkingHK | The residential entrances sound like they could be `entrance=yes` + `addr:unit=` + `access=private`. They are verifiable after all.
I intend to map some basic indoor footpaths in this area soon, so I guess I will also deal with the mall entrances. |

Do you mean the place name cannot be used due to copyright or the source?
|
| 6 | 2025-12-11 04:46 | commented | vectorial8192 | OSM has very high standards on what can/cannot be included. One of these standards is "non-copyrighted data". e.g., "do not copy from other maps, e.g. Google Maps".
Problem: sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a certain information is copyright-protected. |

If you are unsure whether a map can be copied, it would be the safest to assume that it can't.

In terms of engineering, assuming the track curves are correct/accurate, then "midway between stations" is indeed the most likely configuration/position of the siding.

| 4978548 (iD) | 1 | 2025-09-25 09:45 | opened | Cypp0847 | the bridge area got divided up into various pieces as to differentiate opening dates and features. this made the rendering of name is quite clumsy over here. could we try and hide some of the names? |
| 2 | 2025-09-25 12:40 | commented | kingkingHK | This is more of a renderer discussion rather than an osm one, isn't it? |
| 3 | 2025-09-26 06:56 | commented | Kovoschiz | For implementation, there's `bridge:part=` proposed long ago without much attention, only mass added to a hundred. The fundamental conceptual problem here is how to define a `man_made=bridge` for twin , long, and multi-stage `bridge=viaduct` , as the eastbound on the west is new far apart, and longer span. |
| 4 | 2025-09-26 06:57 | commented | Kovoschiz | (`bridge:part=` is not a good format either, as `bridge=` isn't a feature, unlike `building=` ) |
| 5 | 2025-09-26 07:37 | commented | Kovoschiz | 3. The `start_date=` is difficult to define. In OHM, the object's existing status is used. In OSM, often the oldest applicable is used. |
| 6 | 2025-09-26 07:39 | commented | Kovoschiz | 4. Minor note: I didn't bother to draw the whole IEC western `=viaduct` , so doing this is also a lazy hack |
| 7 | 2025-09-26 07:40 | commented | Kovoschiz | 5. `ref=` is another factor that needs to be considered to define a `man_made=bridge` , aside from `name=` and `start_date=` (etc) |

| 4 | 2025-09-30 13:49 | commented | kingkingHK | Sorry for the uninformative comment earlier - honestly I'm not sure either, there's a very twisty and turny stair starting from the south-west end of Stadium Path, and most of it is behind a locked gate (slope maintenance path iirc), making it harder to survey.
Also I'm pretty sure there's a whole unmapped footway network in this area that's much ... |
| 5 | 2025-10-02 16:22 | commented | vectorial8192 | Well understandable; if it's a slope maintenance path, might as well pretend it doesn't exist at the moment. It wouldn't affect general map usage. |

| 2 | 2025-12-10 12:12 | commented | kingkingHK | Disagree with tourist attraction, it feels like just a fad. But of course we can still map the restaurant itself which seems to be unmapped in osm currently; online information says it is located somewhere near https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/515279343 |
| 3 | 2025-12-10 12:44 | commented | vectorial8192 | I have no comments on "is fad" or not, but indeed, at minimum we can map that restaurant into OSM.
When memes and copypasta leak into irl, even us at OSM can't possibly ignore them. The "fad" might just result in a new tourist attraction. |
| 4 | 2025-12-10 13:52 | commented | kingkingHK | Imo meme/copypasta is not sufficient to justify a tourist attraction; at least it needs to have a significant sustained group of people visiting it for the sake of it. While this might be true now, it is still too early to tell if this will last long enough to satisfy the "don't map temporary features/properties on osm" rule. |

I originally noticed this when I saw Carto render Tai Shue Wan over Ap Lei Chau at zoom 12 even though I personally consider Ap Lei Chau to be much more "important", so I wondered if that is caused by the over... |
| 4 | 2025-12-07 16:37 | commented | Kovoschiz | 1. The definition of populated can be debated. If there are hotels, or jails (need to do revision on census definition), are those really "unpopulated"? That's not the same as census definition of populations. Eg Penny's Bay, or Chek Lap Kok may have no residents either.
2. Carto doesn't always work. `population=` is not the only factor in what's ... |
| 5 | 2025-12-10 12:49 | commented | vectorial8192 | tbf renderers have their choice on picking what to render. Them picking Tai Shue Wan over Ap Lei Chau is their L.
Still, specifically for Ap Lei Chau, supposedly renderers should prioritize Ap Lei Chau because it's an island. I would expect "island > suburb". |

| 3 | 2025-09-16 13:56 | commented | vectorial8192 | The roundabout feels wrong, but aerial imagery cannot see if this is an actual roundabout with an actual concrete kurb or simply just a turning circle. |
| 4 | 2025-09-16 14:13 | commented | kingkingHK | The central island is traversable, so I think it should be `highway=turning_circle`. |
| 5 | 2025-09-17 19:14 | commented | Kovoschiz | There's a `=give_way` , so not entirely the most common `=turning_circle` , similar to `=mini_roundabout` |
| 6 | 2025-09-24 09:23 | commented | kingkingHK | Is the presence of a give way a factor in determining whether something is a turning circle though? I feel like its main purpose is to let buses from the bus terminus do a u-turn and leave, fitting the definition of "a widened area of road that allows vehicles to turn more easily". |
| 7 | 2025-09-24 14:10 | commented | vectorial8192 | I think the distinction is whether a "central circle" is visible.
If a "central circle" is visible then it's basically a `=mini_roundabout`.
The problem is, satellite imagery cannot see whether such "central circle" exists. |

Preliminary reports by structural engineers are indicating `abandoned=yes`, but full report is not out yet. |

I am not here to judge the methodology of using Mapillary Imagery. I'm here to point out that, looking at the Mapillary records saying 2017, it's just too ancient for convincing fact-checking.
And irl says "if length > 8m, then no right turns".
Therefore we have wrong/outdated info in OSM. |

But re the straight-ahead-only vs no-right-turn problem, I don't see why it's "wrong" when they are functionally equivalent for this specific junction. A semantic difference won... |
| 7 | 2025-11-14 13:32 | commented | vectorial8192 | Could just be me, but I view highly of semantic correctness. |
| 8 | 2025-11-14 14:22 | commented | kingkingHK | I still don't see how any one of them is more correct than the other, unless your definition of "correct" is "uses the same phrasing as the sign".
But still, as they are equivalent, it would of course be fine to change it to a no-right-turn restriction. Do what you like. |

| 5 | 2025-10-27 13:50 | commented | vectorial8192 | I mean, OSM mostly only cares about "signposted data", so even if irl is complicated, imo just flatten them to be `motor_vehicle=no` as signposted.

| 5004149 (iD) | 1 | 2025-10-13 12:35 | opened | kingkingHK | Does https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6705213942 really exist? Stand-alone traffic signal in a roundabout? If not, then what is this element supposed to be referring to, and where is traffic signal "NT417" actually at? |
| 2 | 2025-10-15 15:27 | commented | vectorial8192 | No idea why this was not discovered earlier.
Would guess this traffic light tries to refer to the traffic light system located southeast of this note; Wai Tsuen Road & Shek Wai Kok Road. |
| 3 | 2025-10-16 02:21 | commented | kingkingHK | But then, Wai Tsuen Road / Shek Wai Kok Road is already mapped as NT203.
Even if we are sure this traffic signal doesn't exist, the bigger mystery is where "NT417" is; is there a way to look up a traffic signal's location based on its ref? |
| 4 | 2025-10-16 14:56 | commented | vectorial8192 | Well, for starters, we have open data published by the HK gov.
See https://data.gov.hk/en-data/dataset/hk-td-tis_16-traffic-aids-drawings-v2
You would need to check whether it's OK to use this, and then interpret the data format yourself. Find this mystic "NT417" from the data dump, or discover that it doesn't exist. |
| 5 | 2025-10-17 07:04 | commented | Kovoschiz | You can't use that. It doesn't have controller numbering data either. |
| 6 | 2025-10-17 09:03 | commented | vectorial8192 | Well then, according to Overpass Turbo https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2dQa this is the only known instance of "NT417" in Hong Kong.
I am then thinking maybe this is a fabrication, that IRL there is no such "NT417" anywhere. |
| 7 | 2025-10-17 09:13 | commented | vectorial8192 | OSM data has NT414 and NT415 in Fo Tan. It also has NT418 in Yuen Long, NT419 in Kam Tin, and NT420 in Kwai Chung.
It seems these serial numbers are dependent on the completion date of these traffic signals.
One would guess perhaps some of the traffic signals in Fo Tan (lacking ref) might be the real NT417.
If anything, I see no problem deleting... |

| 4964711 (iD) | 1 | 2025-09-16 14:05 | opened | kingkingHK | Todo: Check speed limit of Fanling Highway south-east bound between Kai Leng and Wo Hop Shek Interchanges. (I think it's probably 100 or 80, instead of 70) |
| 2 | 2025-09-28 14:53 | commented | vectorial8192 | OSM Deep History says it was decreased from 100kmh to 70-80kmh. The context would be temporary speed reduction to install noise barriers.
Now that the work is done, I suspect this should then be restored to 100kmh, but yes, a survey is recommended because I am also not sure. |
| 3 | 2025-10-02 01:57 | commented | HenryEK | pretty sure its the second roundabout from here but i dont know if it affects it
https://www.td.gov.hk/en/traffic_notices/index_id_81860.html |
| 4 | 2025-10-02 12:33 | commented | kingkingHK | @seurish Pretty sure it's not? The temporary reduction you cited only starts on 5 Aug, while the 100->80 change was in 2014 (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/24419558), and the 80->70 change was in 2020 (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/92812210).
And such a short temporary measure should not be mapped anyway. |
| 5 | 2025-10-02 16:18 | commented | vectorial8192 | Still, if a notice mentions temporary reduction to "80km/h" then it is a very strong hint it should somehow be higher than that, i.e. might actually be "100km/h" originally. |
| 6 | 2025-10-02 16:18 | commented | vectorial8192 | (oh at the end it does explicitly say 100km/h...) |
| 7 | 2025-10-14 08:58 | closed | kingkingHK | Well, if it explicitly says 100 km/h, then I think it's good enough to believe it without further investigation. Resolved via https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/173263058 ; closing. |
