42026-09-12 19:45commentedKovoschizThere's always the possibility of it not being up-to-date. A previous Guru 24 was closed. However, there's indeed no recent info.

102026-09-18 20:31commentedKovoschizIf you have their app, you could check it. Sometimes apps are more developed and therefore updated than websites, as I have found for OK.
112026-09-22 17:06closedvectorial8192I think it was me, but visiting the website is equivalent to visiting the place IRL. Apps are part of the "closed web" and are therefore not eligible for referencing. Closing, hopefully for real this time.

22025-11-19 10:34commentedKovoschizHave they not lost all the cases?
32025-11-19 10:56commentedvectorial8192This is the part which I am out of the loop. The verdicts and the judicial arguments are convoluting. afaik the Company convinced a significant majority of tenants to leave, but the few remaining made a JR/appeal, which "pins" this estate as `landuse=residential` despite "obviously a construction yard".
42025-11-19 11:45commentedvectorial8192OK, I read the news. Basically, the Company eventually got all the flats back after some verdicts + arbitration. de jure the Estate is still `landuse=residential` until (I think) Dec 2025, but me discovering this situation this late to the story, it would just be a technicality issue, and can't justify an OSM edit. I will just hold this note open...
52025-12-25 15:01commentedkingkingHKHi there, we are long into December, I guess that means we can close this note with no actions to take?
62025-12-25 15:34commentedvectorial8192I have no idea why, but I seem to keep reading about new judicial resolutions way into December. I do not know whether there are more ongoing judicial cases.

82026-02-22 15:55commentedvectorial8192No updates, but I am very afraid to close this. Last time (December) I thought all cases were closed already, and then a few days later I read about a few of them freshly closed. Best bet would be to wait for the Company to do work. I think the news was that the Company would start partial work on this site as it waits for the several remaining c...

112026-06-06 14:41commentedkingkingHKYes, but if you are "discovering this situation this late to the story, it would just be a technicality issue, and can't justify an OSM edit", what is this note for?
122026-06-08 08:34commentedvectorial8192This is an extremely shitty residential area. The reason why no changes are possible is because OSM is for long term usage, but we know this residential area will become a construction area soon, just that we don't know when, so it doesn't justify an OSM edit. This does not stop this area from being an extremely shitty residential area, which is di...
132026-06-08 11:08commentedkingkingHKThe purpose of notes is to "assist others in mapping/editing". If no action can be taken, how is it not closable? Cf. e.g. we have previously closed notes from maps.me placed at the centre of large polygons, making the location inaccurate, on the basis that it is impossible to know where the action is needed, even though the text of the note is pe...

82026-09-25 18:37commentedvectorial8192Can't blame me for misunderstanding this; "link" is a generic English word.
92026-09-25 18:40commentedvectorial8192OK, but with this, we can establish that the map component is faulty. I shall automatically believe that the text list is legit, per "website = irl" principle.
102026-09-25 18:42commentedvectorial8192Also, it didn't help that, when OSM Carto was showing a "7 eleven" red text (some sort of commercial/retail feature), and then I tried to open iD to have a look, I found no references of "7 eleven" in OSM. @kingkingHK
112026-09-26 05:42commentedkingkingHK"Common" sense: Link is a well-known company; public housing shopping centres are run by Link; Link runs a website. Shouldn't be difficult to understand. "Common" sense: if you don't understand, don't instant-close it.
122026-09-26 05:44commentedkingkingHKSomeone tagged the entire shopping mall as 7-11, which is obviously wrong: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/185020744 But I didn't know whether I should create a 7-11 node, because I am not even sure if it exists, hence this note. @vectorial8192 given your level of experience in osm I somewhat expect you to be able to look up object histori...
132026-09-26 15:39commentedvectorial8192Taking the simplest interpretation, I could not help but wonder what it means by some sort of HTTP web link website.

(e.g. see protectkhnames) @kingkingHK the lack of any OSM information hinting towards "7 eleven" does not help your cause. At minimum you shou...
142026-09-27 05:42commentedkingkingHKImo this note is extremely simple to understand. But for preservation of mental sanity, I will not continue arguing on this.
152026-10-09 16:34commentedvectorial8192@kingkingHK retaining the information on OSM as some sort of live accessible data object would have greatly reduced followup efforts. Now you have made this an ordinary "start from scratch" note. Once again, I am disappointed.
162026-10-10 05:13commentedkingkingHKAnyhow, it must be incorrect to tag information about a shop on the shopping centre building way. There was no meaningful previous data. This is a "start from scratch" note because this is a "start from scratch" situation.
172026-10-11 17:43commentedvectorial8192Disappointing. While it is definitely wrong to attach shop info onto buildings, this configuration still provides some hints as to where the shop may be located. Past guy might have misunderstood something, then it is easier to followup. @kingkingHK your past actions have wastefully converted this note into a "start from scratch" note when it could...
182026-10-14 04:42commentedkingkingHK@vectorial8192 Can you please explain in simple and concise terms what you think I should have done, and how it would be an improvement compared to what I actually did?
192026-10-18 10:16commentedvectorial8192Simple. Don't do the changeset, and just place this note. That's all that should be done, and then someone (e.g. me) will come in and look at this properly, and then we can resolve this efficiently. Doing the changeset simply invites suspicion when the resulting OSM map data doesn't have any "7-eleven" to fix. We got all kinds of missing data on O...
202026-10-18 11:37commentedkingkingHKFor preservation of mental sanity, I will not respond to your points. Let's just hope similar incidents won't happen again in the future.
212026-10-22 18:19closedvectorial8192Administration is important, especially when this is a planet-scale project. Indeed, let's hope these kinds of admin confusion/ambiguity does not happen again. By survey, the store exists. I can vouch, what happened was that a past mapper wrongly placed the information on the building itself, but the real store does exist at the building (or build...

22026-01-10 04:14closedkingkingHKIt should as it can only be accessed from EHC. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11180794

42026-01-10 05:31commentedvectorial8192However: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/799005738 this has no tolls. My interpretation of OSM data meaning is that, if I am traveling on Route 2 here, I have to pay toll twice, which is wrong. First toll section is the EHC itself. Second toll section is this.
52026-01-10 06:04commentedkingkingHKI quote https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:toll > In any case `toll=yes` should be used on any section of road where a toll must be paid to access it. This supports tagging toll information on this section of Kwun Tong Bypass. Maybe we can do `toll:lanes=` for https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/799005738. Precedent see e.g. https://www.open...
62026-01-10 10:18commentedvectorial8192tbh sounds like "consequential mapping". Need not even do `toll:lanes=` imo. 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.
72026-01-11 05:04commentedkingkingHKI don't get your point. Are you trying to say that if a toll road shares a cross-section with a non-toll road then it isn't a toll road? 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? > I see this way/799005738 is outside of tun...
82026-01-11 12:37commentedvectorial8192I may have missed synonyms, but afaik I coined the term "consequential mapping" in the past few years. Basically, this attempts to describe a situation where features are getting tags and information not because of themselves, but because of something other than themselves. For example, if the right side road is a bus terminus, then creating "cann...
92026-01-11 13:26commentedkingkingHKWouldn't tagging toll information for and only for the tunnel area be "consequential mapping" as well, as you are basing it on whether "some other feature" (in the case, tunnel area) exists? And as I said, what will do if a non-tunnel area is tolled? Imo whether a road is tolled or not is a property of its own, and not a consequence of anything. E...
102026-01-11 17:53commentedvectorial8192imo `lit=yes` is not consequential because currently OSM streetlamps (and other lighting features) cannot specify which OSM features are being lit by them. I was preparing for a longer response on what `toll=*` really is, but then I suddenly noticed: e.g., https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/37669889 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/111048502 b...

132026-01-14 04:07commentedvectorial8192Socratic method. I will elaborate later, but my theme is that, for the toll tag, it should match the exact area and not do the "continue until junction" rule.
142026-01-14 04:53commentedkingkingHKI will patiently wait for your elaboration, but just as a reminder my point is that "the exact area" is identical to "continue until next junction".

22026-06-27 19:16commentedvectorial8192Armchair time. We will start by marking the affected roads as "unusable" since these are still observable on the ground. Then, when the time comes, we can mark them as "demolished".

42026-06-28 06:09commentedkingkingHKThen, the next step would be to migrate the bus relations. We may survey this to really take a deeper look into the situation to improve the mapping, but it might not be the most important, as per "OSM is not a worksite management software".

62026-10-17 16:03commentedkingkingHKI am confident that the carriageways have been dug up, but the status of the other features and the exact extend of the `landuse=construction`s await confirmation from a more careful re-survey. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/190652354
72026-10-20 09:49commentedvectorial8192The notices say "permanent closure". The planning docs say "neighbourhood remake". IRL says "tools are at site". I would just mark all associated roads as "undergoing demolition" and finish. If anything, the current situation (at writing) seems good enough.

82026-07-11 13:40commentedvectorial8192@Kovoschiz I think the hardest question is whether annex diagrams in legal texts can be used for OSM mapping. Do those count as regular diagrams (not for OSM) or extensions of legal documents (OK for OSM)? When we know the legality, things like checking the correct OSM tag should then be trivial.

22025-04-04 12:07commentedvectorial8192We don't seem to have a standard tag for capsule hotels.
32025-04-04 16:47commentedKovoschizIt has been decided to use `=hostel` https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JA:Tag:tourism=hostel Not literal `=hotel` as they are communal, mostly shared facilities https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/hostel=capsule

62025-04-05 04:54commentedvectorial8192Still, we can use this opportunity to improve the tagging of this feature.
72025-09-24 09:36commentedkingkingHKWill there be any further discussion on this note? It seems like the current tagging of the feature is fine (already has `tourism=hostel`), and any further improvements of tagging probably isn't very related to this note.
82025-09-24 14:12commentedvectorial8192Don't close it yet. Highly relevant to forum discussion; see https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/how-should-we-tag-capsule-hotels/128371 The intention / end goal is to somehow get this through the OSM wiki / approval process.
92025-09-24 21:08commentedKenktonI believe they should be tagged separately. They are not hostels, where rooms are shared, but they are also not hostels as facilities are shared.

132026-09-20 07:19commentedkingkingHK...how is the progress on this note going? Do we really need a note to track the OSM wiki approval process?
142026-09-20 18:19commentedKovoschiz@Kenkton There are hostels with options of non-shared rooms
152026-09-20 18:20commentedKovoschizAs long as there are communal facilities for toilets, bathrooms, or kitchens, it could count. Cf student halls or accomodations, and co-living.
162026-09-20 18:53commentedKenktonI think a capsule is a specific thing in its own right. It is a very specific type of accommodation become increasingly popular as prices for hotels and hostels soar. Unrelated, there still isn't a marker for 'British' food, which also has some very specific items.
172026-09-21 08:20commentedKovoschiz1. Capsules may be thought of as a shared room with secluded beds. Then there are "capsule" hotels with partitioned "rooms", which become indistinguishable. And Japan has always had "simple accomodation" with rooms, but shared toilets and baths. 2. There's `cuisine=british` , and `origin=british`
182026-09-21 08:21commentedKovoschiz1. If sliding doors are added to bunk beds, they don't structurally become much different
192026-09-21 20:05commentedKenktonTrue, but you do then have a private space. The most reason capsule I stayed in in London, Zedwell Piccadilly isn't just enclosed bunk beds. I get your point though.

22026-07-14 17:15commentedHenryEK towards the left is upwards
32026-07-14 17:55commentedvectorial8192Honestly this question is just way too technical to be made available to gamified mapping apps. I don't know where to begin complaining.
42026-07-14 17:57commentedvectorial8192Aside from the technicality, @HenryEK notice the remarks are saying that perhaps the entire staircase is closed/demolished. Contextually this makes sense because we know there are / will be some construction works to improve Po Shek Wu Road. We should proceed by checking whether this staircase really is gone.
52026-07-14 18:20commentedHenryEKmy weekly commute passes through, i can check within a few days the surrounding area has construction barriers for a while and po shek wu has had the central dividing barrier replaced iirc, the barriers obscure the staircase so it will probably be hard to check, but i am just going off what i vaguely remember i dont think the staircase has been...
62026-07-15 02:01commentedkingkingHKChecking whether the staircase is open to the public is a valid todo. Can be tagged with `access=private` if not.
72026-07-15 17:16commentedvectorial8192I would do "access=no" if the staircase is closed due to the ongoing construction works.
82026-07-16 00:10commentedHenryEKstaircase and subway seem to be blocked off with metal panels
92026-07-16 01:31commentedkingkingHKIf it is simply closed, then it should be `access=private` because construction workers can still use it. If it is being actively demolished and reconstructed then just make it `highway=construction` and let data consumers imply the rest.
102026-07-18 13:18commentedvectorial8192The access tag topic (pending) is leaking. I will just no-explain re-recommend "access=no" and finish. The explain part is pending at Discord.

32026-06-27 09:27commentedvectorial8192Not sure which side you went, but aerial imagery suggests the opening could be at "22.438334,114.182104". It does not seem likely for the site to have an entrance next to the CLP site.
42026-06-27 09:33commentedvectorial8192However, per https://www.landsd.gov.hk/doc/tc/consent/monthly/t2c_2405.pdf , the provisional address does hint towards the entrance being next to the CLP site, contrary to what aerial imagery would suggest.

That said, we can use this opportunity to confirm the shape of the terminus, and also the situation surrounding the station (e.g. marketplace? old terminus? etc).

32026-01-09 11:16commentedvectorial8192I mean, we can't really just say "this is useless" (this note hints towards a brownfield and therefore can be added to OSM), but obviously it seems we don't know how to "properly" use this information.
42026-01-09 12:04commentedkingkingHKThis doesn't feel any more useful than the spam/private notes typing in an address. Imo the most we can do is mapping/improving features in this area.
52026-01-24 15:06commentedvectorial8192Back then I would instant-close notes that only contain addresses. However imo a plot name/ID is stronger than an address, so these cannot be instant-closed.
62026-01-25 03:16commentedkingkingHKImo a plot name is just a fancier/more formal address.

92026-03-04 11:53commentedvectorial8192Well, at minimum we should try to see if this is somehow signposted (probably not). We can then see which irl area(s) correspond to this plot of land; at minimum we can clarify the industrial areas into several distinct plots, likely partitioned along the roads. Ultimately it's sometimes not possible to very clearly and precisely state beforehand ...
102026-05-20 10:19commentedkingkingHKThen, seeing I have no such feeling and still don't really know what to do with this note (imo clarification/partitioning of the land belongs in "general stream"), I will just leave this note to you, or someone who knows how to deal with this (might be future me).

52026-06-30 11:20commentedvectorial8192Special note: Because Sha Tau Kok border crossing is being rebuilt, and I don't think any HK mapper here has STK Border Area permit, we will have to fully armchair this. We should give this to Discord for discussion.

72026-06-30 21:00commentedJon Wangi meant mainlander(i'm one of them)But you guys can get that idea.
82026-07-01 06:59commentedvectorial8192Understandable. We use OSM notes to point out data problems. The OSM platform allows global communication, so CN-HK both sides can detect and know there is this data problem.
92026-07-01 08:40commentedvectorial8192So far I can see the problem is that the legal boundaries and the actual lines-of-control seems to be different; some places are outside HK border control, suggesting CN direct control.
102026-07-04 14:56commentedvectorial8192An effective international example is found: the River Moselle, running along Germany and Luxembourg, is a condominium of both. We can see that overlapping boundary relations is an acceptable mapping style.
112026-07-07 09:46commentedvectorial8192Upon further review, this is actually not a condominium. For example, the Hong Kong government does not pay for the upkeep of the Sha Tau Kok neighbourhood east of the defined borders.

22026-08-08 06:29commentedvectorial8192While rendering issues are normally not entertained by OSM, it should be noted that the current pier is mapped as a "no hole multipolygon", which makes it equivalent to a standard polygon and defeats the "multipolygon" classification. This does not seem like the proper mapping method, and should be reviewed.
32026-08-08 09:18commentedKovoschizThis is not a problem technically. Large areas are commonly drawn as `=mutlipolygon`
42026-08-08 11:17commentedvectorial8192I must admit I forgot the "large multipolygon" practice. However, for "industrial area" https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/10507292 , seems like it should be "two separate areas which constitute the facility" rather than "a single piece of land that covers open water (?!)". This is the questionable mapping method that I mentioned.
52026-08-09 09:46commentedKovoschizIt means a facility, not land. This is caused by a lack of a feature as `man_made=works` is for factories. `=marina` covers both land and water too.
62026-08-09 09:50commentedKovoschizAnd `landuse=aquaculture`
72026-08-10 08:10commentedvectorial8192Marina is about using the water to park boats. Aquaculture is about using the water to farm fish. Harbour is about using the land to pack cargo (analogous to train cargo terminal) to/from trucks, which happens to interface with cargo ships, thus the most common implementation is to build the harbour at the coast to allow easy access. The legal/pra...
82026-08-10 18:48commentedKovoschizNo, that's not the terminology Port: Authority Harbour: Waters Terminal: Land facility `=harbour` is furthermore flawed as I noted there

102026-08-11 17:03commentedvectorial8192Will leave seamark aside because that does seem like very technical and separate maritime system data.

22026-04-25 07:13commentedvectorial8192One issue is that the admin bounds is defined to be along the road, which means iD can't deal with this, and JOSM must be used.
32026-04-25 07:20commentedkingkingHKI would out point out that it is highly discouraged to glue boundaries to other features.
42026-04-25 07:34commentedvectorial8192Then, in this case, after we detach the features, should we somehow move the boundaries to the east side or the west side? My near-future action is to split the ways somehow but keep the boundaries attached, for lack of good/obvious solution.
52026-04-25 08:02commentedkingkingHKImo keep it at the centreline. OSM's ways are an abstraction anyway. For the single carriageway section, I would put the boundary very close to but not attached to the highway. (If I am wrong @Kovoschiz can correct me)
62026-04-25 08:35commentedKovoschizIf the border is really defined by the road throughout time, attaching along the latter is passable. But HK isn't. If the road has been widened (it has in some sections), it won't follow.
72026-04-25 08:37commentedKovoschiz(for the non-widened section, it's still toleratable)
82026-04-25 13:55commentedvectorial8192We notice that we naturally arrive at the same question again: how/where do we check for 18-District boundaries? When we know how those are defined, we will know whether we need to disconnect the ways.
92026-07-11 14:16commentedvectorial8192Ignoring the boundary definition, one practical blocker was/is that iD cannot easily disambiguate/select features when they perfectly overlap each other. However, later I found that iD has option to hide admin-bounds. Then, roads become selectable. JOSM situation notwithstanding, this means we now have a friendlier entrance to at least tackle the...
102026-07-12 10:24commentedvectorial8192As it turns out, iD becomes very restrictive when there are hidden features, so we are unfortunately back at the first step.
112026-07-12 11:23commentedkingkingHKNot too sure what blocker you are facing, but can't you just disconnect the nodes, or use ctrl+up arrow to select the correct way?
122026-07-14 18:01commentedvectorial8192"This can't be disconnected because it connects members of a relation". It just so happens that both sides (bus relations and boundary relations) use the same nodes. Ctrl+down only selects all points of the way (which still disallows disconnecting). Ctrl+up doesn't seem to do anything.
132026-07-25 16:51commentedvectorial8192Admin bounds unglued using JOSM. Very messy. Hopefully basic connectivity is still fine.

142026-02-06 15:05commentedvectorial8192I am thinking perhaps `museum=science` with `subject=astronomy` or `museum:subject=astronomy`. Cosmology is a subset of astronomy. Astronomy should automatically imply "spaceflight"; can't have serious (space) observations without rocket-delivered satellites and telescopes.

172026-07-26 10:28commentedvectorial8192Some extra thoughts: Museum tag should be "museum=science" because this museum does demonstrate some science theories. The museum tag should "converge" to the fields of study at universities. Subject tag should be "subject=astronomy".

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.

22026-07-23 10:15commentedvectorial8192The context is "integrated bridges", ie "bridges that do not have bridge joints". The current convention is "these do not get bridge=yes" but I semi-disagree with this convention.
32026-07-23 19:20commentedKovoschizWhere do you get that "current convention"? (Box) culverts should be distinguished by whether there's a continuous structure all around the thing it's crossing.

52026-07-25 05:30commentedvectorial8192I observe and deduce conventions, but in this case I have missed the bridge joints. I partially blame the iD polygon rendering obscuring the joint lines. If have bridge joints, then should get "bridge=yes". I believe @Kovoschiz you would also agree?

52026-06-26 10:05commentedkingkingHKActually I think we should check the laws for slope maintenance paths first. I don't know if there are laws specifically prohibiting unauthorised access to slope maintenance paths, but if not it feels very wrong to apply `access=private`, especially as the gates of some are rarely locked, or simply useless (e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/laapsaaptun...

72026-06-27 07:09commentedvectorial8192While I cannot immediately provide examples, some slope maintenance paths are green signposted as roughly "no unauthorized entry", which means instant access=private and case closed, which doesn't care about whether the gates are physically open or not. It is unclear whether this case is one of them.
82026-07-16 12:30commentedvectorial8192By survey, the lower half is indeed slope maintenance paths. Excluding those, no paths were identified to be going uphill. We will just split these paths up.

42026-07-12 04:16commentedkingkingHKIndeed. But for a few hiking-related notes (including this), the mapping could be made much easier with 1996 government maps, which is why I procrastinate a bit and wait until permission to use pre-1997 maps. But honestly I haven't wrote to LWG, and I am pessimistic about a response, seeing that the LWG apparently hasn't met for nearly half a year.
52026-07-14 16:43commentedvectorial8192iirc Crown Copyright (Colonial Office) is the usual 50 years. Ignoring the LWG, per the Joint Declaration, the Crown Copyright is still in effect. That would put us to 2046. To be honest with you, a clean notes list is much better than just waiting to 2046. I can't be sure sure whether I would be around at OSM till 2046. Same applies to you.

62026-07-14 16:46commentedvectorial8192In other words: If you are trying to write to the LWG in the hopes of them printing a response saying "British Hong Kong copyright can be automatically invalidated before reaching the natural lifespan by using some obscure technical trick" then I am gonna tell you, this is an extremely unlikely outcome.
72026-07-15 01:56commentedkingkingHK...? Crown Copyright is Open Government License, which I reasonably suspect to be compatible with OSM. This is not an invalidation or technical trick of any sort.

52026-07-14 16:36commentedvectorial8192I don't know why you have that conclusion. Given that the same changeset freshly provided the many houses in the area (with housenumbers!) but missed out housenumber for only a few houses, it is not possible to rule out editing mistakes. Editors will sometimes forget about something when doing long changesets; e.g. happens to me sometimes.

22026-07-11 14:13commentedvectorial8192Aerial imagery clearly shows "no physical separation". It's the "chain of laziness". Road expansion works, draw new WIP road (correct). WIP complete, change tags (correct). But then it turns out there are some sections with no physical separation. We can either focus only on this spot, or we do a sectional scan from Sam Shing to Aegean Coast.

22026-05-20 15:34commentedvectorial8192Thinking about this in further detail, I can recall that the somewhat well-known "banner place" originating from the 2019 protests is located somewhere around here. We may try to do some long-distance trigonometry to see if this is a reasonable hypothesis.
32026-05-25 12:02commentedkingkingHKThe quoted node was created in 2024 when everything from 2019 should have vanished. But you can try.
42026-05-25 13:49commentedvectorial8192You never know. To some foreigners, the protests never stopped. We can do trigo.
52026-06-23 12:21commentedkingkingHKBy survey, can't find any artwork here. But I won't stop you from doing whatever trigo you wants, so I won't touch the node or resolve this notefor now.
62026-07-11 14:29commentedvectorial8192By looking at the 2019 past photos (this gotta be copyright-waivable for being well-known and recurring facts / historic events), the banner trigo actually points towards the lion head at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3965148556 , which is clearly not here. Also, the viewing direction is from the east side. Then yes we can delete this.

52026-04-25 06:42commentedvectorial8192While we are here, given that the rails were destroyed and then remade, I think we should have e.g. `start_date=2026` and `was:start_date=19XX`?
62026-04-25 06:48commentedkingkingHKSure, something like `railway=light_rail` + `start_date=2026-04-24` + `demolished:railway light_rail` + `demolished:start_date=1995-03-26` + `demolished:end_date=2017` + `was:railway=construction` + `was:construction=light_rail` + `was:construction:railway=light_rail` + `was:start_date=2017` + `was:end_date=2026-04-24`?
72026-04-25 14:03commentedvectorial8192(imo too verbose, but OK) Main issue is that we can't possibly have railway=X and then at the same time demolished:railway=X when X is same both sides. (troll-tagging?) imo at some point we simply do not need to keep "was:*=*"; the "was" prefix is to prevent unintended remapping when e.g. aerial imagery doesn't match irl. Here with the lack of ae...
82026-04-25 14:08commentedkingkingHKYeah, I also find it too verbose, I only wrote that because you mentioned it. Imo all the `demolished:*=` `was:*=` can go to OHM. And then, Theseus's Ship, if the platforms and rails were completely demolished and rebuilt, it might not be totally appropriate to keep using the same element. I haven't checked if the geometry changed meanwhile.
92026-04-25 14:21commentedvectorial8192The station is "Theseus' Ship"; "Theseus' Ship" is more about the entire thing rather than the individual parts. At first glance it's not possible to have a different geometry/size, but we can always irl check this.
102026-04-26 03:41commentedkingkingHKOk maybe I fumbled my words, but yeah that's basically what I was trying to say. If the geometry has really changed, it would be a very strong case to delete and redraw.
112026-04-27 11:38commentedKovoschizIf it's only slightly changed and not moved significantly, no need to redraw. Simply adjust it.
122026-04-27 14:55commentedvectorial8192Given how the west side has space for a multi-level driveway https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1351494329 I strongly armchair-believe the rails cannot be located at any other place.

132026-05-01 08:18commentedkingkingHKBy survey, seems like the station dimension is kinda wrong, which tbh is expected. I will probably summarise my findings in Discord first (Soon™).
142026-07-11 13:52commentedvectorial8192Seeing no updates to this note, perhaps I may ask some extra questions. Given that the observed dimensions are different from the OSM mapped dimensions, how different are both measurements? Is it because e.g. the platforms are shifted along some direction, which is not in OSM?

32026-03-18 18:48commentedMateusz Koniecznyoh definitely - turns out that sometimes really unexpected matches are real but it looks really suspect if such things are known to exist here, please close the note
42026-03-21 13:03commentedvectorial8192Deja vu I may have replied to a note that looks like this before. 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.
52026-03-21 13:52commentedkingkingHKYou are probably thinking of https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4745192 ? Anyway, the current mapping seems correct. However, as there are some open notes nearby that cannot be resolved without a survey, it may be fine to leave this open and wait for someone to survey this alongside.
62026-04-12 09:47commentedkingkingHKBy survey, it seems like there is a store inside the restaurant. I'm not sure how to map this. (Also, I am not sure if `shop=kiosk` is correctly for mapping 士多, feels like `shop=convenience` more?
72026-04-13 07:23commentedKovoschizIt's `=general`
82026-04-26 11:20commentedvectorial8192From what I can remember/imagine, "士多" can sell anything from food (e.g. wheat), newspaper, to magazines and other misc stuff. It does seem to be a general shop. If no big disagreements, then we can proceed with that.
92026-05-04 06:57commentedMateusz KoniecznyAnd for shop in shop - I would map both as separate objects. Maybe outer one as an area?
102026-05-04 14:56commentedvectorial8192That sounds like a swamp. We (or at least just myself) do not know how large the "outside shop" is, esp the back part. I rather keep them both as a single node.

142026-07-11 12:09commentedvectorial8192This is indeed a swamp. Either we keep it to the single node (current situation), or we do full indoor mapping to properly describe which part of the building is the restaurant-proper and which part is the storefront.

22025-09-11 12:30commentedkingkingHKAt least when I attempted to visit the location of this note today, there was a guard dog stopping people from getting close. Might be difficult to verify this note if the situation persists.
32026-04-26 15:38commentedvectorial8192@kingkingHK do you vaguely remember where you encountered dogs? This may hint towards an area where everything within is `access=private`.

52026-04-28 14:32commentedvectorial8192They don't call it the Autonomous Region of Yuen Long for lulz and giggles. Re your 2nd paragraph, when you see a gate on the eastern side that's not on OSM, that alone is enough to motivate a changeset. The fact that the (new) changeset is not directly related to this note is not a problem, that's still a good contribution.
62026-05-17 14:26commentedvectorial8192However, upon closer look, aerial imagery doesn't show any gate-like structure on the NE side as described. It seems not enough info to affirm or deny this note.
72026-05-23 06:37commentedkingkingHKI mean, a gate practically has negligible depth. I don't know why you expect to see in aerial imagery. But still, my finding of a gate seems to be unrelated to this note.
82026-05-25 09:52commentedvectorial8192Depending on the gate material/construction, I would expect a shadow line on the aerial imagery, but I could not find this.
92026-07-11 10:04commentedvectorial8192Ultimately, in OSM we trust. Seeing this is in Yuen Long, this note is believable. There are definitely rural areas that belong to villagers. Contextually this area is built for (private) aquaculture though it seems recent years the villagers want houses more than ponds.

32026-07-09 12:16commentedvectorial8192Given that Hong Kong does not define "cycle crossings", I will just refactor these to be regular crossings.

42026-03-05 05:18commentedkingkingHK...ok somehow I didn't notice it was added a few hours before I made this note. But its alignment seems wrong; I will make a changeset soon.
52026-07-07 11:50commentedvectorial8192By survey, we do have this u-turn, but the u-turn is very short, I do not think there is much alignment to speak of. Propose closing.
62026-07-09 12:06closedvectorial8192This is a minor issue, and the current data is passable. Someone will naturally review this when doing Pak Shek Kok station in the future. This is in vision range. Therefore, closing.

42026-06-02 13:48commentedkingkingHKA very simple proof is that if O King Road can be used as a through-road, then the traffic levels obviously won't be so low.
52026-06-02 15:31commentedvectorial8192The tricky part is that, because O King Road is the first car-usable road into TKO, I feel like the land deed etc should have something which grants some limited public access to it.

22025-11-04 06:52commentedvectorial8192Could 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).
32025-11-04 10:22commentedkingkingHKCould 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.
42025-11-08 07:04commentedvectorial8192To 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.

52026-02-01 13:53commentedvectorial8192Seeing 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.
62026-02-01 14:09commentedkingkingHKI doubt it is walled with `access=private`; "gated communities" are rare in Hong Kong other than a few posh low-density estates.
72026-02-01 14:32commentedvectorial8192Newer HOS estates (e.g. this) are not posh but are walled off and access=private . Try it yourself.
82026-02-02 03:59commentedkingkingHKI 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".
92026-02-05 08:18commentedvectorial8192This 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.
102026-02-05 14:13commentedkingkingHKAnyhow, this location is easy to get to. I see no reason to not survey this to make sure.
112026-02-22 04:46commentedkingkingHKSomeone seems to be implying King Nga Court has no gates: https://www.hkitalk.net/HKiTalk2/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=2268280&pid=5395094
122026-03-20 11:52commentedvectorial8192By 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?
132026-03-20 12:32commentedkingkingHKI 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?
142026-03-20 14:14commentedvectorial8192I 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`.

172026-03-21 11:08commentedKovoschiz`access=` is only about whether you can use it legally, not physically. `=permissive` is publicly allowed/tolerated now, but no enshrined rights guaranteed. @vectorial8192 Carto renders at least some icons semi-transparently with different `access=`
182026-03-21 11:39commentedkingkingHKWithout 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.
192026-05-23 12:38commentedkingkingHKIf no further comments I will map the playground and tag it as `access=permissive`.
202026-05-25 10:03commentedvectorial8192I am leaning towards access=private ("semi-open") but other than this point, I have no more effective comment.
212026-05-25 11:26commentedkingkingHKI have gave my points for making it `access=permissive`, if you have no more comments to justify `access=private` then I will keep it as `access=permissive.`
222026-05-30 11:00commentedvectorial8192Lack of enforcement doesn't mean absence of rules. Your point of access=permissive is ultimately not convincing and possibly unfounded. I once again reiterate with the Wiki page for access=private , that the park is *not* for general public use. Features need not be physically barricaded to be access=private , such as in this case. The guards bein...
232026-05-30 11:13commentedkingkingHKWell consider this: private roads with no guards and gates is `access=permissive` (e.g. Cityone Shatin); how is this different?
242026-05-31 09:18commentedvectorial8192As I have found out by I think it was @Kovoschiz , examples like Cityone Shatin with "signposted private road" are actually ownership=private , and has nothing to do with access rights. Then, afaik Cityone Shatin doesn't really signpost about who may use those roads, which therefore finally gives it access=permissive . The "private road" sign itsel...
252026-05-31 09:24commentedvectorial8192Discord may or may not elaborate deeply what means by "signposted private road" but the quick takeaway is that, this is simply an act of "delegation" by Transport Department to delegate maintenance responsibilities to a private entity rather than the next-door Highways Department.
262026-06-18 08:57closedkingkingHKAfter rethinking, I now agree that this should be `access=private`. Resolved viahttps://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/184260921 ; closing.

52026-02-01 12:34commentedkingkingHKGovernment maps say "Wo Hop Shek Columbarium Phase II & Phase IV" is a building, not an open area. Survey needed.
62026-02-12 06:46commentedvectorial8192iirc this is a named area ("columbarium") with several unnamed small "mini-columbarium" buildings.
72026-06-11 08:35commentedkingkingHKOk, indeed what @vectorial8192 said was correct. I will need to think of a way to map this correctly.
82026-06-12 11:39commentedKovoschizI used `amenity=columbarium` for sites, and `man_made=tomb` + `tomb=columbarium` + `building=roof` for the structures. `cemetery=sector` on its own will be thought as graves, and it may be used for rows/groups/sections inside each structure.
92026-06-12 11:41commentedKovoschizSites meaning eg "Wo Hop Shek Columbarium". The phases should be something else. Or it depends on whether they are different facilities. The other problem is whether the 2 phases are different. If yes, they should be separated.

112026-05-25 10:13commentedvectorial8192Anyway, it does hint towards a possible fact that LOHAS Park station rails are not built in the "usual" symmetric way. We should (re)survey this.
122026-05-29 10:06commentedkingkingHKSupport a resurvey, but probably wait until we figure out how to properly measure railway curves (see e.g. Tuen Ma Line Hin Keng <-> Diamond Hill remeasurement; have you forgotten about that?)
132026-05-30 17:00commentedvectorial8192I still remember the Tuen Ma Line thingy, though admittedly with these many stuff going on (both on OSM and irl), that one simply doesn't "float back up" the task queue. For railway curves we can once again give to the ol-reliable Discord.
142026-05-31 14:21commentedkingkingHKRe too many stuff, understandable. I am certainly not immune from it either. But not sure what you mean by "ol-reliable Discord". What does giving to Discord do, when the OSM HK Discord server is largely just an echo chamber of me, you, and Kovoschiz?
152026-05-31 16:12commentedvectorial8192Discord is great for in-depth exploration e.g. images and long message chains and topic organization, which unfortunately OSM website / wiki is not too good at.

162026-05-31 18:01commentedKovoschizA Discourse forum category requires 3 moderators. That doesn't make sense if all 3 are the main active members. It doesn't have a chat for short questions either.
172026-05-31 18:08commentedKovoschizIt's possible to regularly make public Discord content, and Matrix should be possible, but can't see whether threads and posts are supported. May not be the best either. https://yui-kitamura.github.io/Discord2Html/index.html
182026-05-31 18:28commentedKovoschizIn terms of FOSS: Matrix somewhat works (but no threads and posts)
192026-06-02 14:03commentedvectorial8192I worded it poorly. Matrix is well-meaning but still "closed web". What I care is that e.g. Google Search can see our discussions and conclusions, for efficient info dissemination. Again, the mitigation / workaround is to discuss intensely at Discord, and then expand the HK OSM wiki page(s) with summaries.
202026-06-12 10:23commentedkingkingHKAgree with your workaround, but the HK OSM wiki pages look kinda abandoned. We might want to clean them up first, before adding any new info.

52026-05-05 03:04commentedkingkingHKYeah, why do you think I recommended a survey?

62026-05-05 09:12commentedvectorial8192The note is poorly worded, but I believe it tries to refer to https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/7239851 .

72026-05-05 10:30commentedkingkingHKI fail to see why the quoted changeset "must always be" correct. If you fail to provide a source I will just revert the changeset for being groundless guesswork.
82026-05-05 16:56commentedvectorial8192You can try, but the changeset is very intuitive and trivial.
92026-05-05 17:00commentedvectorial8192To clarify, among all the kinds of "guesswork" that you may want to guard against, this is the kind of changeset that is a direct consequence of how some of us chose to map the junction in the past. Normally / by default / compared to "normal" I-shape mapping, that Y-shape section is not u-turn-able.
102026-05-06 03:11commentedkingkingHKCalling everything "trivial" does not make your argument any stronger. (proof by intimidation?) Like, how do you know Yan Ching Street has a double white line and not a dashed line?

132026-05-07 17:20commentedKovoschiz@vectorial8192 There's no such law. It's only when you obstruct others. If it's really never acceptable, it should be a default to be treated by applications, not added explicitly in OSM.
142026-05-07 17:22commentedKovoschizApplications should be able to penalize these heavily. There's no need to do this.
152026-05-09 13:43commentedvectorial8192This is going nowhere. You both try to push the ball to software side. Software side can then try to push the ball back to data side (here) by claiming "it's too risky to decide things in absence of actual data". Someone has to do it; I choose data side. Honestly, what's the actual problem with that changeset other than "this doesn't fit our philo...
162026-05-09 13:47commentedvectorial8192I can say more about the underlying theme of "undecidability", but seeing this is just an OSM note, I caution to say, maybe the changeset is all that we need, and no survey is actually needed.
172026-05-09 14:21commentedkingkingHKYou are completely missing my point. I am trying to point out that "u-turn right after junction" is not necessarily inappropriate, and instead is just a "legit u-turn that's exactly at this extreme angle". The problem with that changeset is that you seemingly pulled it out of your arse. And, I have already pointed out that I dispute the existence ...
182026-05-10 19:46commentedKovoschiz@vectorial8192 It seems the misunderstanding is from using the wrong reason. The correct logic here is this is a fake "y" caused by the road changing between divided and undivided in this intersection. The "Y" is inside the intersection. There's no "exiting a junction" as I got confused by your wording.
192026-05-10 19:55commentedKovoschizBut actually I myself have visited here recently. There's no u-turn ban sign for Yan Cheung St eastbound. So you are wrong in fact. You need to set it up so that it only restricts Heung Sze Wui Rd northbound. However in general, it would be a good theoretical question whether u-turn is allowed around a far-side island when the intersection prohibit...
202026-05-10 19:59commentedKovoschizTo summarize, the other possible misunderstanding on the problem is you have mistakenly set it up to wrongly restrict Yan Ching St. Or quite the opposite, you need to use `implicit=yes` to show this is about the u-turn already allowed via Heung Sze Wui Rd southbound.
212026-05-10 20:06commentedKovoschizOr actually this is illegal because it is a straight-ahead movement, and it's still inside the intersection. In any case, we should use clearer arguments.
222026-05-10 20:19commentedKovoschizFor the sake of clarity, it's not illegal to turn right, move forward somewhat significantly, u-turn, and turn left, to go opposite direction on the original road. But this Y is ("correctly" drawn) inside the intersection.
232026-05-10 20:27commentedKovoschizIf you explain "This is to prevent a u-turn via the right-turn" and "Yan Ching St can u-turn inside the "square box" on Heung Sze Wui Rd", and even better realize "the Y-shape is inside the intersection", there won't be such a long debate from "must always be correct" and "very intuitive and trivial". I can only realize what's happening here from ...
242026-05-12 10:04commentedvectorial8192(late resume) You (all) may or may not notice that I often subconsciously choose the wrong words to represent ideas that I am very sure to be correct. This is one of them. To strengthen/clarify my point, I can agree e.g. if cars turn into Yan Ching Street and then use Tak Chung Court to u-turn, or just directly u-turn at the Tak Chung Court juncti...
252026-05-12 14:24commentedkingkingHKOk, I think I am understanding the situation now. I mistakenly thought that there is a traffic island on Yan Ching Street (east side). If there were, then the Y-shape would be outside the junction, and u-turning along the Y would be equivalent to turning right, going forward a bit, u-turning, then waiting for the traffic signal again and turning l...

22025-11-14 14:56commentedvectorial8192Also see https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/188837279 - no way any irl power cable runs with just 132V; now is not Victorian - past OSM history shows DWG intervention; possibly good faith but hit innocent changeset of fixing "132V" If we choose to trust changeset 171413551, then this is very obviously a 132kV power line.
32025-11-15 03:09commentedkingkingHKWell, 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.
42025-12-06 14:30commentedvectorial8192I 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.
52026-01-15 13:58commentedkingkingHKI 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. Anyway, I tried to visit to poles to see if there are any signage indicating voltage, but failed. The Po Lam side is surrounded by construction works, while the Anderson side i...
62026-01-30 09:46commentedkingkingHKI went to https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1994601826 , and disappointingly there were no indication of voltage at all.

Both are suspiciously and conveniently separated by Shun Lee Estate and Shun Chee Court. Could it be that the original HV overhead power line was split into two due to urba...
82026-02-01 11:33commentedkingkingHKAgree with your thought. Old maps show the power line being constructed in the early 1970s, around the same time Shun Lee Estate was being developed. 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 ...

102026-05-27 15:00commentedvectorial8192A good timing for "semi-regular rechecking" is when some construction completes, and then we can check the "adjacent" constructions or existing features to see if the construction is completed wholly or partially.

42026-01-30 03:12commentedkingkingHKThen, sounds like this stop has simply expanded, and the platform moved.
52026-02-09 14:14commentedvectorial8192Upon further review, I am half-unsure how to deal with this. It seems the structures on both ends are tagged as "station" while midway locations are simply marked as "request stops"?
62026-02-09 14:21commentedkingkingHKBut the midway stations really are request stops though. I don't see the problem, or how it relates to this note.
72026-02-10 07:03commentedKovoschizHaving 2 `=station` is obviously wrong. `railway=stop` should be used on the `railway=` track. The polygon should be enlarged as `area:railway=station` , and a `railway=station` point recreated.

22024-02-07 04:24commentedHighlandPaddyHKConfirmed, I went to visit Osborn's Cairn and the pylon was gone!
32024-11-02 13:05commentedvectorial8192I 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 )
42024-11-02 15:16commentedIan HoWhen 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.

22026-03-31 17:06commentedvectorial8192for the observers, iirc a question was asked at Discord about "station area" vs "(many) station building parts" for underground MTR stations.
32026-04-01 03:02commentedkingkingHKIndeed, I was trying to clarify on mapping underground `building=train_station`, but somehow that conversation ended midway. My plan for now is to buy some better indoor surveying equipment, indoor map a few shopping centres to gain some indoor mapping experiences, then deal with the various poorly drawn MTR stations.
42026-04-01 04:56commentedvectorial8192I can't stop you, but face value looking at "better indoor surveying equipment" that does not sound like a good idea. Indoor surveying is either beacon-based (if exists, MTR likely won't expose the beacon implementation details) or rangefinder-based (potentially expensive equipment; LIDAR, laser, or what technology?) There's also a concern that th...
52026-04-01 07:40commentedKovoschizMalls can be guessed from the exterior, and interior layout. Stations can be guessed from platforms, exits, and shafts or buildings. Doesn't need equipment to get a sketch.
62026-04-01 07:52commentedKovoschizThere are motion-based measuring devices that creates drawings by walking https://www.moasure.com/ iPhone "Lidar" ToF camera might be the most common consumer device. Don't know how's the apps on Android. But they aren't cost-effective vs an actual lidar. Off-topic: Kwun Tong Line cut-and-cover stations may be exposed from aerial imagery (out-of-c...
72026-04-12 12:57commentedvectorial8192If no effective conclusion, then at least we can fix the station building size.
82026-04-12 13:04commentedkingkingHK"station building size" depends on "what is a station" building, which I still don't know. My plan for now is probably to indoor survey the station, make some drawings and send to Discord for someone else (might eventually be me) to deal with it.
92026-04-13 14:54commentedvectorial8192Well imo the size of the platform is the minimum possible size of the station building; ideally this is true no matter what definition you may be using. What may seem like "unused" underground space could then be used as MTR internal-use office. It still checks out.
102026-05-25 11:23commentedvectorial8192Tsuen Wan Line uses the standard 8-car MTR train, which has total length of approx 180m. Station expanded to 180m length with https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/183151725 . Seems nothing more to do; potentially closeable.
112026-05-25 11:42commentedkingkingHKMy original plan is to use this note to track my indoor mapping, which I haven't done yet. But your changeset is fine too. I have got a little bit of experience in indoor mapping after surveying Tin Wing LRT; I can try doing the same here soon.
122026-05-30 11:59commentedvectorial8192OK, leaving open, but imo doesn't seem too interesting here; e.g., road crossing need not enter the MTR station. Unsubscribing.

32026-03-12 08:17commentedvectorial8192Upon review via Overpass Turbo, there's a lot of this usage in Hong Kong. I may be onto something big: are all those usages redundant? How does this interact with e.g. OpenInfraMap?
42026-03-12 12:00commentedkingkingHKI wouldn't call 86 a lot. Also, most of them were added by the same few users (Xavier Fung and tommydragon). Not indicative of anything imo.

62026-04-05 07:26commentedkingkingHK...I can't notice how OpenInfraMap renders this differently than any other substations. May you provide more info?
72026-04-11 12:19commentedvectorial8192I have not really determined whether this tag positively influences rendering, or that OpenInfraMap already renders this feature due to power=substation.
82026-04-11 13:34commentedkingkingHKSeeing that it renders identically with other `power=substation`s, I'd say it does not influence render. I.e. useless tag.
92026-05-20 10:15commentedkingkingHKIf no further discussion I am inclined to simply remove all `substation=substation`.

32025-12-30 03:22commentedvectorial8192Indeed. 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.
42026-01-28 13:38commentedvectorial8192Wait, fixme was raised by Kovoschiz; discussion needed.
52026-02-05 17:04commentedKovoschizSomeone 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.
62026-03-05 12:39commentedkingkingHKWell, at least for Shing Mun River, `boat=no` should be wrong. We can remove it, alongside with the `fixme=`.

82026-05-25 10:41commentedvectorial8192No comments from me. I will only add that at extremely low tides it does become physically boat=no because this just transforms into a ditch (this is technically / structurally an extra wide ditch), but this doesn't happen every year and so the info does not sound like good candidate to be put into OSM as if regular occurrence.

22025-09-25 12:40commentedkingkingHKThis is more of a renderer discussion rather than an osm one, isn't it?
32025-09-26 06:56commentedKovoschizFor 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.
42025-09-26 06:57commentedKovoschiz(`bridge:part=` is not a good format either, as `bridge=` isn't a feature, unlike `building=` )
52025-09-26 07:37commentedKovoschiz3. The `start_date=` is difficult to define. In OHM, the object's existing status is used. In OSM, often the oldest applicable is used.
62025-09-26 07:39commentedKovoschiz4. Minor note: I didn't bother to draw the whole IEC western `=viaduct` , so doing this is also a lazy hack
72025-09-26 07:40commentedKovoschiz5. `ref=` is another factor that needs to be considered to define a `man_made=bridge` , aside from `name=` and `start_date=` (etc)

132026-05-20 10:22commentedkingkingHKTbh I don't really understand what this note is asking for / what can be done to resolve this note.
142026-05-21 12:26commentedvectorial8192One way out is to start a discussion at Discord, to confirm the tagging method for individual bridge joint parts. Then, we will know how to tag these, and then apply the new tagging, and then finish. private guess it's probably gonna be many nameless parts linked up with a "IEC highway" relation.
152026-05-24 05:44commentedkingkingHKActually, IEC is the name of the road, not of the bridge, which is nameless. Perhaps we can just remove the `name=`, which solves the "clumsy rendering" issue this note is complaining about, then at the very least this note can be closed.
162026-05-24 08:38commentedKovoschizThat's a good question. But I thought IEC is effectively the de facto naming of the structure at the same time.
172026-05-24 14:26commentedkingkingHKCitation needed. If you ask 10 people what "IEC" is 11 of them will think of the road, not the bridge.
182026-05-25 03:18commentedKovoschizIt's effectively identical here though? If I ask what's that bridge, they will still answer IEC.
192026-05-25 03:24commentedKovoschizI'm thinking of West Kowloon Corridor, where there are Stage II, and Stage III (Stage IV is folded into Stage I Gascoigne Rd Flyover) East Kowloon Corridor was East Kowloon Way translated into "East Kowloon Elevated Road"
202026-05-25 03:27commentedKovoschizSo I didn't think it must have a bridge-related generic suffix. Cf although Fat Kwong St Flyover is gazetted as the street's extension, it's basically carrying Fat Kwong St.
212026-05-25 06:08commentedkingkingHKLooking at named `man_made=bridge` in Hong Kong it appears that (almost) all the names are names of the bridge, with a bridge suffix, including bridge names that are not as well known as the road, where if you ask what's that bridge people are likely to answer the road name.

32026-04-21 12:17commentedkingkingHKNo slip roads; just a simple one-lane roundabout. And yeah, I guess you noticed that I really don't resolve notes very often, even for some of the more trivial ones. I just have too many things to do, both irl and in osm.

42026-04-22 06:03commentedvectorial8192Re "too many things", understandable. Re "change bus relation", my take is to limit the scope. If the relation is broken before we touch it, then we only need to ensure the part that we are editing (the segments at the roundabout) is not broken. We can have the generosity to also fix the entire relation (re "might as well") but again that's not a ...

92026-05-17 13:41commentedvectorial8192Re irl changes, not too surprising considering the current trend/direction of developing Kam Tin. This can be done in the "general stream", so to speak. (It seems unlikely I will contact the bus video owners for this.)

132026-05-20 06:50commentedvectorial8192To clarify, "general stream" is another term/topic that I am self-coining to understand OSM. Basically, it's the "every day mapping". Casual user clicks at e.g. StreetComplete. New building; draw it and done. Position slightly off; move it and done. It may not be fully correct but for most purposes it is passable. eg the exact coordinates may be a...

42026-04-26 13:16commentedvectorial8192The polygon seems to (aim to) describe some sort of neighbourhood rather than a specific development plot (e.g. Area XX).
52026-04-26 13:23commentedvectorial8192For reference, e.g. "Tin Shui Wai South" is currently an OSM quarter.
62026-04-26 13:31commentedvectorial8192By using the Nominatim Reverse Search ( https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/reverse.html ) I can see the addresses of this area is currently shown as "Tin Shui Wai North".

72026-05-04 15:17commentedvectorial8192No response; I'm doing it. If anything, individual plot numbers (e.g. TSW Area XX) can be added separately when good data sources are found. Seeing no real progress on the plot number mapping over the years, safe to say we do not need a todo polygon for tracking / reminder.

52026-01-18 16:50commentedvectorial8192Re Discord discussions, it seems that in general in OSM, we may not copy data from a database. The CEDD data is quite complete (every hill should have a height record there) and would count as a database, so we may not copy from it.
62026-01-19 02:25commentedkingkingHKFrom Discord discussion, the safest way would be to use out-of-copyright maps. Unfortunately, it seems like the maps from 1975 left this area as an uncontoured blank space simply labelled "Rock Outcrop".
72026-02-02 12:48commentedvectorial8192The government didn't care about Lantau Island until there was political need to build a new airport, which would mean that consideration and associated surveying happened in the 1980s. Worst case, by the 50-year rule, we would need to wait until 2035 or later to really find usable maps for this. I am unsubscribing from this note.
82026-02-02 13:16commentedkingkingHKUnfortunately, 819.8 m only started appearing in government maps from 1994, meaning we would need to wait until 2044. This note is virtually unactionable unless we somehow triangulate the elevation.
92026-04-25 06:22commentedkingkingHKWait. This note isn't asking us to copy from government maps. The only thing we have to do to close this note is to look at government maps, compare it to osm, and check that the two are the same. This cannot possibly be a copyright infringement because nothing is copied. @vectorial8192 what do you think? (Or have you unsubscribed already?)
102026-04-30 12:47commentedvectorial8192I was unsubscribed. (As we can see, pinging people here has no effect.) I haven't investigated this note/case in any effective detail, but I would think cross-checking maps may count as "using external maps to edit OSM". I will remain subscribed for a bit.
112026-04-30 13:36commentedkingkingHKYeah but, surely closing a note without making changesets doesn't count as "editing osm"? (Ok, now that I think of it, notes are part is the osm database...) Maybe I will ask more people elsewhere.

132026-04-30 16:50commentedKovoschizYou could have waited a while first. The best would be to pursuit the Crown Copyright, as especially the terrain is presumably produced by the colonial agency alone for itself.

152026-05-01 11:23commentedvectorial8192I recall closing an unrelated note at Kai Tak 1331. I closed it because we can't survey it (access=private), and we can't armchair it (YouTube is not a usable source). No pathway exists. Here, we may potentially survey this by triangulation (may be difficult), or armchair this by using appropriate maps. It's unclear whether we really have no pathw...
162026-05-01 11:24commentedKovoschizWhat I said should be it needs to be clarified by LWG. Contours should be fine, and especially survey spots .
172026-05-01 11:26commentedKovoschizStrangely colonies may be better. Only OS is not OGL, only Crown Copyright, thus 50 years.
182026-05-01 11:29commentedKovoschiz(I'm referring to the previous status, and historical works. The problem is printed maps contain other org's data.)
192026-05-01 12:39commentedkingkingHKThen, how may we get the LWG to clarify? Do we just email legal-questions@osmfoundation.org (email from wiki) and explain the situation? I really don't know anything about this.
202026-05-01 16:08commentedvectorial8192I don't know all the steps, but basically "after some time" the LWG will meet up and discuss questions, and then the results will be posted to somewhere at the Wiki or sth.

52026-02-05 14:21commentedvectorial8192Perhaps this is referring to https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11245354726 , which is not located here.
62026-02-06 02:55commentedkingkingHKWell, looking at nearby features, it seems like there are quite a lot of Japanese caves in this area. It is not unlikely to really have an unmapped one here.
72026-02-06 04:40commentedvectorial8192It is extremely unnatural to have multiple notes in different time frames share the exact same coordinates. One probable cause is the GPS collapsing everyone onto the same coordinates due to poor signals. I don't trust the locations of these (3) notes.

82026-02-06 08:56commentedkingkingHKMy guess: Notice that all three notes are made with maps.me, and one of them mentions "poi: landuse-forest". Using overpass to look at the osm data at the time, we see that the forest is https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4508992 , and the location of the three notes is roughly at the centre of the forest. My guess is that when maps.me creates...
92026-04-09 13:08commentedkingkingHKBy now, I/we have seen enough cases of maps.me placing notes at centroids of large polygons that this note can be safely assumed to be the same. A note without a (correct) location is practically unactionable; @vectorial8192 do you support closing this note?

52026-04-07 13:40commentedkingkingHKTbf the same argument ("while we are here, might as well also do it") can be used on any improvement as you said elsewhere; if we are not allowed to improve something while ignoring something else then we will never get anything done. I think the other concerns are already addressed in Discord in December? (#hongkong/maxspeed)
62026-04-08 03:24commentedvectorial8192Re "while we are here [...]", correct. Then, it doesn't need a note for tracking. Just do it. Re Discord discussions, it's so long ago I forgot the conclusion.

72026-04-08 10:12commentedkingkingHKThe conclusion of the Discord discussion is that adding `maxspeed=50` to roads without thinking is not a net detriment.

32026-04-02 08:06commentedvectorial8192Looking at the MTR website timetables, it can be inferred there is a (new) railway service from Mong Kok to Lok Ma Chau. This very likely replaces the (now discontinued) "Mong Kok to Lo Wu" service. This is documented as https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/20401317 .

4577980 (iD)12025-01-06 09:56openedvectorial8192Abandoned railway information is very debatable since it can no longer be observed IRL; it has been fully deconstructed (except for a tiny section as an abandoned railway bridge), and should be removed.
22025-01-08 08:08commentedKovoschizThis 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.
32025-01-08 12:09commentedvectorial8192The 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.
42025-10-06 02:14commentedHenryEKthe trackbeds are entirely gone. this was done around 1996 when reclaimation reformed tolo harbour front there is almost no sections of abandoned track still left untouched in hong kong
52025-10-06 02:16commentedHenryEKfrankly 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
62025-10-06 04:05commentedHenryEKi checked every former line of track i know, and theyre all present on the map as features despite not having any sort of indication of their former presence i dont know about you but you know maybe stuff that literally doesnt exist on the map should not exist on the map?
72025-10-06 05:14commentedKovoschiz`railway=abandoned` has a different meaning from `building=` + `abandoned=yes`
82025-10-06 05:47commentedvectorial8192I will only add that in OSM, there seems to exist a British-culture-inspired effort to treat railway features differently than other non-railway features.
92025-10-06 06:19commentedHenryEKbut u do understand what i mean right? i mean for the sha tau kok railway which was dismantled over 90 years ago, its still added onto the map theres like no trace of it besides a few milestones and a station

112025-10-06 15:00commentedkingkingHK@seurish Well, re Sha Tau Kok Railway, I would just like to point out that the addition was not without disagreements: see Kovoschiz's comment on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/145944753
122025-10-09 04:30commentedKovoschizRoads, paths, and embankments qualify. So both can be examined.
132025-10-12 06:16commentedHenryEKso its just gonna stay like this then?
142026-02-09 14:09commentedkingkingHK1. You can actually see an embankment right east of Cheung Tai Road. 2. Government copyrighted maps say the cuttings west of the bridge still follow the curve of the railway (which is different from Yau King Lane); we can easily do a survey to verify this. 3. If you toggle on older imagery from before the CUHK stuff were built (which is not too lon...
152026-02-23 09:54commentedkingkingHKIf no counter-argument in a few weeks I will be closing this note as "nothing to do here". I am also planning to delete Wo Hop Shek Branch as no traces remain, and change Sha Tau Kok Railway to `=abandoned` (but probably need to redraw it as it is glued to many still-existing features, which afaik is wrong).
162026-02-24 12:55commentedKovoschizI had planned to do Sha Tau Kok branch. Need to check what side of the road it's on.
172026-02-24 13:17commentedKovoschizGlued to roadway is wrong, as it's not on the road. But sidewalk is fine, if that's where it's really on.
182026-02-24 14:14commentedkingkingHKI had thought about sketching it from old maps/aerial imagery. But they are not clear enough to show which side of the road it is on.

202026-02-25 13:40commentedkingkingHKYes, but it also shows the railway being parallel to the road beyond Shek Chung Au, which is not true according to 1924 aerials and still-existing embankments, leading me to question its trust-worthiness.
212026-02-26 11:15commentedHenryEKI would suggest you just map the very obvious part (past Wong Hang Au) and leave the other part blank for the time being then. From what I can see in the aerials theres a tiny mark on the road where it looks like the route crosses but it could also just be coincidental

52026-02-15 12:21commentedkingkingHKIt looks integrated into the building enough that I can't tell where it starts/ends exactly, but it's mainly on the On Chuen Street side.
62026-03-14 09:51commentedvectorial8192Earlier I have received some info from @kingkingHK regarding this.

22026-03-27 08:50commentedkingkingHKHighly doubt it will be completed soon; I went there a few months ago and there were no visible buildings in the phase 2 area besides the PTI.
32026-03-27 16:15commentedvectorial8192That's the fun part. How come it is "nearly complete" when there is only a PTI in the middle of the construction yard? How would this PTI work (i.e. road entrance)? I really have no idea. But they say something may happen in April so we may monitor the situation. This can potentially be checked together with https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5208...
42026-03-28 09:36commentedkingkingHKDo you have any source to support that Phase 2 will be completed soon?
52026-03-31 15:04commentedvectorial8192e.g. see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1493103292 I don't have the energy to monitor this, but I will continue to listen to this. I simply do not understand how it can be considered "complete" when it's obvious that the land is still an early WIP. OSM data must be missing something, which I will wait for others to elaborate/explain.
62026-04-01 03:00commentedkingkingHKYes, the PTI building has been completed but the residential buildings aren't. This is not unbelievable; the PTI building should be quicker and easier to build, and should be open at the same time as Phase 1 so that the Phase 1 residents can use it. That's what aerial imagery and existing osm data shows.
72026-04-01 04:50commentedvectorial8192I should clarify myself. The key missing piece is the access roads towards this PTI building, because aerial imagery doesn't show this, and at first glance it's entirely plausible for the access to come from any of the four cardinal directions. Can't have access inside a construction area; then, how come there is access to this?
82026-04-01 14:15commentedkingkingHKCoincidentally someone made a changeset very recently: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/180695155 Does this resolve your concern about access roads?
92026-04-02 09:33closedvectorial8192Then that's good. At least now it's clear the access is at Long Tin Road. There may be issues for the "implementation details" of the PTI but that would just be part of the usual OSM workflow. Resolving.

22026-03-19 02:30commentedvectorial8192If you are referring to the square thing on satellite imagery, then it's probably just a roof.
