In context of overlay "Bike paths" – Rainier Avenue South (Primary Road) – https://osm.org/way/427900950 via StreetComplete 58.2: Shared bus/bike lane Attached photo(s): https://westnordost.de/p/239025.jpg

this needs an update. I have heard that this is no longer the case.

I believe it still is. The recent change was the addition of the bus lines (w/ bikes allowed) on Rainier *north* of Rainier/MLK intersection--AFAIK this segment of Rainier has been signed like this for several years now. This note is on my radar but I haven't been down to this area to survey for a while. I think I got the lanes updated Rainier from MLK through I-90, but everything's messed up south of MLK.

Yes, can confirm a bus/bike-only lane starts here, south of Oregon.

I just checked today in-person and I can confirm what's listed on this map (https://www.seattle.gov/documents/Departments/SDOT/TransitProgram/Rainier%20Ave%20S%20Bus-Only%20Lane/Rainier_Transit_Map.pdf) reflects the current on-the-ground status. I have already updated Rainier Avenue South to include cycleways and bus lanes from S Edmunds St to MLK Jr Way S. Would appreciate a quick look from a experienced mapper (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/177915190). On a related note, it looks like someone has already updated portions of Rainier north of MLK. However the current tagging for cycleways is on both sides. I know there isn't a bike/bus lane on the west side, but haven't touched this part in case I am misunderstanding the tagging.

On southbound Rainier, there is a bus lane starting around Lowe's. I think I got that, but feel free to open a note if I messed up a spot somewhere (did I forget to namespace it to *:forwards=* for example?)

To clarify, these ones are bike lockers, not racks. Like the ones visible in the distance on the left of your photo, big metal boxes with (probably) BikeLink branding. Is that box removed?

yes. there should be a way across the road, then a node everywhere it intersects. So two nodes and one way. Looks like it is mapped that way
62025-10-09 23:00commentedpwbriggs
♦449
Oh, so StreetComplete is asking twice because the two directions of the road are mapped separately going into the roundabout. I think you can just respond with the same answers twice, not sure if there's a better way to map this here.
72025-10-10 08:39commentedS_Akash
♦88
Thanks pwbriggs. Thoughts on deleting one of the crossing elements and moving the other one to just outside the roundabout? That would reflect the actual condition here better (https://streetcomplete.app/p/302345.jpg)?
82025-10-11 04:14closedS_Akash
♦88
Oh nvm. I realize now that would be moving the cross-walk outside its real-world location. Closing this note.

Oh I see, that was the bridge StreetComplete was referring to. For some reason, it kept referring to a bridge further west and it had me confused. There is, but there is height limit posted anywhere. I may take a tape measurer and determine height that way.

"Can we add "A2" (the code for this exit) to the name?" OSM snapshot date: 2025-08-04T05:22:58Z POI name: 5th Avenue POI types: wheelchair-yes railway-subway_entrance #CoMaps android
22025-08-25 16:43commentedpwbriggs
♦449
A2 is already tagged as a ref. I don't think it belongs in the name (IIRC signage in the station treats the name of the exit as 5ht Ave, and uses the A2 code only in symbol squares), though I'm not an expert. That said, the elevator for exit A1 across the street (https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3397455479) is not tagged with a name (although the escalator version, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2778547428, is name='d) My general feeling is that this is something that should be addressed by the renderer. CoMaps isn't always super great about displaying helpful info (I wish it would show way more tags--such as the ref--in the POI details screen, for example)
32025-08-25 16:44commentedpwbriggs
♦449
Do make sure you get a second opinion on this though! These are just my feelings.
42025-08-26 04:19closedS_Akash
♦88
Ah I see what you mean now that I am viewing through the OSM website. There's indeed signage in the station indicating the exit as 'A2' but I agree it doesn't belong in the name considering we have a reference tag. Thanks!

Unable to answer "Does this crosswalk have tactile paving on both ends?" – Traffic Signals – https://osm.org/node/53209659 via StreetComplete 61.2: I believe this crosswalk was added by mistake since it's in the middle of the intersection? There's no four-way crossing here (confirmed in-person by me).
22025-08-18 06:00commentedpwbriggs
♦449
Huh. I don't know exactly why StreetComplete thought that's a pedestrian crossing. However, I did see an extra button_operated=yes tag on the roadway intersection (usually it's applied to pedestrian crossings). I removed that tag, can you check if that removed the incorrect quest?
32025-08-25 01:59commentedS_Akash
♦88
Thanks! Yes it did.
42025-08-25 16:53closedpwbriggs
♦449
Huh. Not sure why StreetComplete was detecting that as a crosswalk, but there's probably some historical reason (like button_operated was used on traffic signals to indicate presence of a (button-operated) crosswalk??) Anyways, glad to hear it worked. Happy mapping!
