First off, let me welcome you to OSM. We desperately need more OSMers in Alaska and I was happy to notice some other stuff you have mapped. Hetting back to the question at hand:

There is some precedent for tagging the way you chose to do it but generally, if a highway doesn't have a divider, a grass strip or concrete barrier of some sort then it is not a dual carriageway. Google shows that section of the Richardson as a dual carriageway but I think that's incorrect.

I would tag it as lanes=5, lanes:forward=2, lanes:backward=2, turn:lanes:forward=left (or backward). The forward or backward refers to the direction the OSM way is drawn.

I do a ton of work in Alaska (I live in Homer during the summer, and Thailand in the winter), and it's good to see someone else working in the state I love.

If you want me to help change that section to use the lanes scenario, let me know and I will do that.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,
I'm interested in why you created a dual carriageway for the Richardson Hwy in Delta Junction. IIRC, it is not divided; the lanes are only separated by yellow lines.

Hi Jan,
Discussions of the tagging list are ongoing about how to tag slow vehicle turnouts. One suggestion was "smv" for slow moving vehicle". I think we've decided to use "slow_vehicle" as the tag. I will update this object once the decision is final. The thread is here:

Hi,
All I did was remove the name=Glenn Highway from the cycleway, it was plainly not correct. The original mapper was Jason Rowland and his edits had to do with making the path visible in an app he favors., See
Changeset: 61136373
Added cycle route along AK-1 to allow use of Kamoot. Kamoot does not allow cycle route to align with motorways - there are no other routes in this case, making Kamoot unusable in this region w/o a designated cycle path.

Be well...

It's actually worse than what you described - there is no amenity tag on either the area or the receptacles. I decided to simply leave it alone because I have no ground survey data to determine what that area actually is.
As for the history, maybe I moved the area slightly to better align it and that made it appear to be my work, I dunno.

58346486 almost 7 years ago

I found the area you're referring to at last but even though it appears that I did the tagging, I believe the history function is not working properly because I did not add that object originally. I know that because I would NEVER add that type of obviously created name and description on those receptacles even if they were placed on the nodes. I'm at a loss to explain why the history of that object has my name in it with 100% of it attributed to me (???)

I removed the tags from the area and placed them on three nodes to represent the three receptacles visible in the imagery.

I cannot find any amenity=waste_basket tags in Eugene that are not a simple node. Can you be more specific?
In the future, please feel free to correct any obvious errors, like this one, if you encounter them.

Fixed it. The tag was meant for the food shop nearby.
Thx.

Got it, extra tags removed. Thanks!

Thank you for the note. I forgot to clean up the original tags and left some extra tags on one section. I removed those. But I don't see any "overlap" with previously mapped rivers. Can you explain more fully what you mean?

After doing some more checking, I learned that the smaller, older boundary multipolygon is incomplete. A large section is missing. If you have no objection, I will delete it and simplify the boundary you added last year.

50322539 over 7 years ago

You added a 1500 node boundary for Emdendorf AFB in Alaska but failed to remove the pre-existing 100 node boundary that was added in 2013.

I have two questions: Was that merely an oversight? And, is a 1500 node boundary really necessary to delineate this AFB?

It certainly seems to me that many redundant nodes could be removed from your NHD data without affecting the boundary for the purposes of OSM. But the bigger question is, can you revisit this object and clear up the double boundary in some fashion?

Many thanks.

I checked Google, and it gives Den Ha Dong Mada Road as the name. Thai street names are notoriously hard to map properly because signs bearing the name are rare. Many times the name is just a best guess and might be based on one road sign many km distant.

55399627 over 7 years ago

Somehow, portions of 1211 including this one, got renamed Den Ha (1211). Mapper did not give source. I renamed it to what it was previously, Sunwichai Road, which is a translation of the Thai name tag.

Thank you,
I checked the Wikipedia article and, assuming it has the correct coordinates, I added a name tag and some others to the invisible island. Those coords, by the way, were slightly displaced from the island but I left it located where you had it.

Also changed the name of the heliport to match the name of the island. It had been tagged Seal Island Heliport.

Hi,
You used an existing wood multipolygon as the boundary for the Tham Patham National Park. Can you tell my where you obtained the boundary information? I want to alter the wood multipolygon but do not want to affect the boundary if it is accurate.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi timdine,

I am looking at some structures (a radio tower at 70.4914528, -148.6994692 for example) you placed on an "island" in the Beaufort Sea near Prudhoe Bay. However, none of the imagery I used shows any island or any structures. Can you tell me where your data for this place came from?

You added a service road and bridge id:535046356 in Lamphun province. I recently drove through that area and there is no bridge, only a small service road. There is construction nearby but from my recall, no reason for a bridge there.

Ordinarily, I would agree with you. I came across Shea's description through a newspaper article I read that mentioned Stray Dog West. When I searched for it on OSM, nothing came up and I wanted to at least put a findable entry into Nominatum. The uncertainty of the position is why I added the fixme tag.

I will remove it if you insist but would prefer to leave it there until future imagery allows better placement.

@erkinalp, I'm not sure that would be strictly correct either. But, in any case, the better imagery resolved this particular issue. I'll be visiting the area next summer and I'll do bit of field work then.
