Hello Totor. I'm sorry to hear about this unfortunate change in the local bike infrastructure.

If there are sharrow markings on the road, then cycleway=shared_lane is appropriate.

Otherwisee, a bicycle=yes on the highway element is probably more appropriate.

I definitely agree. Your comment is noted!

Thank you for improving OpenStreetMap, by adding street names. That's very helpful!

Hello @mejnelumba. Thank you for edits, and helping improve the map. And welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Your mapping goals are laudable, but OSM is keen to protect your private information. Read up more on osm.org/wiki/Limitations_on_mapping_private_information

You should be able to search for an address, like "31 Narra Drive, Cainta, Rizal" using OpenStreetMap, or third-party apps, without disclosing personal, or private information.

Examples are here: https://imgur.com/pVXfszC

Thanks for heads-up!

Advanced Stop Lines are desirable, of course, but many of these points you added are not supported by any current imagery.

ASLs are marked/painted areas, in addition to traffic signages. For more information, see osm.org/wiki/Tag:cycleway%3Dasl

Please don't add aspirational elements on the map.

Hi Jeff! Glad to see you still contributing to OSM -- with OSMand, too!

Kamusta? I hope all you folks are doing well.

These edits are awesome! Thank you for sharing your local knowledge thru OpenStreetMap.

Thank you for completing the address. The building "name" should not replicate the address information.

The address information is enough to make the feature searchable, and ensure your privacy.

For example:

You should be able to do the same for third-party apps that uses OSM data (e.g. FB, Grab, Strava, etc.)

Thank you for helping improve the map!

You can also try adding the street names in the neighbourhood, and other nearby POIs.

Good catch! Thank you.

Hello @Justin_new. Welcome to OSM.

You seem to have inadvertently added natural=water +water=lake to the Heart of Jesus Hospital.

Do you need any help fixing it, or can you that yourself?

As you may know, OpenStreetMap is widely used by many other users, some for emergency services and response, so we try to make sure that the data we contribute is as good as possible for everyone.

Hello @Rjay Vicente. Welcome to OSM.

What is Tampei, and can you say anything more about this field project?

That sounds great @ xChAoSx. Thanks for sharing the links - they didn't come up when I tried to search for *recent* news.

Looks like they've been in the pipeline for so long.

If you couldn't wait for imagery updates, you might want to consider collecting them yourself, using Mapillary or KartaView. Even GNSS track logs might be useful

Hello @xChAosx. Kamusta?

I'm curious about this cycleway tag update you did. Is it really a cycleway (a highway purposely built for people on bikes), or a multi-use path, where cycling is allowed?

If it's the latter, it's probably better tagged as highway=path + foot=yes + bicycle=yes

This caught my interest because if this is a real cycleway, it would have been in the news, but I couldn't find any reports about it.

Sorry for the broken link, the correct URL is: osm.wiki/Names#Abbreviation_(don't_do_it)

Hello @gps_tracker.

Thank you for helping improve the map. I noticed that you're using abbreviations in the street names (i.e., "St." instead of "Street").

According to the OSM wiki, the convention is, [not to abbreviate](osm.org/wiki/Names#Abbreviation_(don't_do_it))

A map layer may render the appropriate abbreviation when necessary, but the underlying data should be spelled in full.

Among other things, this also ensures that other data users can avoid contextual errors. (e.g. pronouncing "street" where "saint", or "drive" instead of "doctor").

Looks good! Thanks.

Hi @RHLDSTUDIOS. That's an interesting edit. Do you mind saying what you're trying to do the traffic barrier element?

Hello @Apiong! This is awesome! Thank you for helping improve the OSM map.

I improved some of the edits you made to reflect what it represents on the map. If you want to make this more relevant for others, you can add missing elements, or add missing names of roads or nearby places.

Daghang salamat!
