I assumed you began the process of splitting the road into two as it has become divided, but probably was distracted before you got to finish it.

I think I've got it right now, but if you see any mistakes of my own, feel free to fix it :)

I was wondering why 1317 has been so deserted for almost a year now, and then I found that it was made into a one-way street about 8 months ago.

Though it is great for reducing traffic on the road as nobody from the city will be routed out this way, I think we might want to fix that.

There have also been a lot of recent development on the road, I'll see if I can get it fixed.
I'll see if I can fix it so we can get traffic flowing again on this road.

Is this park real?

Are any of these parks real?

127865108 about 2 years ago

I see you've added a lot of parks in areas that look very residential.

What is your source for these parks?

The list above works fine.

Looking at these, I am pretty sure "shop=internet" are supposed to be "amenity=internet_cafe" as you suggested. I do not know how many of these are still around though.

Good question, I don't remember. Checking my photos, I no longer think this is here, whatever it was. I'll remove it.

Hi Ricky, my edits are more than a decade old. It was all mapped from aerial imagery and I have little local knowledge of the area. Feel free to make any improvements you feel like.

Unless your organization requires that you put in changeset comments, you are welcome to skip them when you are making changes to my edits.

Thanks for further improving the map!

No problem, feel free to fix my mistakes.

Hi NattamonOn,

I don't think dividers should be applied to nodes, but rather ways.

The wiki also indicates ways only:
osm.wiki/Key:divider

What is the idea behind divider=median on a node?

Hi Fred,

Yes, I think I remember what happened here. But this is all from memory, so I could be wrong.

I manually created a new outer relation on a way (area). Then I selected some areas inside and used the toolbox to create the inner relations.

Without realizing it, Potlatch had now create a new outer relation on the outer area, and I ended up messing up all the inner relations as some went with the newly created one and some went with the relation I had manually created.

After some editing I realized that I was working with two different relations and went back to remove the relation create by the toolbox. The 14320773 relation you are talking about.

Besides the fact that it was unexpectedly created alongside my manually created relation, I'm not sure what might have caused the bug.

Feel free to ask further questions if my description above is unclear or doesn't answer your question.

Thanks, that was indeed a typo. They should all be fixed now.

Yes, that should have been lit=yes

Thank you for a very respectful answer.

I have never been to Jersey myself, but I have many connections there. One of my connections lives in the area I modified, and my tagging is based on what he have told me.

It was very difficult to align the imagery, and my additions are not based on the same alignment (yikes).

Houses are added straight from the Bing alignment as I couldn't find better alignment, and I don't trust the current roads to be aligned.

When adding roads or messing with their geometry I first aligned the imagery with the existing roads. This is to move existing roads as little as possible, and still have the added geometry make sense.

I'm hoping to send someone out with a GPS later this week, and see if I can get enough traces to actually align the imagery correctly.

Also, I agree that access=destination is probably better.

I think lit=yes can be mapped based on Mapillary if there are street lights. But maybe there could be cases where the street lights are no longer in use. I'd be happy to stay away from tagging that.

I'm sure I missed commenting on a lot of things, but I have someone impatiently waiting for me to finish this comment so we can go.

Anyway, thanks for some really good feedback.

Tracing from Bing does seem like a decent description to me, maybe I am wrong.

I mean I could add more details, like:
* Extended road that was longer on Bing
* Removed nodes from straight roads
* Adjusted curves on roads that didn't seem to conform to Bing's imagery
* Added a houses based on Bing imagery

Compared to reading the changeset, does it add enough value to be worth the trouble?

I suppose I could break every edit down into its own changeset, but that seems a bit excessive.

116820265 over 3 years ago

The sources I've used are Mapillary, Bing and some local knowledge.

But thanks for questioning this, as I still have some doubts about some of the tagging.

The areas I upgraded are residential areas, with multiple residents along the road and real road names.

Some of them seems to be normal public residential roads (Clos du Verger) and others are in private residential areas.

The ones in private residential areas are the ones I am less familiar with, and probably also the ones that got you to raise this question, I assume.

My understanding is that these should be tagged something like:

highway=residential
access=private
ownership=private

Having them tagged as service with no additional tags, doesn't seem correct to me as service roads to me means something that accesses a single house, a business, parking lots, parks, service installations (like towers).

The wiki definition seems to indicate the same:
"Generally for access to a building, service station, beach, campsite, industrial estate, business park, etc. This is also commonly used for access to parking, driveways, and alleys."

Can I ask instead why you think these should be service roads? I'm asking so I can learn other perspectives, I'm not looking for a fight :)

The road is a great 2 lane asphalt road, but there is a barrier from where I entered that only allows pedestrians in, no motorcycles or cars.

I called it unclassified because I don't know if the barrier is permanent, or only during smoky season, and all other roads behind it were unclassified as well.

That said, I just realized that cars and motorbikes may be able to enter from another point, and have just removed that access tags and added the barrier instead.

I'm pretty sure it is.
