I changed it because highway=busway isn't rendered on the maps, so I took guidance from here: osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dbusway

Whilst I do understand that not everybody is a fan of "smoothness", there are those of us who are. The rules are open to interpretation on this, so with respect, I will stick to my interpretation and preference.

Thanks

Hmm, not sure how that happened, but not sure how to fix it.

I disagree; it makes perfect sense to me. I am making it the 'Higher of the two. It's not part of Gladstone nor Jones, so as it is within the Highway's lanes, it is part of the highway, just as a crossover without intersecting roads is, but is not a link.

Just an added comment, if Jones Road were a tertiary road, with Gladstone Road being a secondary road, what class of road should be used for the crossover?

165313043 3 months ago

That's not how I see it. As the crossover between the two directions of the Princes Highway is neither Gladstone Road nor Jones Road, it is simply a crossover of the Princes Highway, which is a Trunk Road. If there is a crossover between the two directions of a divided road where there are no intersecting roads, the crossover is considered a part of the divided road as it is within the two lanes.

Fair enough, it could be just a service road but it's definitely not simply a parking aisle.

I believe it still has that name even though cars cannot still drive on it. This is not unusual. Do you know it the name has been revoked?

Boundary Road was its name before the new alignment of Boundary Road was done and it is more than simply a track but more like a laneway, so I might tag it as an alley.

My mistake. Corrected.

I wasn't using Google/Street view to do the mapping, just to cross-check.

I was cross-checking Bing with Esri (which is usually more recent), and Mapbox, along with Google and street view. If it has changed since all of these I couldn't find it. Apologies if I'm wrong.

That's just the way I've always done it and is consistent with many others.

Hi, my mistake. I knew the town didn't have the "u" so I assumed the railway station didn't as well. I will fix.

Perhaps. I don't have a strong preference for one or the other.

The name of a location, street, etc. can't and shouldn't be determined by "community consensus" (how is this determined anyway? Has there been a survey of the local community?) unless that community consensus has been successful in convincing the legislators or officials who make rulings on such things and then only once such decisions have gone through the proper channels, in this case, if a change from Wattleglen to Wattle Glen has been gazetted. It matters not what the operators might think, but what the official rulings are.

Hi.
First of all, the option for mapping razed railways exists on OpenStreetMaps; if this shouldn't be done, the option shouldn't be there in the first place. But it is there, so can be mapped.
Secondly, many such closed and razed tramlines are mapped in European cities, so why not here?
Thirdly, the mapping of disused, abandoned and razed railways and tramways is a resource for people interested in them and is depicted as an overlay in OpenRailwayMaps, but is not depicted in OpenStreetMaps and therefore does not add any confusion to people only utilising OpenStreetMaps.
As for the sources, there is plenty of data available for the former tram routes which I have used as well as my own personal knowledge of when they were still open.
I hope this helps. Regards, Supt.

My apologies. I thought it was reopened again. My mistake. I will revert it.

I don't get it Diacritic! I got rid of ways where there were no physical separations and you've put more in, even more than before my edit.
