Hi,

Please try to break up your changesets so that they're smaller and more targeted. For example, one changeset could be for settings surface tags, while another could be for setting maxspeeds. Or, if you want to do a general purpose changeset like this one, please try to contain it to a smaller area than this, so it's easier to review.

Thanks for the updates!

Is it standard for the "operator" key to be used for the name that accompanies the reporting mark? "Metro-North Railroad" is more commonly used to refer to the railroad.

Hi, and thanks for joining OSM!

Overall, this is a good edit. There's lots of stores that need to be added to the map.

There are a couple things I had to fix:
- It looks like you deleted a couple address points. These points are important, as they help people look up where an address is.
- It looks like you set a whole building to be named "Fratelli's Trattoria", though it includes other businesses too (e.g. the Black Cow).
- When entering the name of a place, the rule of thumb is to enter it exactly as the place displays it. As such, I changed the name you added from "10520 Burgers" to "105 Twenty Bar and Grill", as that is how they name themselves.

That aside, thanks for the good work! For every store you map, we get a little closer to being a viable alternative to some bigger map apps, when it comes to finding stores. OSM is relatively weak in comparison for this specific use.

Please see osm.org/changeset/126631410 for the changeset in which this was reverted.

Unfortunately I've had to revert this; see osm.org/changeset/126066951

Hi,

Unfortunately, I've had to revert this changeset. Highway classifications in New York now follow the ACC codes provided by NYSDOT. The code for this road would make it highway=trunk.

highway=trunk (in this region, at least) no longer is used to denote that a road is limited-access, or higher performance in any way. highway=motorway and highway=trunk together form a network of the most important roads, suitable for long distance travel. highway=motorway on top of that implies that it is a controlled-access road.

If you wish to convey that a road is an "expressway" (high performance, but still some intersections, stop lights, etc.), please use the expressway=yes tag.

Sorry again that I had to revert this, but the new classification system has many benefits, and the state is more unified than it has been before.

Thanks for your understanding,

-John

Hi again,

Just commented on one of your other changesets. Again, I unfortunately had to revert parts of this changeset. I doubt that any speed limit signs would apply to the parking lots here, so I've removed the maxspeed tag from the ways within them. I've retained the speed limits on the more prominent roads here, though.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hi,

Thanks for contributing to OSM. I appreciate that you separated out each of your modifications to different changesets, it helps immensely with reviewing them.

In the case of this changeset, I've had to revert part of it. Most of the roads that you marked as tertiary don't meet the requirements for this tag. I did make one exception to the revert, that being Service Center Road between Audubon Parkway and Flint Road. It does serve as a bit more of a connector, so I've tagged it as unclassified. This is similar to tertiary, but for roads that are less important. Flint Road is tertiary, and you'd likely agree that Service Center Road is less important than it. Thus, the unclassified tag makes sense here.

Sorry to have to revert some of your work here, but if you want to keep mapping, feel free to ask me for advice! I'd be happy to help.

Hi,

Why did you remove the `source:population` tag? What's the source for your new data?

Reverted in osm.org/changeset/125834870 . Please map in accordance with the NYS Classification Guidelines, which would make this part of NY-5S highway=primary with expressway=yes.

Reverted in osm.org/changeset/125827988 . Again, local consensus has a higher standard for what can be considered as highway=motorway. This road's limited-access characteristics are conveyed in the expressway=yes tag that is already on it.

Additionally, these roads were already tagged with expressway=yes, which is used to denote their limited access characteristics.

This changeset has been reverted, as the roads do not meet the local requirements for highway=motorway. See osm.org/changeset/125827791

Hi,

You mapped a traffic signal on the subway line beneath the street. Please be careful with what you're mapping.
