Hi there. Do you have any suggestions about how to properly model intersections like these in Cairo? Mapillary street level imagery is showing that there is a barrier preventing traffic from moving in the roundabout junction here.

Hi there, I see that there’s some new highway geometry in this area. Do you know if the roads are actually open here, or should they be given a construction tag? Especially in this area: osm.org/#map=15/29.9727/31.6863
I couldn’t find any conclusive evidence from internet research. Thanks!

Hi sergeydolya, I noticed you were adding a lot of helpful information to roads in Namibia about overall condition. Some of the roads you updated were upgraded from unclassified or service to secondary and primary. Could you explain your reasoning for this? Generally those classifications are used for roads that function as more major routes in a country or routes that are leading from one destination to another. Some guidelines for highway classifications can be found at Highway Tag Africa.
Also, remember that you don't have to fill out every single tag. For example, you should only fill out things like horse= and bicycle= if it's the law that those things aren't allowed on that specific road.

Hi, thanks for mapping, it looks like you changed way osm.org/way/655655573 to be very inaccurate, do you have a source for that?

Hi, is this data with source=smec from a company?

Hi, thanks for mapping! Please don't map large areas as one building - the building tag should just be one separate building. For example, osm.org/way/573560285 , osm.org/way/573263048 and osm.org/way/573560308

Thanks, will do!

For example osm.org/way/406805796

Hi magma18, thanks for adding street names in Sunyani! When you add or change a street name on one side of a divided highway like on way 406805796, can you also add it to the the other side (way 406805798) to make the data more consistent?

Hi Diogenes, did you mean to add oneway=yes to way 655100073? Imagery shows cars driving both directions.

Hi, make sure not to name buildings -- the name is the official name of the thing, not a description. If you want to add something like "uncompleted building" I'd suggest you use the description or note field.

Hi, thanks for mapping. For rural roads it is better to use the track classification. Only the most important roads in the country should be classified as trunk: osm.wiki/Key:highway

It's been fixed but if you have any other questions let me know or ask whoever is running your mapping event. Thanks.

Thanks for mapping. When mapping land uses, please make sure to map the features as one continuous feature, not little squares of each type. The land use doesn't end at the end of the square. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

Hi Sherman82, welcome to OSM. The buildings you added do not qualify as approved OSM features since they are temporary (please see good practices: osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features). For additional information on how to get started, there is a great guide here: osm.wiki/Beginners'_guide

I have deleted these exposition booths.

Thanks

Hi there, it looks like you divided some roads in Singapore into separate ways for each direction, do you have a source for that? Gul Way was fixed here, but looking at imagery they look combined to me and the policy generally says they shouldn't be divided unless there is a physical barrier: osm.wiki/Editing_Standards_and_Conventions#Divided_highways
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks! Andrew

Thanks for mapping! In this case it looks like you dragged a node by mistake, see here how the road moved: https://osmcha.mapbox.com/changesets/62163134/?filters=%7B%22date__gte%22:%5B%7B%22label%22:%22%22,%22value%22:%22%22%7D%5D,%22users%22:%5B%7B%22label%22:%22NURU%20ATHUMANI%22,%22value%22:%22NURU%20ATHUMANI%22%7D%5D,%22is_suspect%22:%5B%7B%22label%22:%22Yes%22,%22value%22:%22True%22%7D%5D%7D

Hi there, it looks like you were using Bing imagery and deleted a lot of roads that exist -- in this case ESRI and Digital Globe Standard imagery are both newer than Bing imagery. See in this area for example, here are new paved roads on ESRI imagery: osm.org/edit#map=17/15.54501/32.65244

way 624455846, way 624783564, way 624455849 are all other roads that exist. Let me know if you'd like me to fix it. Thanks.

Hi, it looks like you've mapped some things that don't exist. OpenStreetMap is only for real features, if you'd like to add pretend features please use another website. If you'd like to map real features, please check out osm.org/welcome
