Hi,
Thanks for adding this road name! However, please note that we don't abbreviate road names in OpenStreetMap:
osm.wiki/abbreviation

For example, this should be named 'Sunnyhill Lane' instead of 'Sunnyhill Ln'

Hi,
Are you sure Heritage House Inn occupies this whole area? From imagery it looks like this area has around 3-4 different properties.

I would also remove the building tags, these are only used for building outlines:
osm.wiki/Key:building

Looking at your username, it looks like you might be working for Zartico. If so, please link osm.wiki/Zartico on your profile to comply with https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thanks for updating this street name. In the future, please note that we don't use abbreviations for street names in OSM (osm.wiki/abbreviation). It looks like someone already changed it to 'Northeast Jeffries Court'

Thanks for the fix! I would also unabbreviate the 'S' to 'South'

Thanks for fixing this! However, this is just one of thousands of abbreviated road names you've mapped. I've created a MapRoulette challenge that contain all of these (https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/26014) to make these easier to spot. I encourage you to help fix all of these.

@J"W"H Sorry, I misunderstood your changeset comment - I thought you removed it soley on it being private. It's getting pretty late so I'll remove it tomorrow morning.

@indrora I see what you're saying, however I do see some value in mapping the driveway found in the first example to prevent some routing issues. Some routers may route to Natalie or Samantha as those roads are closer to the house than Cornelius Pass.

Amazon has been mapping similar driveways in the area like (osm.org/way/703803247) to help with deliveries. The driveway in the first example likely wasn't mapped yet as drivers may not have delivered to that house.

also added expressway tags

Quick tip: when selecting a building, you can press 'q' to square the corners of the building

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! In the future, please use more descriptive changeset comments - 'm' does not help other mappers understand what you are doing. In this case 'Added path' would've been sufficient.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! In OSM, we map anything that is on the ground, regardless if it's open to the public or not: osm.wiki/on_the_ground_principle

For private driveways like this one, we have access tags to indicate who's allowed to use roads, paths and other features (osm.wiki/access). When selecting roads/paths in the editor, you can select their appropriate access tags under the 'Allowed access' field. I've undeleted this and added an 'access=private' tag.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap! US Bancorp Tower already exists as osm.org/way/404847978. Since the tower itself isn't a bank, I've removed this and added 'Big Pink' as the loc_name (local name)

118409574 over 3 years ago

Hi,
Thanks for updating this area. If this unit (osm.org/way/120260639) is vacant, this should be tagged as shop=vacant without a name instead of a restaurant named 'vacant' so that this won't be misunderstood as a restaurant named 'vacant'. You can change the tags by scrolling down the Edit feature menu after selecting it. If you have any questions or need any help with this, feel free to reply

Hi,
Please note that we don't abbreviate street names in OSM, see:
osm.wiki/abbreviation

For example, 'Evington Ln' should be 'Evington Lane'

Thanks for catching this! I've fixed the spelling for WES here so it won't suggest to change it back:

117832499 over 3 years ago

Thanks for pointing this out. Looking back at this, you're right: the northern section doesn't look like an expressway. I've removed the expressway tags right once it turns into a single carriageway in Lynden.

'Wide shoulders' should not be mapped as a foot path. If this road allows foot traffic, please add the proper access tags by selecting the road segment and clicking on the appropriate 'Foot' access tag under the 'Allowed Access' field

113305324 over 3 years ago

Yeah, you're right it does look like discouraged access should only be used for places that are signed. Thanks for adding the shoulder tags to the appropriate sections.

113305324 over 3 years ago

I think in this case bicycle=discouraged (https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/bicycle=discouraged) would be the appropriate tag to use since bicycles aren't legally prohibited but can be dangerous without a shoulder.
