I spent some time with Salmon Brook and its tributaries. It did look like the polygons downstream of Main Street hadn't been touched much since the NHD import, so now those are much better. Unfortunately I couldn't find any resource that might reveal the exact path of the culvert under Main Street. I did remove a few points underneath the new park because curved culverts are not very common, so I think it's more likely that it's a bunch of ~25 yd pipes with angled joins. But otherwise the path you drew seems perfectly reasonable. Feel free to adjust the polygons of course as you map. Trying to define the edge of a river like this is always fuzzy since it varies so much over time. There's even a new island in the river that isn't in the oldest imagery.

Hi,
I reviewed your edit and decided to revert and improve upon it. I did confirm that Cilley Road is a private, discontinued road and not a public right-of-way. However, OpenStreetMap includes private ways as well, so long as they actually exist. From the various aerial imagery, it's clear that the old Cilley Road way is still used (and it must be kept somewhat usable to access the properties along it). There's even signs of use in the swamp. So I tagged the road with access=private, which means that the road is only open to landowners and invited guests (which is the most closed off a road like this can get given the state's property access rules). I also decided to move the name of the road to the old_name key.

Thank you for your contributions.

I went through and checked all of the changesets from last night. Looks great! And thank you for helping with classifications in places that user Peter Dobratz never got to, like down by Rivier.

Hi,
Mammoth Road is not in any way shape or form a service road. Please see osm.wiki/Highways for more information. You also deleted a sidewalk a few edits ago. Sidewalks are mapped in OpenStreetMap. Please be careful about your edits and make sure they are well researched, well tagged, and accurate.

Hi,
I changed the Heron Point Sanctuary access road back to service because it's just the road leading to the parking lot. Please see osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice and osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dunclassified for more information.

Thank you for finally responding! I went through a few days ago and changed most of them back, but there are a few left that I haven't gotten to yet, especially in the millyard area.

Deleting other people's work (that's valid and with proper tags) isn't great. It was an Amazon Logistics added driveway, and they actually added it back in the intervening weeks, so they must have really wanted it.

As for the idea of "if you draw one driveway, don't you then have to draw all the driveways", that's one of those things where it's helpful to remember that the database is a community project, and that everything doesn't have to be done all at once. You like to align roadways, and that's great. I like to map waterways and do TIGER clean-up, and that's great. There's a mapper in the Upper Valley who does go around mapping every driveway in neighborhoods, and that's great. Eventually, a mapper who likes adding driveways will come to Nashua and fill in the gaps :)

That sounds perfectly reasonable. Thank you for the explanation!

Hi,
I'm confused about this edit. US 6 has two lanes in each direction, is divided, 65 mph, and has controlled access. Seems like a slam-dunk case for a highway=motorway?

Hi,
I reviewed this edit and the other edit you marked for review. Just so you know, at intersections where some ways stop and others do not, it is easiest to put the stop sign node where the cars are supposed to stop and add a direction. You can see how I did it here: osm.org/node/204794294, and osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dstop#Tagging_minor_road_stops for reference.

Thank you for your contributions!

Diesel Road is clearly not residential. Please refer to osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dunclassified for more information.

I asked in the OSMUS Slack (which you're welcome to join of course), and was pointed to the tourism=apartment tag (osm.wiki/Tag:tourism%3Dapartment), which is perfect for this business IMO. I'll go ahead and adjust it.

It's definitely best practice to not add tags that don't have a meaning. iD pulls in the most commonly used values to suggest, which creates a feedback loop of when an undefined term starts becoming popular. It probably should have a meaning, but there isn't one yet.

Do you know much about this place? I was looking at the website, and I don't think it should even get the leisure=resort tag. There aren't any amenities beyond the normal things hotels offer. The park next door can't count because that's a public park. Am I missing something? The documentation for resort for reference: osm.wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dresort

Thank you for your response! I'll fix the access tags on it to make sure that pedestrian and cycling routers know what to think of it. Happy mapping :)

Hello,
Can you please help me understand why you keep changing properly-tagged roads to highway=residential in Nashua?

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Do you know much about this bridge? The last document I could find online said that the NHDOT would be salvaging the old bridge and the town would be building a new one. Is that process complete?

Hi,
Can you please document how you are using this tag in the Wiki? This tag has 311 uses, but it is not documented anywhere.

Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap! I reviewed your edits and think their good. Just so you know, if you want to add the subdivision's name to the map, in the online editor you can draw an area around the subdivision and choose the "Residential Area" preset.

Thank you for your contribution!

Welcome to OpenStreetMap!
In this edit, did you mean to say that bicycles, horses, and other users aren't allowed on this trail? If so, the bicycle and horse tags should be set to `no`. In the online editor, you can do this by selecting the way, and, in the "Allowed Access" area, set bicycles and horses to "no".

We prefer the "Path" preset over "Footway" for hiking trails, as stated in osm.wiki/Hiking#Tagging_ways.2C_points_and_areas.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap,
I removed the primary road that you added on top of existing highways and changed the Upper Miller Creek Road in Emery County to a minor road. The primary road through Castle Country is UT 10.
