Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
When you set tiger:reviewed to yes in your edits, please make sure that you have changed the highway tag to the correct designation. The import made a lot ways tagged as highway=residential, when they should be highway=track, highway=service, or highway=unclassified. There's a checklist on https://map.bingo/2020/01/14/openstreetmap-clean-up-after-tiger/ written by a local mapper that you can use as a guide.

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap!
In this edit, you added the name "Private Road" to a way. Is that the actual name of the road, or is it just an unnamed private road? If it is an unnamed private road, then the access should be set to private. Please see osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions for more info.

Hi, please review osm.wiki/Tag:highway%3Dservice. This way is clearly serving this resort and ought to have the highway=service tag, not highway=track.

Hi,
Please do not change surface=asphalt to surface=paved unless the original tag was a mistake. surface=paved is an umbrella that covers asphalt, concrete, paving stones, and cobblestone. The most specific tag known should always be used, and it's clear from street level imagery that those ways have asphalt surfaces.

Hi, I have a few questions about this edit. Is this course open to the public? And are there route markings on the ground?

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
You have deleted a whole bunch of ways that represent objects that are visible on aerial imagery. You deleted driveways, rock walls, and class vi roads that are clearly visible. The evidence is stacked against your actions. Can you prove that this isn't vandalism?

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please consult the wiki on proper tagging procedures. Relevant pages for this edit included but are not limited to osm.wiki/Key:highway#Roads and osm.wiki/Relation:route#Road_routes. I reverted this edit because you broke too many things, and the breaking outweighed the good additions by a lot. Specifically, you got the highway and ref tags of most of the ways in this edit incorrect, and you broke several relations.

Really dirt hiking paths can have highway=footway, but only if hiking is the only use. Since most trails allow horses, mountain bikes, and skiers, highway=path is correct more often.

Found to be incorrect on survey. Please be more careful when adding access=private.

Access at a public place cannot be private

Ah, on second look it seems like people just ignore the "authorized personnel only" signs and go around. From the Strava heatmap, it looks like people cut through near the Amazon building and leave the area at Massasoit Road.

Still, airport employees are allowed to use it, and the gates do open, so access=private is more correct. I just went through and found all of the gates and added access=private between the gates.

Hi,
As you are reviewing these ways for that MapRoulette challenge, please don't forget to fix the `highway` tag! Ways like this should be track roads.
Happy Mapping

The touble with snowmobile routes is sometimes they go on the road and sometimes they go off to the side, and I don't have the local knowledge to know what happens. It looks like most of the natural=wood was added by user/Bkissin, who edits mainly in Portland.

Hi,
What do you mean by setting access to no for this way? People use it all the time, so is it something new that happened in the last few weeks?

86692697 about 5 years ago

Assuming you don't have evidence that this one is actually access=private like the last one, so I removed it.

I think you severely do not understand what access=private means. It means you need permission on an individual basis. Not even delivery people can go on access=private ways because they might be carrying a gift and therefore won't have previously obtained permission! It's very strict and meant for situations with no trespassing signs posted. You should look into the other access restrictions. It seems like you want to use access=destination, but, of course, you should have evidence that that's how the ways are posted before using it.

Please remember that schools only have kids there for a small portion of the year! Just 20% of waking hours! The rest of the time schools are used as community gathering places and recreation grounds. If you have evidence that no cut-throughs are allowed, you can add access=destination. access=private is only for places you need individual permission to access. Not even delivery people can go there!

Hi,
You said it right there: it's a minor collector. The highway=residential tag is meant for minor city streets and suburban residential developments. It's a special classification that falls outside the normal tier system for highways (primary > secondary > tertiary > unclassified). Really the whole of it from Old Wellington Road to US 6 ought to be highway=unclassified, but I just changed that segment as part of reviewing someone else's edit in the area. I'll take care of that now.

Unfortunately, the TIGER data that all of this was imported from didn't distinguish between suburban streets and minor rural roads, which is why there's so much highway=residential scattered around. Please see osm.wiki/Key:highway#Roads
