Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I noticed you tagged this retail area as a building, however that tagging is incorrect. The building=yes tag is only supposed be used on ways that cover a building footprint. The correct tag is actually landuse=retail.

I've noticed you've done this elsewhere in the US. Can you please correct your mistakes? Thanks!!

Hi, usually, in the US, freeways have to have at least two consecutive interchanges in order to be tagged as a motorway, and this is not the case here. (the interchange with I-25 doesn't count because this US 20/26 freeway meets it at a diamond interchange)

Please change it back to trunk; thanks!

I don't think this light rail is open yet, is it?

Is this road still closed?

Do you have evidence that the Foothills Parkway is actually under construction? I looked on the NPS' website and it doesn't appear that it is under construction.

Can you please explain why you keep adding "Heavy Traffic Route" to the name field? This has been removed multiple times, yet you keep on adding it.

WA 410 should still be motorway until just past the exit with Sumner Tapps Hwy East/166th Ave E. That section clearly is a freeway.

Okay I just checked the wiki (osm.wiki/Tag:waterway%3Dstream) and it says that streams are usually no wider than what can be jumped across by an active, able bodied person. I wasn't familiar with this, and since 15 feet is too far to be jumped across, I'll change it back to a river. Sorry about that.

Generally, if it's called a creek, it should be tagged as a stream not a river. Usually rivers are at least as wide as a two lane road. And they are named "Foo River" not "Foo Creek."

The section of US 46 at the NJTP interchange should stay as trunk, since it's one interchange sandwiched between at-grade intersections.

In the US, any road that is a two-lane undivided freeway like this one (aka a "super two") should be tagged as trunk, not motorway. Please change it back, thanks!

No problem, glad you are aware of this now.

Hi, I just deleted this wood relation you created that covers all of this part of Angeles National Forest. Just because it is a national forest doesn't mean it should be tagged with a giant multipolygon relation. Much of that area, especially along I-5 (and I can say this, having driven I-5 through here) is not actually wooded! Please only tag actual wooded areas with the natural=wood tag. Including areas that are not actually wooded is very misleading and inaccurate.

Having not heard a response from you, I'm going to change these roads back to trunk.

Also FYI, it looks you have changed this to motorway even after two other users changed it back to trunk. This is considered edit warring, and is strongly discouraged on OSM. I appreciate you discussing this with me rather than just changing it yet again, so that's a step in the right direction, but I just want to let you know that you should avoid doing this in the future.

Thing is, there's sort of a gray area in my mind. Yes, there are onramps and offramps, but if you go westbound, you don't hit any interchanges or any ramps at all. And a road can be grade-separated with without being a freeway.

Generally, when it's not quite a freeway (as in this case), trunk is the best way to tag a road like this.

Hello, welcome to OpenStreetMap! Thank you for your edit; however, things like "signal coverage" don't belong in OSM, even if it's tagged as a retail area.

The tag place=city is only for populated areas that have higher population than 4,000. According to osm.wiki/Tag:place=city?uselang=en, 95% of nodes with place=city have a population of 20,000 or more, so this place doesn't make the cut, even if it may be officially considered a "city."

The access=destination tag just means that the road is not meant to be used as a through route; it doesn't mean that trucks/commercial vehicles aren't allowed.
