Thank you for those reviews !

I removed the way and relation search from the query for highway=bus_stops as there shouldn’t be ways tagged this way. I also added public_transport=platform nodes and ways, and the newer Public Transport scheme represent platforms where people wait this way :

Overpass query

Other transport means can be included when using public_transport=platform, but after a quick visual check there doesn’t seem to be significant.

This brings the count of public transport stops to around 1715; a bit more but nowhere near 50k from your calculations.

I would agree with the method suggested by Athalis, there are too much needlessly duplicated names

Nice job !

J’avais initialement mis le ‘,i’, mais bon je me suis dit que les boulevards n’auront surement pas d’erreur de capitalisation.

En effet le résultat est meilleur sur les 2 et 3 !

Sinon c’est une bonne idée donnant une visu sympa, mettant en valeur ce qu’on peut faire (relativement) facilement avec OSM, et ça fait réviser l’histoire de nos villes !

Voici la requette overpass utilisable pour avoir le même résultat :

way[name~"^Boulevard"]({{bbox}});
out geom;

Pour éviter que des cercles apparaissent là où les ways sont trop petites, cocher “N’affiche pas les petits objets comme points d’intérêts.” dans Paramètres > Carte.

I concur with cquest for [1], as the general public is not allowed to go on that stretch of road from anywhere, so a turn restriction would be redundant.

Some answers as I’m french and haven’t forgot the entirety of traffic laws :)

[1] For the general public, this is a no-left-turn. “Service” means specially authorized vehicle, so I think that a general no-left-turn is ok.

[2] The distance from the sign to the danger or restriction is defined strictly, that’s why multiple independant signs can be stacked. In this case, those signs does not follow the legal requirements, so they are just indication without a legal standing. The first sign is to indicate what is there (Civilian Protection, a kind of state-run emergency services), the second one is “Generic Danger”, with a subtext explaining that emergency vehicles can enter the road, and you’ve already explained the third.

[3] The upper “double-sign” means that vehickles transporting dangerous materials (filled orange) must turn right. The “E” sign means that the upcoming tunnel is class “E” by european standards, meaning that almost every truck with dangerous stuff can’t go in that tunnel.

[4] This is a straight-only restriction. Maybe three oneways join to a fourth oneway, or maybe the turn radius is too short to turn.

Thank you for the heads up, I did not know they were being posted.

And if you’re an organizer, thank you for uploading the videos !

@BushmanK : your last post is spot-on !

This problem is that the current policy of the osm.org website is to remove as many “barriers” before contributing so that people that only want or can dedicate a few minutes to mapping can add something to the map, even if that “something” is sub-par mapping or worse, as they didn’t read any documentation.

You can’t remove all barriers before starting to map and expect novices with little to any OSM experience to map quality map features. So it is an intentional policy to gain as many mappers as possible, while giving the burden of QA to more experienced and more available mappers.

I wonder what’s better : * Having a lot of new contributors, but consuming “experienced” mapper time to fix mistakes of contributors who can’t be bothered to read any documentation. * Trying to make newbies read the wiki before mapping, actually display errors in iD instead of hiding them to increase “mapper retention”, etc. even if that means less new contributors but a rise in data quality.

Sympa !

Neat ! Can’t wait to test it out :)

Or maybe your wiki user page if you have one.

Nice catch !

@Sanderd17 Yes it seems so

I don’t really see the point of using a placeholder in OSM diaries, but I guess there is one as you posted.

Another thing : by using a placeholder, your update won’t be pulblished on things like RSS and might go unseen by a lot of people.

Really nice shades, good job !

Thank you for both the plugin and this great manual !

I added a link in the wiki page about the plugin toward your guide.

You can contact him via the changeset comments, as you wanted him to do before modifying entities you made.

It looks like the lack of time for admins/DWG is a reccuring matter, when I was doing country-scale correction of operator/network tags on a particular bank, i got reversed without any discussion, and the DWG member totally ignored my questions.

I understand that it can be really time-consumming to deal with both admin/moderation and explanations, but I don’t think you can dissociate these 2 functions as you deal with edits “in good faith”.

If there is not enough moderators (for the wiki, blog pages, OSM db…), you should try to bring more people into the pool, to avoid letting motivated contributors feel forsaken as I have been around some of my changeset, and how XXZME felt too, seemingly.
