"In some cases people map every bollard in a row of bollards as a separate node. In such case ensure that bollards are also placed at centreline of roads/footways crossing this row of bollards."

Hi TheNatBoi,

As someone who spends time maintaining a particular area of the map, it's quite difficult to keep track of how others' edits change the quality of the local map when mappers make a single edit that spans 3+ continents. It would be helpful to many of the other mappers out here if you would contain your edits to a smaller area, so it's clear how they impact the map (without others having to go in and inspect every change to understand if you changed something in a way they care about).

Happy Mapping

I've reverted your changes and would appreciate your continued support in viewing others' edits as potentially containing valuable information for uses beyond your primary use case.

Hi Salma_z,

I live and work in this area. I can verify with up-to-the-second knowledge that these barriers exist in precisely the location and number that I have mapped. I appreciate your addition of the barrier to the path, and that is helpful for routing. However, many other apps use OSM data, and they prefer to have the authentic physical information, in addition to the logical paths, networks, and topologies. I am working to place data about Abu Dhabi for both physical mapping as well as logical route planning. When you delete the physical objects that truly exist, you're ignoring the other uses of the map beyond just route planning.

Stop deleting these barriers.

Those barriers exist in the real world. If you'd like to undo someone's hard work, it's better to initiate a discussion than just deleting things.

Hi Princess_Aurora,

This is the current status of the roads in the area, as of July 14, 2023. All Changes are based on in-person usage of the roads. The disconnected road should be marked as no access.

This is the correct road layout as of February 2022.

Your Edits are incorrect. You used Aerial imagery, and I used the most up to date GPS traces that actually represent the new road patterns. Please Revert.

Thanks for the note. Good point - I thought I was following the guide, but honestly, I've been known to get mixed up with all the best practices and proposed new standards. Will keep your points in mind for future edits.
