Glad to hear that.
I just looked at your data, and it looks very good. I only found one mistake on this way: osm.org/browse/way/164748104
The tag “layer=5” is added.
The layer tag is only used to map things where one road is above the other. If the road is at ground level, it gets the tag layer=0. If it’s a tunnel, it gets negative values. And a bridge gets positive values. You can only have a layer=2 road when it’s already above a layer=1 road.
So layer=5 is pretty rare and is probably not the right tag. And in any way, not the entire way should be tagged with the layer tag. Only the part that is a bridge or tunnel.
See this wiki page for the official information: osm.wiki/Layer
I hope you were able to follow my explanation, and you are willing to apply the correct layer tag (probably just delete the tag, or if it’s a bridge, change the value to 1)
