Is Whipsaw Lane really a zero-lane road?

Are you sure all those buildings survived the fire? The latest Copernicus imagery shows that as one of the more heavily-burned parts of town.

Are you sure that 1) the buildings you're adding survived the fire, and 2) that they're buildings? way/85031847 in particular, to the best of my knowledge, is a parked semitrailer.

You appear to have deleted a couple of fairly significant Forest Service roads here (NFD 550 and NFD 570). Is there a reason for that?

Mapping a road as divided should generally only be done when it's physically divided. There are some exceptions (for example, if the road is *legally* divided by having four yellow stripes down the middle, and is an extension of a physically-divided road, such as with Sunset Highway approaching Airway Heights).

The Argonne interchange is very much not one of those exceptions: not only is it not physically divided, mapping it as divided prevents mapping useful information such as turn lanes.

Running the boundary up to the pipeline is fine, but you should only attach things to each other if they're actually attached. For example, landuse to landuse is fine, as is connecting two buildings that share a common wall. Connecting unrelated things such as a building and a neighboring forest can make it harder to update the map when things change. Connecting objects that aren't physically adjacent, such as an industrial area and a pipeline running under it, can cause confusion -- software analyzing the map data might conclude that the industrial area is related to the pipeline.

A useful technique when mapping objects that are close together is to hold down the "Alt" (Windows and Linux) or "Option" (Mac) key. This keeps the editor from connecting things to each other when you don't want it to.

If a road is private and gated, the correct way to map it is to add the gate, and mark both the gate and the road as having "private" access rights.

OpenStreetMap isn't just used by the general public. It's frequently used by wildland firefighters because it tends to be more accurate than official maps, particularly with regards to things like driveways and unofficial roads in rural areas.

Is there a reason why you deleted Schreiber Road? It sure looks like it exists in the aerial imagery.

Could you be a bit more careful with your editing? You keep attaching things to the Gas Transmissions Northwest pipeline, and it makes it look like you're scattering your edits across the entire Idaho Panhandle.

Why did you classify Wawawai Road as "secondary"? It doesn't connect anywhere significant to anywhere significant, and sees very little traffic.

Bigelow Gulch wasn't physically divided at the Argonne interchange when I drove through a couple weeks back, but it did have a two-way center-turn lane. Why have you mapped it as a divided road without a center-turn lane?

You made two major mistakes here: you re-classified something that's barely more than a track as a tertiary road, and you re-tagged an old track as a waterway.

In the time I've been following your MapRoulette activities, you've been making at least one mistake for every three changesets. Please stop doing MapRoulette TIGER cleanup until you're familiar with what different types of rural road look like.

There are better ways to move a building than deleting it and re-drawing it. You can right-click on it and select "move", or you can click on it and drag the corners around as needed.

Could you *please* stop deleting information, like you did when you re-aligned the Cambium Place apartments?

When you were deciding to re-classify Clark Lake Road as tertiary, did you somehow miss that only about half of it actually existed?

The "junction=roundabout" tag belongs on the circular part of the roundabout, not the point where other roads intersect the circle.

Is there a reason why you duplicated the Hungry Horse Dam?

89752196 over 5 years ago

Not every dirt road in the world is a track. If it's long, well-maintained, and has a name, that's a good sign that it's something more significant.

Has Clark Fork Storage closed?

When you're creating a roundabout, please be careful not to create "short circuits", where an approach road connects directly to an exit road. It causes routing software to ignore the roundabout and give incorrect directions.
