Regarding the layer=-1 for the tunnel=building_passage section: You are right, it's not necessary most of the time. In this example there are building:part of the Colorade Convention center that are partially crossing the tracks. The layer helps to reliably tell which element is below (tracks in this case).

Regarding the network: The original network name "Regional Transportation District (RTD)" is both full name and abbreviation. I've moved operator to the dedicated tag and use RTD as the network. Probably one could also use "RTD Bus & Rail" or even "TheRide" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTD_Bus_%26_Rail - I've decided for "RTD" since it seems to be the more commonly used branding and logo across.

There is no real documentation on which name to use for the network apart from "use best judgement for what is used on the ground" :P AndI find that a bit challenging in Denver. It's easier e.g. in Paris where it's just called "Paris Metro" or Leipzig where it's "S-Bahn Leipzig".

I didn't change any of the subway or light_rail tagging in this changeset, but just unified conflicting network tags between route and route_master relations.
Looks like you already cleaned up the infrastructure and ways.

Ach ja: "Weißrussland" ist als deutscher Alternativname immer noch hinterlegt.

Hallo, Zuerst: OpenStreetMap ist keine Landkarte, sondern Sammlung freier Geodaten. Eines unserer wichtigsten Empfehlungen ist hierbei die "on the ground"-Regel. Wir erfassen also Daten, wie sie vor Ort vorzufinden sind, bzw. verwendet werden. Bei Ländernamen ist es mit der Verifikation "am Boden" natürlich etwas schwierig. Aber dein Link zum AA bietet da schon einen ersten Ansatzpunkt. Weitere Beispiele:
* Länderseite "Belarus" des deutschen AA: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/aussenpolitik/laender/belarus-node
* Eigenbezeichnung der Botschaft der Republik Belarus: http://germany.mfa.gov.by/de/
* Eine nachvollziehbare Erklärung im Stern: https://www.stern.de/politik/ausland/belarus-oder-weissrussland--wie-heisst-das-land-wirklich--9378414.html
* Auch im deutschsprachigen Alltag hat der Begriff Einzug gehalten: Deutsche Post Länderseite: https://www.dhl.de/de/privatkunden/pakete-versenden/weltweit-versenden/land/belarus.html
Aus Respekt vor der Belarussischen Bevölkerung, die offenbar diesen Begriff bevorzugt halte ich es für angemessen, den modernen deutschen Begriff in OpenStreetMap zu hinterlegen.

Hi,
In this changeset and a bunch of others you re-tagged subway stop positions in metro networks across Iran into stations. This results in multiple station objects to be present in the stop area for these stations, e.g. see in the stop area relation for Shahid Bahonar: relation/7643627
Please review the documentation for public_transport=stop_position public_transport=stop_position and public_transport=stop_area at public_transport=stop_area

A public transport stop should consist of a stop position on the track/highway, optionally platform(s) next to the track and a station object (either as area or node). These are linked together using a stop_area relation.

I would appreciate if after reviewing the documentation you can restore the correct public transport tagging. The subway validator will help you on the right track: http://osm-subway.maps.me/iran.html

Please let me know if I can be of help to restore the tagging.

Best,
Claudius

Hi there,
Based on which information did you reclassify road 16 to a motorway? In the Iranian OSM project the motorway classification is reserved to true Freeway (Azadrah) of which only a handful exist, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeways_in_Iran
The Road 16 which you upgraded the classification for is a backbone of the long distance connectivity in the region, but not built out to motorway standard in any way as far as I know and can validate from Maxar. I am also lacking on the ground knowledge though. So I would love to hear based on which source you upgraded the tagging.

Hallo,
Du hast als Quelle das Video einer Führerstandsmitfahrt aus dem Sommer 2019 angegeben. Bist du dir sicher, dass die Baustelle an der Schnellfahrstrecke (bspw Weg way/749945666 ) aktuell noch besteht? Ich meine, dass das bereits seit Fahrplanwechsel abgeschlossen ist. Aktuell werden über diese Trasse die S-Bahn-Relationen geführt. Da du das Gleis-Tagging auf Baustelle geändert hast wird das jetzt hier im Validator bemängelt: http://osm-subway.maps.me/germany.html
Wenn die Baustelle tatsächlich noch vorhanden ist: Weisst du, auf welchem Gleis die S-Bahnen während der Baustelle fahren?

Hi,
Can you explain why you keep removing railway tagging from various railway bridges across Istanbul and "Add Road Name" to them instead? These road names tagging are also incomplete since you set an empty highway tag.

Hallo,
Kannst du erklären, warum du zahlreiche korrekt nach Verkehrsträger aufgeteilte stop_area-Relationen wieder in Super-stop_areas zusammengefasst hast? Das sorgt für Probleme, da so etwa Halt-Infrastrukturen von Busse, Trams, U- und S-Bahn fehlerhaft in einem stop_area zusammengefasst werden. Da wird dann korrekterweise von Validatoren wie z.B. http://osm-subway.maps.me/austria.html bemängelt.

Can you please clarify your source for this large scale re-tagging of road infrastructure?
I have personally driven a lot of these roads and can testify that they are not Freeways, which is the only road type in Iran that highway=motorway is used for.

It seems you are adapting data to fit your personal use case. The station's reference number (e.g. 10009) belongs into the reference tag of the station. It is not the name of the station though. Can you please revert your changes accordingly so the stations are tagged correctly?
If your use case is obtaining the reference number for a station may I suggest you take a look at apps using OpenStreetMap data that show this information, e.g. the app OSMand

Currently the guideline for people mover infrastructure in OSM is to tag them with railway=monorail - See osm.wiki/Railways#Types_of_railway_line
I find this less than ideal, but it has been the consensus for the past 10 years. And actually if you look at most people mover systems they consist of one (=mono) central guiding rail with the rolling stock running on rubber tyres.
So tagging them as railway=rail is even more wrong since they don't have any outer rails.
Let me know if you are okay with me reverting the tagging of Phoenix Sky Train to monorail.

Hi Paul,
Back in the days there was more consensus on the public transport tagging to preferably tag stations as nodes. As I created duplicate objects back then: Sorry for that.
Are you regularly mapping in Bangkok? What's the preferred tagging: railway=station on node or area?
I am happy to clean up accordingly.

You can also denote the building level for a place using the level-tag. So if you know this restaurant is on the first floor you can tag it as level=1
(NB: The convention is level=0 to be Ground level storey)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for your contributions so far.
If you are unsure about the name of a place, shop or amenity please do not use a descriptive name, e.g. "Nail Parlor". It's impossible to tell then if this is indeed the name or if the name is still missing. Just leave the name tag empty and fill it in the next time you surveyed the location or someone else will.

Also part of this changeset you accidentally deleted a railway tag of the L line. When saving your changes use the opportunity to quickly if all the changes you want to upload are intentional to prevent this.

Happy mapping

Hi Halbtax,
Was there a specific reason that I miss out on why you removed the Leman Express train stop position from the stop area relation relation/9003408 ? I can see that one could separate the stop areas for train infrastructure and bus, but I am not sure if that is what you were aiming at.

Yes, station=subway is a reference to the railway infrastructure and not the location. You can add location=underground for subterranean or location=overground for elevated stations. But this is some evolving tagging still.
Thanks for restoring the station=subway tags

Sorry. Missed your comment earlier.
Established practice for tagging the railway=station is on a node. The problem with tagging it on the area is where you draw the boundary? Does it include the track sections as well? Where does the station end on the tracks as they are leaving the station area?
Now to the specifics of Sydney Central:
- There is already a landuse=railway area that give information about the area used by railway infrastructure
- Furthermore there are polygons for the train station building and the platforms. The latter are linked to the whole station via a stop area relation so as a data consumer you can always determine whether you are within the bounds of an object that belongs to the station

Do you currently have a service that relies on the station polygon you created?
