Hi Ralf, where did you comment other than here? The HOT project manager in this case is this chap https://tasks.hotosm.org/users/surveyor_jr. Project managers can be contacted via the HOT tasking manager under the specific project (https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16836#questionsAndComments). There is also a Slack channel for HOT OSM which will get the attention of the higher ups and maybe get better results. I sometimes find that these HOT projects get put out by relatively inexperienced OSM mappers as some sort of study project but then they seem to do little to supervise what happens afterwards

Hi Ralf, This mapping was done under HOT OSM project #16836 and the task instructions ask for pre-existing mapping to be corrected and aligned with current imagery. I am not the only one working on the project so it is likely that lots of other highway=construction mapping will get altered. While I understand about pre-mapping intended road infrastructure, in Zim the outcome does not always follow the plan, and I question whether it is right to not map what is actually on the ground. Some of your mapping here is 6 years old and yet the roads are still not in existence. I think perhaps you should take this up with the HOT project managers? I will in any event refrain from working this area until the matter is resolved. https://tasks.hotosm.org/projects/16836/tasks?page=1

Sorry, that was an error, thanks for picking it up. Another mapper seems to have already corrected it.

Hi Andrew, I do understand your concerns, but I did consider the turn restrictions quite carefully and I felt that they were largely redundant as the restrictions were mostly implicit from the one-way nature of the slip roads. I am personally quite familiar with the intersection in question (Harare Drive/Borrowdale Rd) and there are no unusual turn restrictions that really need to be documented. Some of these turn restrictions were probably put in by myself when first trying to investigate routing errors through these intersections, and I think it may well have been me that fragmented the main roads in the first place, so I believe this current correction leaves the data in a more accurate state than before?
