Hello TransAct-AS, what is the source for changing this driveway to an unclassified road? Does it seem too important to be classified as an unclassified road?

Why did you change this road to an unclassified road? Shouldn't this be a driveway since it looks to be a driveway as seen in the aerial imagery? Perhaps you overclassified this road, causing this disconnected unclassified road?

Why did you tag McCoy Avenue (way/119541147) as an unclassified road? It was a residential road since it provides access to homes.
highway=residential
osm.wiki/New_Mexico/Highway_Classification#Unclassified

And I'm guessing there's not actually a ford connecting McCoy Avenue and Hampton Arroyo as seen here: node/13370313749. Just a bridge carrying McCoy Avenue over Hampton Arroyo as seen in the aerial imagery.

What is the source for those changes? Thanks.

Why did you disconnect way/124808806 from West Aztec Boulevard (way/189121433)? Did the entrance to the service road from West Aztec Boulevard get closed or removed recently? Also, you changed a driveway into an unclassified road. What is the source for those changes? Thanks.

Why did you tag those one-way roads as not one-way? It's a divided highway, and the carriageways are clearly one-way roads. What is the source for this change? Thanks.

Also, please respond when someone comments on any of your changesets pointing out issues to you or requesting further information about your edits. This helps avoid issues and builds trust between you and other mappers on OSM. Users who never respond may be treated as less trustworthy.

I and a couple of other mappers have commented on your changesets pointing out issues and requesting further information about your edits, and you have not responded to them. You can see your discussed changesets here: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=22361283
In the future, please respond when someone comments on any of your changesets pointing out issues and requesting further information about your map edits. This helps avoid a potential block on OSM.

Why did you remove the gates from this driveway? I can see in the Bing Streetside street-level photos from 2021 that there are gates on both sides of the driveway. Did those gates recently get removed? If those gates are still there and open, then you should not delete the gates from this driveway way. You could've tagged those gates as barrier=gate and locked=no so routing software will know that those gates are unlocked and access through them can be allowed without a key.

Also, I can see in the Bing Streetside imagery from 2021 that this driveway appears to be one-way based on signs on the ground. Did this driveway recently stop being a one-way road? What is the source for this? Thanks.

Also, I can see that you added a non-existent bridge, which I don't think there is really a bridge here: way/1456912459

I don't think this driveway should be tagged as an unclassified road since it serves school buses and a school. This should be tagged as highway=service and service=driveway. I think you have the tags wrong on the driveway way (way/752320461).
service=driveway

Why did you change valid administrative boundaries into roads? Those are very clearly administrative boundaries and must not be tagged as roads.

This changeset did not disconnect the node of the road from the administrative boundary as I thought it would. Instead, it moved the node back to its previous position along with the administrative boundary. The node of the road was actually disconnected from the administrative boundary in changeset/175738531. changeset/175738531

One node adjusted in this changeset has been reverted in changeset/175737446. changeset/175737446

When someone comments on any of your changesets, you should almost always respond, even if that answer might be "I don't know" - or if you fixed the mistakes yourself, as it helps prevent further issues on OSM and builds trust with other mappers. Edits of people who never respond may be treated as less trustworthy. Per the OSM Wiki, it states:

>"You should almost always respond, even if that response might be "I don't know" – or if you fixed the mistakes yourself. Public communication between mappers is crucial to building trust. Edits of people who never respond may be treated as less trustworthy."

Please keep in mind that you will not be banned just for making mistakes. We understand it takes time to learn how OpenStreetMap works. However, unresponsive users who continue questionable edits despite being contacted multiple times first will get a warning (so-called 0-day block), then progressively longer blocks on their account.

Just to follow up, I don't think "Unknown Building" would be a good name for a building you don't know the type of or don't know the name of. If you don't know what type of building it is or don't know the building's name after mapping it, I don't think you need to put "Unknown Building" in the name tag of buildings. You can just leave it without a name for now. Once you know the type of a building or its name, you can specify the type of building, add the building's name, and other building tags.

Also, don't remove tags you don't understand. Just because you come across elements with tags you don't understand or have no meaning to you doesn't automatically mean you should remove them. They may have been added for a specific purpose. If you think they might be junk, then try to contact the author first. You can also contact me if you have any questions or concerns about my map edits. My map edits are usually adding valid map data and modifying existing map data to reflect changes in the real world while preserving the history on OSM (e.g. not deleting existing map elements and redrawing them). osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_remove_tags_that_you_don't_understand

Don't remove objects that you don't need or don't like. Be brave in what you add, but careful in what you delete. You should certainly not remove map details that someone else added. It is known that not everything is always needed by everyone, but you should not remove something just because you do not need it, you think it is stupid, or the validator ordered it so. Per the OSM Wiki, it states:

>"Be brave in what you add but careful in what you delete. Someone added a catenary mast or a manhole? And you think it's stupid or unnecessary because it doesn't display on the map? Inaccurate mapping is not forbidden, but you certainly should not work the other way and remove details that someone else added. It is known that not everything is always needed by everyone, but you should not remove something just because you do not need it / you think it is stupid / the validator ordered it so."

You don't need to delete existing roads and redraw them anew. It's better to modify their geometry or change their tags instead of deleting the roads. This helps preserve the history on OSM. I talked to you about deleting existing elements and redrawing them anew on the map in a few of your changesets (You can find your discussed changesets here: https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=9370870). You just have to modify their geometry or edit their tags instead of deleting the elements.

I saw in this changeset that you deleted a driveway as seen here: way/20597830 and then drew an alley in its place. You can just change the road's tags instead of deleting the road and redrawing it anew. For the driveway you deleted, you could've just changed its tags to highway=service and service=alley and modified its geometry, instead of deleting the driveway and drawing a new alley in its place.

I do encourage you to read this OSM Wiki article on keeping the history on OSM, so this is brought to your attention to keep in mind for the future: osm.wiki/Keep_the_history

I also encourage you to read the OSM Wiki article on good practice on OSM, so you can be a better OSM mapper next time: osm.wiki/Good_practice

It looks like you edited or adjusted the commercial area in this changeset rather than just "Add" it since you already added it.

I corrected the direction of the Gateway Lane Northeast one-way roads in changeset/175475244 by clicking on the "Change Direction" button in the "One Way" field of the ways in iD editor.
