Hello. Thanks for mapping.
I noticed that you tag highways in rural areas often incorrect, to my opinion.
For example. You often tag small traces in between agriculture fields as unclassified or residential.
Please read and follow the tagging rules on this linked document.

Hello. Thanks for mapping on this project.
You tagged a number of traces in rural area without buildings as service.
Track is a better tag.

Hello Thanks for mapping on this project.
Tag highway=Path rather than footway/ Paths are usually impassable for motorised vehicles. (However, African motorcyclists can sometimes do the most improbable stunts.) In order to mark a path as appropriate for cycling, add bicycle=yes. Never use path to mark an unpaved or unsealed road in built-up residential areas: Such roads should be tagged according to the local conventions (usually highway=residential if passable by vehicles and pedestrians, or highway=footway for pedestrian only where they can sometimes be separated from another parallel highway for vehicles).
----------------------------
How to measure the width of a road in IDeditor:
Zoom in as far as possible and draw a line between the shoulders of a trace and click
ctr +shift+M to shows measurements
click on the line between the nodes, and you get the width.

Hello. Thanks for mapping. We welcome you as a new mapper.
Please solve the issues, shown by the issue triangle, before you upload your mappings.

Hello. Thanks for mapping here.
A remark. You added a layer-1 tag to a road. Now you tell that that road is under the ground level !??
You probably did it to hide a crossing error with buildings. Just let it cross when the project system does not allow you to adjust or move the buildings.
A validator will correct those issues.
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello Alinafe. Yes, you can correct those issues by unconnecting that node. Key G on the keyboard when selected. Just move the node a bit aside.
When you think it is helpful,
there is an inline validation tool which shows direct during mapping if you make certain errors
Download here
https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/archive/josm_paint_inline_validation.zip
If installed, you can find it under the tab Map Paint styles. : inline validation.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please do not tag highways as 'road' To generic. Here most of the traces can be tagged as path.
Best regards

Hello again.
You added a layer tag to a path. Why?
Only when a highway crosses a waterway, and it is a bridge or a culvert, you can add a layer tag.

Hi again. Please solve the issues on the Issue triangle before uploading your mappings.
Never connect a node of a road to other features than roads. Here, you connected a path to a railway and to a river,
When a road crosses a waterway, you need to add a waterway crossing, Bridge, culvert or ford.

Here I am again with a remark.
You changed the tag of a thorough going highway from tertiary to motorway. Since this road has just 1 track, I should leave it as tertiary.
Again, as a new mapper it is not recommended to alter taggings of main highways.
Best regards

Hello. In addition to my other comments:
Please do not connect nodes of a highway to other features, like here, an electrical powerline. (these are far above the ground)

Hello. Thanks for mapping on this project,
Please use the tag highway=path rather than footway. See this paragraph on the wiki highways east africa. Quote:

btw. A path, as well as track, are by default unpaved. No need to add that tag,

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please use the Maxar Imagery as prescribed in the instructions.
Do not forget to add a tag to the highways you have mapped.

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Please tag the buildings you map and square each of them.
You just draw a few lines per building.
Please check the lessons how to map!

Hi again. I reviewed this changeset as well.
Please do not tag highways=residential in rural area.
This is a branch to a single building. Just tag such highways as highway=service.

Please read and follow the tagging rules on this linked document.

Hello again. I reviewed your mappings on this changeset.
Issues: mapped 68 buildings, none of them fair squared. Don't you use the building tool ? It produces nice squared buildings.
Please tag every object you map. You missed a few buildings.
And for land use objects, there is no need to add area=yes.
Best regards
