Hello. Thanks for mapping on this project.
One of the validator jobs is to reviews the taggings of highways . Experience earns that traces of highways are regularly wrong tagged.

How to decide when a trace is a path or an unclassified highway (main choices in rural areas)
First, look what they connect. Houses, settlements, villages. Then measure the width of that trace.

In iDeditor

Shortcut : Ctrl+⇧ Shift+M – toggle opens measurement panel
Draw a line between the shoulders of a trace (zoom in very far) and read the distance.
If a trace is max 2 meters wide, tag it as a path.
Wider and connect hamlets, houses and villages should be tagged as unclassified.
Tag residential in urban areas (villages, towns)

In JOSM, use the measure tab or, draw a circle (round building, shortcut Alt-Z when the building plugin is installed)) between the shoulders of a trace and read the distance on the lower toolbar. (don't map that bulding)

osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines
This is mentioned about tracks on the
osm.wiki/Routing#Routing_considerations

Quote: Tracks are roads of agricultural purpose. They usually connect fields to farms. The surface sometimes makes them inaccessible for regular cars, or at least limits the speeds to a very slow pace. Tracks should always be avoided for through-going traffic or within urban areas.

Living street tag is to be used in dedicated urban areas. ( No traffic allowed) Here tag them as residential.

Thank you for mapping. You have correctly identified the location of most objects, However, mapped with an offset. Did you not use the BING imagery ?

Reminder: Please be sure to square all rectangular buildings with the Q key
Reviewed by a validator at random or as requested.
FYI. Please view this video about common new mappers mistakes.

We welcome you as a new mapper.
Thanks for your contribution to this project.
This changeset is reviewed by a Global Validator to check that the tasks have been mapped in accordance with the quality standards of HOTOSM.
We cannot expect from a new mapper that he/she delivers high-quality mappings from the start, so we offer some guidance.
Please pay attention to the next summarized issues. (see attached document with examples for more info)

Buildings need to be tagged as building=yes.

About mapping highways.
Don't map roads which don't exist. (no trace on the ground)
Correct highways to the correct place when they are offset.

Please use the correct Imagery. Bing instead of Esri.

Mappings are often oversized.

Don't include the shadow of a building.

Most buildings are rectangular. Don't add nodes in the center of a roof. The imagery is taken under a certain angle, so the roofline seems a bit hexaconal.
