Wikipedia article and OSM tag definitions don't exactly align. I would also call this an open-air museum in some kind of way but I wouldn't tag all open-air museums as theme parks. Having been here several times, I've been more under the impression that this is some sort of historic park rather than something like a theme park. Even if this isn't exactly a park under every OSM definition, it's maintained and open to the public like one. leisure=park is a very broad and neutral tag as opposed to tourism=theme_park.

I wouldn't call the Williamsburg Historic District an "open-air museum". I'm sure that most likely refers to places like those dinosaur themed museums/parks you see along the highway or other tourist trap-like things. I'd tag something like that under the same umbrella as a proper theme park like Busch Gardens, but not a historic site like the Williamsburg Historic District. I'll tag this as a park since it's a more ambiguous tag and the area technically functions as one.

Hello, slip lanes like you retagged here are better tagged as primary links, as they should always be tagged for the greater road they branch off of. For instance, one between a trunk road and a tertiary road would be a trunk link, one between a secondary road and a residential road would be a secondary link, etc.

I have noted in the past that, at least when it comes to Virginia, state route numbers do not necessarily reflect the importance of the road but rather who it is maintained by. It is very common for primary state routes to be dead-end roads or minor collectors and for secondary routes to be trans-regional arteries. VA 204 and 347 in Westmoreland County are some examples I can think of off the top of my head.

Hello, I don't think that Cherry Hill Road should be a secondary route just because it is signed as a primary state route. While part of a state highway that is tagged as primary for the majority of its route, this small segment only serves as a collector road to access residential streets and business just off Route 29 rather than as an arterial or link between other secondary/primary routes.

I am actually quite torn on what the best classification for Ryan Road would be since it is a relatively busy route that connects other primary routes and a major commercial/residential area, which I think are good criteria for making it a primary route, however, it's not as significant as the other nearby primary routes that it connects to (Evergreen Mills, Northstar, and LCP), which serve as cross-county routes vs. Ryan Road which is more functionally comparative to the secondary segment of Belmont Ridge Road or the other E-W routes Creighton Road and Croson Lane. I think I'll leave it primary for now and wait until the construction finishes to analyze traffic patterns in a fully-built-up area to see which roads local traffic favors.

I think a more ideal way to map this would be to add the existing ways to the route relation and to add bicycle=designated to Beach Drive. I think a routable feature directly overlaid another would create more routing errors or even rendering errors.

Hello, why was a cycleway mapped over an existing way (Beach Drive) in this changeset?

Before I make major highway reclassification edits, I research what routers recommend, specifically Bing since the default OSM routers are heavily influenced by OSM data itself. Bing suggests that taking SR 146 is a few minutes shorter than going down to I 70.

AADT data (https://odot.public.ms2soft.com/TDMS.UI_Core/trafficviewer) also suggests that SR 146 at SR 16 is a very major fork, with nearly half of the traffic (~7,000 AADT) heading east along the freeway exiting off or merging onto it westbound at the interchange with 146 coming to or from Zanesville, with the other ~9,000 AADT continuing east along SR 16. To me it seems that each route is about equally viable, considering both the routing suggestions and traffic data.

Regarding functional classification and NHS designations - functional classification is inconsistent by state and really only exists to be used by the state DOTs mainly to identify how roads should be funded and isn't very useful for OpenStreetMap. As for the National Highway System, it includes various types of roads and highways as well as excluding some major corridors, and is primarily for strategic mobility rather than general civil navigation.

No worries! Thank you for fixing it.

Hello, why were these highways reverted back to trunk?

Hello, highway=residential is not strictly for residential areas, but going off OSM Wiki guidelines, these do serve apartment complexes throughout this neighborhood. Alternatively, they could be tagged as highway=unclassified, which a more broad tag, but there is no difference in rendering or routing between the two tags. highway=service should not be used to tag these roads, however. Service roads with standard tags on OSM, at least in the US, are typically used for small unnamed roads which can serve a variety of areas and amenities like parking lots, rest areas, industrial areas, and so on. Roads like Copley Place and Crown Park Avenue are more akin to typical neighborhood streets rather than a road you would find in somewhere like a strip mall.

Hello, short segments of highways should not be tagged as motorways for brief grade-separated sections or through interchanges. These sections of US 33 is better as a trunk route for now until the at-grade/signalized intersections are removed, grade separated, or converted to RIROs.

Hello, why do you believe a trunk route between Newark and Zanesville is a bad edit? It is a major corridor linking SR 16 to I 70, directly linking the cities of Newark and Zanesville and serving destinations beyond those points.

I have just now reverted the edits made around Mason Neck. Please do not delete existing features to improve golf courses.

Hello, could you please explain why this entire area was changed to a golf course?

Hello, do you know what happened in this changeset: changeset/146999337? My assumption is that two relations were erroneously merged somehow, judging off of "Pocomoke Sound;Thorofare Hill" rendering.

No worries. I'm an ex-local myself but am still interested in editing in the area so a source I've been relying on a lot lately is the Clark County OpenWeb map (https://maps.clarkcountynv.gov/openweb/). Its aerial imagery and data is updated every 4 months and was updated just this month so it is very useful for verifying construction project statuses in Las Vegas and the metro area.

Hello, there are a few issues here. Belt Road between Centennial Parkway and Speedway Boulevard is still mostly closed to the public and under construction and an overpass along Centennial Parkway crossing the railroad does not exist. Which source did you use to conclude these connections were open?

Ok, this random house being changed to a brewery so many times is a little suspicious to me. I checked Google Maps to see if it's there and sure enough it looks like this editor and the other editors have possibly copied it from Google: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.6451323,-77.577118,229m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

I'll see if I can get the placemark moved to its correct location on Google Maps so that the next time someone decides to (allegedly) copy off Google's copyrighted data again, it'll be in the correct location.

OR, maybe corporations can quit employing people to screw up collaborative non-profit project data because it's getting real tiresome, but option might be easier.
