Hello again,

It has been several days since I first contacted you about the sources for your edits since I found them to be highly unlicky to be correct

Since then I have done an internet search for changes of speed limit on I290 and MA 2. Both searches came up empty. I also checked the speed limit on I290 while I was commuting on it. The limit is still 65mph.

At this point I can state with certenty that this changeset and your others on I290 are fictional. Keeping this in mind it is highly likely that your speed limit changes on MA 2 are also fictional.

Editing of this type is defined in the OSM wiki as vandalism osm.wiki/Vandalism#Vandalism_and_other_types_of_bad_editing

This page also give me the privlage to revert edits that I can prove degrade the quality of the map data on OSM.

Therefore I am asking that you please revert the speedlimit changes back to the previous values.

If I do not get a response from you by 6PM on Sunday the 7th (tomorrow) I will revert your edits myself.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Hi and welcome to OSM!

What is the source for these changes?

I believe that there is a state law prohibiting speed limits being set over 65mph unless they have changed the law?

Thanks

Hi,

It looks like you have inavertently added two sections of trail as a boardwalk: way/1224887969 and way/1224887970

If you could please correct this it would be appreciated.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hi,

I noticed that you changed parts of the Mass Central Rail Trail from highway=cycleway to highway=path. Since highway=path is a very generic tag that is commonly used on small hiking trails in the woods. It makes it hard for cyclists to find the rail trail on cycling maps.

For the rail trails in mass the convention is to use highway=cycleway with foot=yes so that the rail trails will show up on dedicated cycling maps but it is also indicated that walking/running is ok too.

If you could ether revert this changeset or submit a new changeset that resets the rail trail to highway=cycleway and foot=yes it would be appreciated.

I also saw that you changed ways way/229841698 and way/229841699 that were tagged with highway=bridleway to highway=path. This is fine if these are just foot paths in the woods. Plus I doubt they are restricted to horses only.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Since it has been 4days since attempting to contact this mapper and there has not been any reply or further activity on OSM I just went ahead and fixed the incorrectly mapped addresses. changeset/134986732

Hello and welcome to OSM,

It looks like you tried to add addresses to this multi-family house. When adding addresses to buildings in OSM there are certain rules that need to be observed in order for that data to be useful to navigation programs and things of that nature. The complete documentation on adding addresses can be found here :addr:*=*

However, if you (like me) don't enjoy reading a bunch of boring documentation just to figure out something trivial you can use this multi-family house that I mapped as an example: way/1066702889

Let me know if you need any help or clarification.

Hi,

Although it did look like this roundabout was mapped incorrectly when comparing to bing or MassGIS aerial imagery it has actually been circularized since the aerial imagery was last updated.

While I do not know what the exact shape is, I do know that it is now a circle and no longer an ovalish shape like is shown on bing or MassGIS.

I wonder if it would be possible to revert this changeset so the map can be as accurate as possible until we can get some more up to date aerial imagery?

Thanks,
RedEyedVireo

Hello and welcome to OSM,

It looks like something went wrong with your edit and there is now a shop in the middle of a major road.

From the address you specified I am guessing that Down Range Sports is located in this building: way/211965825
If so would it be possible for you to move the node to the correct location?

Also it does not seem like you specified what kind of shop Down Range Sports is. From the website it looks like shop=weapons would be appropriate.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Also source=Local Knowledge.

Forgot to add than when I uploaded this changeset.

Hi.

Thanks For Clarifying.

I just took a look at this on MassGIS Level3 parcels which shows that there is a parcel that is listed as 1 Hygate Road in addition to a right of way where the road would be. I think that you are correct in thinking that when the lots were created someone decided to name the parcel as such. However, the land was never developed and the road was never built.

Given that the road only seems to exist on a parcel map and not in the real world I will delete it.

Regards,

Hi,

What is your source for Hygate Road? It is not visible on any aerial imagery that I am aware of.

Thanks,

Hi,

Although this building way/1115259523 shows up on the 2021 MassGIS Orthos, it was demolished in spring of 2022 after falling into disrepair.

Thanks,

This changeset changes two small sections of MA2 from highway=trunk to highway=motorway as there is no discernible difference (road width, # of lanes, speed limit) between the sections that were tagged as trunk and the sections that were and still are tagged as motorway. If there is a reason why the highway=trunk sections were tagged as such please let me know and I can change it back.

This changeset removes name=Pride Park from way/29755982 as the only Pride Park that I could find was Pride Park Playground way/1055530356 which is on a different parcel then way/29755982 If anyone is unhappy or can find a source that refers to way/29755982 as Pride Park feel free to change it back.
