I've fixed the dragged node, and removed the power:meter since this is likely from the stated copyrighted source.

hi could you explain how you've determined these tag values?

163518921 10 months ago

hi I've re-instated this but used the abandoned lifecycle prefix, since there is still a faint painted outline of the netball court, but given the faded paint and the parking lines seems unlikely still in used.

150475304 10 months ago

Yeah I think based on your knowledge here reverting back is best, and possibly adding informal=yes.

163437298 10 months ago

I've fixed this now.

Hi, this track you edited has been recently deleted, did you have any local knowledge you can add?

hi and welcome to OSM.

Please see osm.wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Cycling_and_Foot_Paths#Legal_Access

OSM can contain data for sanctioned, informal, and closed/illegally constructed paths and our guidelines page explains the reasoning and what tags can be used to communicate the exact situation on the ground to OSM data consumers.

Essentially if there is some physical evidence on the ground, then it can be mapped in OSM. If there are track closure sign, or other substantiated sources indicating no access we can mark that with access=no, and possibly mark the track as abandoned or disused if formally closed off for rehabilitation.

Further you can use informal=yes to indicate it's not a formal track.

hi please note that the source you've used here expressly says

> Essential Energy retains all intellectual and industrial property rights which exist or may exist in or with respect to the information or material. The information or material must not to be copied or distributed by you to any third parties

But regardless, by default works are copyrighted and that means we're only able to use specific sources which we've confirmed are able to be used in OSM osm.wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue

We'll need to remove the data you've added from this source.

Unfortunately Landgate don't release their data as open data so due to copyright we can't utilise it in OSM. Safest to check the street signage via a ground survey.

Looks like you may have already found osm.wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Cycling_and_Foot_Paths#Closed/Illegal_Paths because you're tags are close.

What you have is pretty much it, except you got the key=tag a bit mixed up.

We write key=tag so left part is the key and right part is tag, it should be abandoned:highway=path not abandoned=highway=path as you have.

See also abandoned:highway=*

Okay, I think using `addr:unit` makes it more compatible with existing tools, just think we should have some way to capture the unit type/qualifier/designation.

163387873 10 months ago

A shame to loose the address type qualifier, I know for the Vicmap import we dropped this due to complexity but in this case it was surveyed.
I'm also not sure if there are some mixed used buildings with commercial and residential that would have both Shop 1 and Unit 1 within the same address.

I think it should be okay to do `addr:unit=Shop 1`

addr:*=*#Detailed_subkeys mentions in the US there is no consensus on including the designator

Thanks for replying, all good.

163271096 10 months ago

I just checked via survey and made some tweaks.

163266500 10 months ago

possibly from the imagery this looks more like residential=terrace? residential=terrace

163267249 10 months ago

looks good

There is informal=yes for informal ways informal=yes however an informal highway=track seems lees likely than highway=path.

highway=track implies that it's physically usable by vehicles (might only be 4wd, or private maintainance workes, but at least someone could), so if that's the case here then that's fine.

I'd suggest to also tag access modes access=*

You said it's not blocked off, so maybe motor_vehicle=yes or permissive?

163271096 10 months ago

I had left this unconnected since it's unclear from imagery, even on Bing it's not clear, if anything Bing seems to show it going more off to the east. Since it seems people are very keen to try and fix this remotely without waiting for a ground survey, I'll change it to go where I think it most likely goes from imagery and add a note to check.
