Hi there jwneptune,

Roads are already mapped for that stretch and they have appropriate speed limits defined. If those speeds are incorrect, you should modify the existing ways instead of adding additional ones along with the old ones. Also, make sure you include the units along with the speed (e.g. "35 mph") instead of just "35". I've gone ahead and deleted the two roads you added in this change. If there are multiple speed limits for the road, just split the way in two at the speed limit change and set the resulting sub-segments to the new limits.

Hi Knikitha, Do you know what happened here? I've seen a couple of these parking aisles today that are splayed out across buildings and existing aisles in ways that are highly unlikely. Is there some systemic error that can be fixed here? Thanks.

Sorry for not being specific in my original comment. I usually remember to mention an exact way url. This is the way that no exists and I'm not sure the incline tag is correct: way/820207768 If you could take a look and correct/verify it, that would be great. Thanks.

1) It was a discussion on the OSM US Slack channel. I have a vague recollection that I only mentioned it because JOSM complained about them overlapping, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
2) If it were me, I'd just mark up to an existing building, but not intersect it.

Anyway, it's not worth arguing over. I just thought I'd mention it and see if you're amenable to adjusting your mapping slightly.

Say Hi to Benny for me.

I conferred with others in the community and they agreed that when outlining woods like these that the way should include just the base of the trees and not their canopy so that we avoid having woods and buildings overlap each other.

Hello Doctor,
This change did something funky with a park and I'm not sure what it should look like and what you're trying to map. Can you take a look at way/565581544 and adjust as appropriate? Thanks.

Hi Dillon, a separate issue from what user_5359 mentioned is that you tried to define a residential area, but you only drew a single line instead of a polygon. I would fix it, but I'm not sure where you wanted to indicate the residential area is.

FYI, the woods that you added overlap with a house/building that added a year ago. I'm assuming that the house is still there, but I didn't dig too deep. Here is the house in question: way/652523803

Hi Stephen, did you actually change anything in this changeset? Is there an error in your workflow, or a problem with JOSM or OSM? Just curious.

Hi Juergen. Thanks for all of your contributions to OSM in the past day or two. I've noticed a slight problem with how you stop drawing a way (path) and I thought I'd mention it so that you can correct how you do it in the future. Say you want to draw four nodes: A, B, C, and D. I notice that you click A, then B, then C, then D, and then back to C to stop drawing a line. The correct way to stop drawing is to just click D a second time. I'm cleaning up the cases I've found of this, so there is nothing you need to do to fix previous contributions. Thanks.

Hi there skinnyhunt05. I removed the golf cart paths that duplicated the existing residential roads on Barleywood, Collinwood, and Glenwood Drives, and Village Parkhouse Gatehouse Road and added a "golf_cart=yes" tag to the existing roads to indicate that golf carts are allowed there. As I understand it, a duplicate path shouldn't be used, but instead have appropriate tags added to existing roads. If you know otherwise, please let me know. Thanks.

I've removed the new Cinemark that you created since there is already one defined. If I'm misunderstanding the purpose for the duplicate, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi there. Thanks for making a bunch of contributions to the map. I just wanted to point out a couple small problems so that you can avoid them in your future mapping sessions. First, sidewalks shouldn't have a "name=Sidewalk" tag. Instead, there is a "footway=sidewalk" tag that should be used. Second, ways shouldn't cross over themselves or double back on themselves. So in this change, where you come to a corner, and then double back away from the corner, a new path should be started.
No need to clean up what you've already done, I'll take care of the ones that I find, but if you could keep these in mind in the future, it would be appreciated.
Thanks, and keep up the great mapping.

Hi Twissler. First off, thanks for the work you're putting into updating the map. Unfortunately this particular change has a lot of problems so I've reverted it back to before you did you changes. When you shifted that bike path, the ends of the path where it connected with other ways got all messed up and created a big problem to clean up.
I'm guessing you shifted it because it wasn't matching a satellite image of the area that you were using. Unfortunately, this is quite common and isn't easy to deal with and know which imagery set is correct and which is off by several meters. You don't mention using additional data sources like GPS traces to verify that your imagery was correct, so I'm not sure your move was actually making things better or not. If you did, my apologies and I'll see what I can do to help you reset things back to the way you had them. Feel free to reach out.

A-ha. I see it now. I'm not used to Bing having the most up-to-date satellite imagery, so I didn't even bother to check. My bad. I went ahead and applied my changes again (with the correct path this time). The loop was drawn such that it reused nodes on the way back to the main path. This is considered a no-no and should have started with a new path. Thanks for the quick reply.

Hey Joe, can you tell me why you reverted my changes? Was there a specific problem with them, or did my changes get caught up in some larger issues? I'd like to understand before I reapply them because there are certain problems with 825077740 that need to be addressed and don't want my changes reverted again without good cause. Thanks.

Hi MojaveNC, a small portion of West State Street was deleted in this change. Was that intentional?

Hi AduptUniform, thanks for the additions to OSM. Are you using satellite imagery (or local knowledge) that is relatively new? The area I'm looking at has this going through a parking lot and I'm wondering why a living street exists in a parking lot. Has there been some construction there I'm not aware of? Thanks.

Thanks!

Is there any chance I can convince you to delete the way until you are ready to finish? I'm trying to keep the country free of the "self-intersection" errors and this one keeps showing up on the list. Thanks.
