Thanks for your contribution and welcome to OpenStreetMap! I just mapped the rest of the new development.

When editing OpenStreetMap in NJ, there is a background imagery option that is from 2015 and is a little lower quality than Bing, but it shows newer features. This layer is available by clicking the Background button on the side of the editor. Anyway, thanks again and hope you stick around!

Hi pkoby, this is one of those situations where I think the wiki gives poor guidance. The junction node between a crosswalk and the road exists so that vehicular traffic can know that there is a crossing there. The stripes on the ground are a 'control device' so calling marked crosswalks "uncontrolled" is misleading. And I think traffic signals is a feature of the intersection itself, or kerb points, not of the crosswalk itself (i.e. per "duck typing", you wouldn't say that it is a crosswalk of type "traffic signals").

However I do know that the way I am tagging things is different from the advice given on the osm wiki, so I'm willing to revert my changes to the crossing nodes if you feel strongly about it. I don't think that the actual tag value set for `crossing`=* actually matters to any router.

Thanks for reaching out!

Thanks for your contribution and welcome to OpenStreetMap! The landuse imported around New Jersey is public data from 2002, so while most of it is still accurate, some of it has changed a lot since then. Thank you for cleaning it up :)

Also worth mentioning, you can draw an area with the "Construction" preset around the whole new development, and this will let other mappers know that the area might have changed significantly since the imagery was taken, and know not to delete your edits...

Nice work! Thanks for your contribution and welcome to OSM!

I connected the walking paths to nearby roads, this is something that is important for routing and prevent warnings. Thanks again!
