Hello,

I am referring to the comment here
changeset/134295538

"Bicycle=yes" is not a valid tag.
Keys in OSM do not have upper case letters, and "bicycle" is an access key, used to grant or revoke access in a street.

The point in the former comment is this:
* It is very likely there are additional signs to exempt cyclists from the one-way restriction. Should that be the case, the proper tag to add is "oneway:bicycle=no"
* This part of Belgium is Flanders, and the M3 roadsign is very common in this area, i.e. cyclists and also lightweight mopeds are both exempted. In that case, "oneway:mofa=no" is added too.

We will plan a survey here and repair the situation.

Bonjour,

OK si la demande est d'ajouter le numéro 78 à l'entrée de la gare.

(Ils vous ont contacté personnellement pour vous demander de faire ceci ? Vraiment ?)

Par contre, l'entrée ne doit être mise à "level 0", elle est un haut d'un escalier qui est lui au niveau 0, donc entrée au 1 (c'est un modèle de layer logique interne à OSM, ce n'est pas lié aux numéros d'étage dans le bâtiment).
Et ajouter le code postal manuellement sur les adresses, c'est une erreur de débutant, nous allons aussi corriger ceci.

Have a nice day.

For very low walls (a few centimeters), you may consider "barrier=kerb" too. ;-)

Bonjour,
Nous avons corrigé en mettant un point avec les bons tags plutôt que de juste nommer la maison, sinon ça ne sert à rien et le médecin ne sera pas visible sur la carte. C'est corrigé ici.

Hello,

I counted about 100 occurrences of retaining wall structures created by you in the last months.

I understand there may be a few… but those are normally very large structures supporting a cliff. I don’t think this tag is appropriate for any wall, especially a few bricks with ground to host a bit of green.

I think "barrier=wall" is a more appropriate tag in most cases.

One-way roads without any exemption for cyclists are extremely rare in residential areas in Belgium.

Are you sure there are no additional signs for cyclists here?
What is your source of information please?

Hello,

Thanks for spotting new buildings.

Two things please:

1) Despite it looks like you have been looking at UrbisAdm, your nodes are off by almost a meter each time and we had to check and redo everything. It looks like you miscalibrated your background layer.

2) ref:UrbIS is a *unique* identifier for every building in the Brussels-Capital Region. I suspect you have been copying the existing value from nearby buildings (I found ref 5048316 from housenumber 19 copied into housenumber 17, and ref 5048337 from housenumber 13 was apparently copied onto housenumber 15, which was also traced from you).
Please do not do that, adding fake data corrupts the database and generates validation issues.

We fixed it.

Hello,

We have a reliable mapper who works with forest guards and who had explicitely confirmed cycling was forbidden here:

Check out version Version #4
"Changed access to paths based on boswachter from Brigade 1"
way/913254843/history

Why did you change it into a track?
(FYI: highway=track grants access to cyclists, horse riders, mopeds and other small vehicles).
Was this based on a survey?
Does it comply with local restrictions posted in this area?

Looking forward to your reply.

If there is no Belfius agency anymore, you should remove the bank-related tags.
But please DO NOT remove the entire building. You have destroyed a building from the map, now there is a gap.

Hello,

Next time, please update your changes separately: do the changes in England, then upload, and only after that move to France to change things. Uploading everything at once creates unpleasant giant bounding boxes, which annoys thousands of other mappers.

Hello,

If I look at the history of the object, I see this:

– It was tagged a town hall building; this is a historical building which is included in official inventories of remarkable buildings in this part of the country.
– (version #6) A newbie added a picnic table and put the information on the building itself.
– Instead of removing that mistake, you removed references to the town hall and made this huge heritage building… a picnic shelter.

Would you please have a second look, this looks weird.

Quite true. Some friends are busy with it, there are more buildings or fixes every day.

Hello,

For your information, there are several types of paths in our database.

When we code it as "highway=footway" in the database, it means that only pedestrians are allowed here. That automatically excludes cyclists, horse riders, buses, cars…

Thanks for surveying and checking that it is indeed not a place for cyclists.

But since the map was already correct, it is *not* useful to add a restriction for cyclists… because the map already knows it. Adding explicit tags to duplicate standard values just confuses everyone.

Have a nice day.

I don't want to be rude but I looked at the wiki before asking and there is no mention of using tags such as "construction:railway=tram".

That is why I am puzzled about where such a tag—which feels unnecessary to me when looking at the wiki, which makes no mention of using lifecycle prefixes—comes from.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

Nice.

Next time, please try to upload your changes separately: one for Scotland and one for South Africa. Doing all at once creates a gigantic bounding box containing your changes, which spans across entire continents.

Also, AFAIK the standard tagging practice in Edinburgh is to have addresses written on entrance nodes. The address should not be repeated on building outlines, because that would create duplicate values in the database.

Example here:
This is the entrance for building #3, this is correct: node/9084232502
This is the building outline, address should be removed from this object:
way/982254193/history

Hello,

Are those tags documented somewhere? I would like to know more about those, to be sure to do it right next time we have such future infrastructure.

e.g. railway=construction + construction=tram is supposed to be enough, but I see that ORM requires "construction:railway=tram" instead.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Thanks for adding a missing house.

Next time, please use "AIV Flanders GRB" background when tracing buildings, instead of aerial imagery. (Aerial imagery is cool for roads, crossings or low-height objects, even swimming pools, but not for buildings.)

Hope this helps.

Bedankt voor de correctie.

Ter informatie: het is niet nodig of gewenst om de postcode of plaatsnaam in de editor in te vullen. Wij doen dit niet in België, ze worden automatisch berekend. :-) Ziehier een voorbeeld: alle punten in dit gebied krijgen automatisch postcode 3040.

Hello,

Pardon my curiosity but a bus shelter normally has amenity=shelter + shelter_type=public_transport, but no building tag.

Tagging it as a building is only seen for rare cases where there is a sort of bunker made with bricks that acts as a shelter. But plastic and glass devices installed by JCDecaux or Clear Channel never qualify as buildings in OSM.

Would you mind reconsidering the way you tag them?

Hello,

Thanks for this but be aware that the way you changed it makes it exclusively open… to horse riders. Apps that use OSM data will no longer route pedestrians or cyclists here.

I am not sure this is what you meant.

Isn’t it rather a footpath here?
