Hello,
What about the name between brackets?
Should that rather be alt_name:* or old_name:*?

Hello,
If you want to map recent changes in Brussels, I suggest you use Urbis-ortho 2019 imagery rather than "AIV Flanders".
I see you are using iD, the simple online editor. In that case, you must manually select Urbis every time you open it. This is because many points you created in this changeset are off with a few meters.
(Incidently, this area has been completely redesigned after 2 years of roadworks, there are still many things to change on the map to reflect the new situation indeed.)

I looked at the history, and there is a more complicated story about this one.
A few years back, this part of the roundabout was barred to traffic with concrete blocks. (This was when the tunnel underneath was being repaired, to avoid having too much traffic coming here, across the tram tracks.) In February 2016, someone wrote access=no. This was correct.
If you keep access=no and add bicycle=yes or motor_vehicle=yes, routers will treat as as "no, but if you are a bicycle or a motor vehicle it is okay"; it solves the problem but it is a dirty way of doing it.
I saw you removed access=no completely, and that was the good way.
(Basically, the problem was that someone put temporary information in OSM and forgot to check later whether it has changed. That happens from time and time. Thanks to you, routers will now work properly around this area.)

Hello,
Good try… but I’m sorry to say this is not how OSM works.
This roundabout is an ordinary road.
Tags like "bicycle=yes" or "motor_vehicle=yes" are what we call "access tags". Every type of road has a default list of all kinds of vehicles that are allowed to use it. If we want to change the default we use one of those tags, either to forbid it (e.g. bicycle=no is a road sign says so) or to allow it for cases where this is not the defaul (e.g. a pedestrian areas is by default only for pedestrians, and we will use bicycle=yes if cyclists are legally allowed to use it).
For this kind of road we should… not use any tag, because all kinds of vehicles are permitted to use it.
(I don’t blame you, this is because the simple online editor has many text boxes, but not all of them are relevant.)
Also, there are special tags to mention what kind of cycle infrastructure (just logos on the road, marked lanes, tracks, and so on) but it is something else.
Have a nice day.

Hallo,
"Verduidelijking" van wat?
Waarom wilt u de locatie van metroplatforms veranderen?
Er ontbreken misschien nog enkele elementen in dit station, maar wat u heeft gedaan, is geen correcte manier om die problemen aan te pakken.
Graag een uitleg, aub.

Hello,
I had to revert your change. This "attraction" was already on the map (node/326040165).

I believe you are right, thanks :-)

Hello,
I thought the proposal for the speed_pedelec key was still a draft. The wiki (osm.wiki/Road_signs_in_Belgium) still uses `moped_p`.
Has anything changed recently?

83767859 over 5 years ago

Hello,
Please do NOT apply the "fixes" suggested by iD for public transport stops.
At this time, we are busy updating the whole series of stops to the revised PTv2 standard. This is a complicated task and it cannot be done properly with the simple online editor you are using. On the contrary, those automatic "fixes" are causing damage to existing route relations.
I expect to finish restoring all tram routes by the end of the week; when this is done, iD will stop showing warning for allegedly wrong tags. In the mean time, please avoid touching those, because you are breaking proper relations by doing that.
Thanks for your understanding.

Hello,
Welke app?
Beware: some apps like Citymapper make wrong assumptions about OSM data. Problems must be reported upstream instead of changing OSM data to please one app… while breaking the workflow for everyone else.

Hello,
Interesting edit. Just a question here: is there a reason to draw water streams as a collection of very small ways instead of drawing one long segment? (It is okay to have long ways when they have the same tags.)

83551866 over 5 years ago

Hello,
I do not understand what’s going on with this changeset.
The underground station has a really complicated structure, it took me several days of careful work in JOSM and several surveys to fine-tune everything.
Is iD appropriate for this type of work?
Why should stairs have names?
Why should some footways (e.g. way/791902451) be connected to stop position nodes that are part of the subway tracks?
Could be please talk about it?
Thanks in advance.

83420543 over 5 years ago

Well done.

Hello,
I understand the reason, but wouldn’t layer=-1 be better for Senne/Zenne river anyway?
Osmose complains about crossing ways with identical layer.
What do you think?

80895853 over 5 years ago

Hello,
"abbr_name" is an undocumented key.
We usually use "short_name". Maybe that is what you are looking for. Do you mind if I fix your changes containing this tag?

83047122 over 5 years ago

Hello,
This is a temporary speed limit during roadworks.
We can leave it. But I fixed the conflicting tags (source:maxspeed was triggering errors) and left a note, because we must not forget to revert it when the works are over.
Have a nice day.

Hello Thierry1030,
Are you sure of this?
If you had opened the history of the ways you changed, you would have read this: "the zone 30 begins at the end of the ramp, near the zebra crossing, but 50 kph in the tunnel"
Did they change something recently? Did you survey the place?

80530281 over 5 years ago

Hello,
We would like to know why you created part of the future tram line onto OSM.
OpenStreetMap is not aimed at publishing proposed infrastructure which is not visible on the ground, certainly not 5 years before operations start.
There has been a study in 2019 to select the most favourable itinerary; on that grounds, the Brussels government approved the overall idea and instructed the operator to apply for building permits. AFAIK, they haven’t even started drawing plans.
Unless you have a very specific reason why you absolutely must have a non-existing track in the main database, I recommend we delete it for the moment and draw it again once plans are available, about time construction starts.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello,
Never mind, I did it.
