Hello,

You edited the map this afternoon to say there is a pedestrian island in the middle of this zebra crossing.

I think this is incorrect.

I advise you to undo your edit.

Nice!

Hello,

Warning: you erased oneway:bicycle=no on this street. This tag is useful to guide cyclists because it is one-way for cars but cyclists are exempted from this thanks to the white signs.
I will restore it.

I see you are using StreetComplete. When prompted to describe the type of cycleway, be sure to correctly choose "none but cyclists may use the road in both directions" instead of "there is no cycleway".

Starting with version 42.0 of StreetComplete, it will now trigger a warning if your answers break existing tags.

Happy mapping.

This is a good example of the need to map cycleways and footways separately, when some tags apply to one and not the other. ;-)

width=1.4 is ambiguous on infrastructure that is open to several modes of transport.

Hello,
Thanks for this.
The start_date tag looks a bit weird. Could you please check again? The best format for a date is YYYY-MM-DD.

I made some further changes, no big deal.

Hello,

One remark here: "segregated" is useful on footpaths to know if it is a D9 or a D10 sign.
For a highway=pedestrian, there is no such need, segregated=no is implicit. I feel it’s not wrong to add it but you can save time.

That being said, to avoid edit wars between mappers, we should probably discuss some standards for roads within parks. In Josaphat or Woluwe parks, some paths "feel" like roads because they are made of asphalt. This is less obvious here.
We could set up a rule based on what roads are used by service vehicles (e.g. highway=pedestrian on those highway=footway elsewhere).

Hello,

Thanks for this but please add titles for your changes to the map.

Hello,

We checked the situation and there is only one single name for this street over the whole territory of this municipality.
"Steenweg of Waterloo" is incorrect.
(Spelling variants for this long street exist in the Brussels-Capital Region, but there is at most one variant per municipality.)

My bet is that the owners of Barracuda bicycle shop looked at Google Maps and took the address from there. It is a very common mistake. (This is why in OSM we usually ignore what Google Maps says: not only it is illegal to copy data from there, but there are hundreds of mistakes like this one.)
AIV GRB is the authoritative source for street names in Flanders.

Don’t worry, I fixed it all. I also slightly moved the location of the shop because it’s one of the two buildings.

Have a nice day.

Voor een "bloembak" zou barrier=planter beter zijn dat barrier=block, denk ik.

barrier=planter

119170991 over 3 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for adding a bicycle shop, that is nice.

Just one thing here: Barracuda spells the address as "Steenweg op Waterloo" on their website, and you reflected that by changing the name of the road here, but I am afraid this is incorrect.

On the territory of Sint-Genesius-Rode, the Dutch name of the street is "Waterloose Steenweg". You can see a street sign here: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1320235318472738

I think we’ll have to revert this.

Hello,

Your house looks a bit distorted now. ;-(
We advise to not use aerial imagery to draw houses. If you do that, you are drawing the roof and not the walls.

Here is the recommended way to do it: when you are editing, use the "Background Settings" button on the right and scroll down to "AIV Flanders GRB". Use that layer for buildings.

Have a nice day.

OK, fine.

Hello,

I see two schools with the same name here:

The one you created today:
way/655206218

This other school:
way/655206220

Is that the same school? Hence we should consider joining them, either as one single area—if it is continuous—or as a multipolygon.

I can fix it but I need to see with you first if that is correct.

Something else:
way/1046480670
It is very unlikely this has a *name*.
Good to know: we have a tag for those, i.e. leisure=schoolyard.

Hello,

Please be careful with the app: we tend to trust users who are on the field but if they answer questions wrong this will corrupt the information we are trying to build, to guide blind users.

I checked your change and I see tactile paving on both sides of the crossing. Therefore, the answer should have been yes.
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=1712235569115290

I fixed this one, don’t worry.
Happy mapping.

Hello,

I don’t see anything tagged as a park-and-ride here.

Is it just about this small loop you created?
way/1046418822

119031796 over 3 years ago

Hello,

I understand there is a problem with the last 5 meters but for the moment this cycle track is unconnected to the roundabout on its western side. Bicycle navigation will reject this cycle track completely because of that.

How is the situation exactly? Perhaps we could create a single footway connector with bicycle=dismount if that’s how people are expected to use it for the moment. Unless it is completely impossible to pass through.

What did you see there?

119081367 over 3 years ago

Otherwise, your changes are good, thanks!

Hello,

I moved the pharmacy node inside the building outline, because it was located on the edge (but in fact it was technically a little outside).

While you are editing, you might see some points created long ago, floating _outside_ the building → you can move them inside. (That happens sometimes for nodes created through mobile apps with inaccurate location.)

Last thing: if a building only has one address—this is the case for most small houses—it is not necessary to repeat the address on amenities located inside that building. Technically it is not wrong but it’s just not necessary.

118998082 over 3 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for spotting this, and apologies for the mistake.

I wanted to trust note #3106677 here that announced the building could be traced, but that was a mistake, then. (That user is definitely not reliable. 🙄)

I restored the former structure and added a fixme tag, so that we know we’ll have to check it later, and I also put a demolished:* prefix on the other building at the back, that way no-one else will add it by mistake.
