Hello,

Thanks for your first contribution.
I fixed some tags because OSM tags should be written in English to be parsed properly, and duplicating addresses on every building is unnecessary.

Just one question here. You added a height of 65 meters for this building. (height=*) This looks fairly tall for a building with only 4 floors.
Are you sure about the height? Is there a public source where this can be checked?

Thanks.

This was precisely my question: after it stopped functioning as a test centre we could keep it as "disused:amenity" while keeping the building structure.

Deleting the object from OSM is okay if they are dismantling it now. Fine.

Hello,

Your edit is good, you added "oneway:bicycle=no" which now opens the road in both direction for cyclists.

If you want to add a tag to describe the type of infrastructure for cyclists, I guess the magic tag to add here is:
cycleway:left=lane

(Explanation here: "cycleway" is the family of tags that talk about cycle infrastructure. We use left or right to tell the direction we are talking about. It is based on the way the street is drawn in OSM. In a one-way street, "right" is always with the flow of cars and "left" is the contraflow.)
(A lane with dashed paintings like this === is called "lane" in OSM. If there are just bicycle logos or just colour but no lanes, we call it "shared_lane".)

Hope that helps.
Happy mapping.

Hello,

A few days ago the prefab building was still there. Is it gone entirely now?

Hello,

bicycle=yes on the paths in the middle?

There was a discussion some months ago because the ICC/GFR signs were encouraging cyclists to illegally use this path. (changeset/101634572)

There is a note in FixMyStreet explaining they will fix the situation.
https://fixmystreet.brussels/275029

If I look at your latest pictures, it seems they haven’t fixed the signs, so it is still illegal to ride here.

Any thoughts?

Hello,

I didn’t know construction had started yet. Isn’t it rather a "proposed" area?

Or maybe this "Media Square" is a part of the larger Mediapark project (https://www.mediapark.brussels/en/strategic-areas/new-district)?

What do you think?

Hello,

I know you want to help but please look at existing tags before doing such stuff, otherwise you will corrupt the database with mistakes that are really hard to spot and fix later.

For instance, having a contraflow for bicycles uses "oneway:bicycle=no" indeed… but this goes along a "oneway=yes" restriction, which you didn’t add. And the way should have been reversed, otherwise it makes no sense (see picture in the note).

Don’t bother about this one, I fixed it.

Hello,

What does "uhf" mean?
You seem to have drawn several houses.
Please do NOT use aerial imagery to draw buildings. You can use PICC numerical imagery for this. In the web editor, use the layers button on the right side of the screen and scroll down to PICC numerical imagery.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I would like to inform you of problems with your latest changesets.

In Brussels we did considerable work surveying the accurate location of every bus stop run by STIB/MIVB, and about half of those for TEC and De Lijn.

I see you are routinely moving stops, typically putting them as a node of the platform.

If you have specific requirements—is this a routing issue where people need to logically bind those two objects?—maybe we should talk about this first. For instance, we have created stop_area relations, which are there to solve this problem in OSM.

Otherwise, moving stops away from their real location to put them to arbitrary locations is considered vandalism.

Hello,

"(no comment)" is a way to tell other mappers "This is none of your business". :-(

When you remove 15 bus relations, most of which being referred in apps and in the wiki, perhaps it would be nice explaining what is going on.

In one of your previous changeset I suggested you keep existing route relations instead of routinely deleting them and creating your own, because preserving history of objects is one of OSM good practices.

Have a nice day.

Fixed by changeset/120297036 (thanks to user @JuanjoMC)

This change has been reverted, you erased the highway tag that makes it a street, while giving a changeset title that suggests you did something else.

Please learn how to use tags, do not just write "Crèche" on a building and expect it to be detected automatically.

Hello,

Why this "update"?

In the history of the object, I see we got a notice from the guard asking to bar access.
way/934671823/history

Has something changed recently?
Have you surveyed the place?

Hello,

Why do you write phone numbers like this? +32 2421 7070
And not like this? +32 2 421 70 70

Or this one too: +32 27 makes it look like "27" is the area code.

Hello,
Thanks but if you play with the oneway tag, please always ask yourself about whether "oneway:bicycle=no" should be added too.
Not setting it breaks cycle navigation.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Why did you remove several buildings to replace them with this big shape, tagged as building=yes?
way/1054353189

If I recall correctly, the restaurant is indeed quite big but spans over several small houses. In that case, you draw the restaurant as a large area, normally this is something you do well in other cases, that is why I am surprised here.

Those buildings had UrbIS ref numbers, where have they gone?

Hello,

A name like "SK62 - Van Hammée" gets detected as a multilingual name because it contains the " - " string.

If the name must absolutely be written like this, I suggest using the ndash character " – " instead.
Otherwise, I recommend the following scheme:
name=Van Hammée
ref=SK62

Hello,

If you want to change building outlines, please change the imagery and scroll down to AIV Flanders GRB. Never trace buildings on aerial imagery.
(Aerial imagery is distorted, it is okay for roads or crossings but buildings, especially tall ones, will have funny shapes and positions if you do that.)

Hope this helps.

Hello again,

I saw your other change.

If you don’t mind, I feel I should explain it again because I see come confusion here. I feel it’s not your fault, because the iD editor is supposed to be a simple editor for new users but it has become really messy and fails because the devs are pushing US or UK-centric tags that do not apply on the continent.

In general, it’s a best idea to ignore all the presets in the iD editor and only look at the tag box at the bottom of the window. Because tags are what goes into the database, this is what other users will see when you edit the map.

highway=crossing on a node is exclusively for places where *pedestrians* cross a road.

If a node is the intersection of a road and a cycleway, there will be *no* tags on the intersection itserf. If there are traffic signals, you just add traffic signals before the intersection, as we do for cars. highway=traffic_signals + traffic_signals=signal + traffic_signals:direction=forward|backward
(A simplified version, if we don’t have time or if imagery is not clear, is to tag the intersection itself as a single traffic_signal.)

No "bicycle=designated" stuff nor "crossing:light" tags (that’s for railways) and more.

node/2503031003 is a special case because the footway that crosses that road is tagged as a mixed foot- and cycleway. Since there are pedestrians, this node gets highway=crossing node, and we also added bicycle=yes here. (Can be used by apps to warn pedestrians they will not be alone.)

Hope this helps.
