D’après carte officielle de Wallonie (PICC numerical imagery, vous pouvez le trouver en ouvrant l’éditeur et scroller dans la liste des fonds de carte) : "Quartier des Aulnes" pour cette rue.

Quelle source de vos informations svp ?

Source ???

Hello,

Pardon my curiosity but why "surveillance=yes" on a restaurant?

This is fairly unusual. Moreover, surveillance is essentially a namespace in OSM, we use it as a prefix for several items, most of them being "surveillance:type=camera".

Perhaps you meant "supervised=yes", which is often used on objects such as car parks. Honestly, I cannot figure out a reason for such a tag for a restaurant itself, but I prefer to ask you instead of bluntly removing it.

Have a nice day.

Hello,

I am afraid your data source is incorrect.

This street is located in Brussels, the capital of Belgium.

We are a bilingual city and all street names here are written in the two official languages, French and Dutch.

The name which you forced, "Van Souststraat", is only the Dutch version. This is not correct.

I see that another user promptly undid your changeset to restore the proper name.

Don’t worry about street names in our area, everything is already properly set and actively monitored.

You are right, the mistake in the address comes from an earlier changeset.

Hello,

Thanks for adding more information, but please fix the address: it is not acceptable to write street names only in one language. Street names must always match the official name (two languages in Brussels).

One more thing: if you add an address to a POI, only the street and housenumbers should be entered. It is not needed to write the postcode and name of the municipality: in Belgium we have already drawn all the postcode zones and every point within a zone is automatically recognised with the correct postcode. (Even better: if the POI is located within a building that already has an address, you don’t even need to fill the address, because it will "inherit" the one from the building automatically.) Good time savers to know!

If you are talking about cycle routing, indeed most apps seem to ignore this path. My bet is that the problem is not here but with the service road around the roundabout, which was tagged as a parking aisle—which it isn’t—and most cycle routers are coded to ignore parking aisles.

I fixed the tags on the service roads, it should work now.

(Perhaps wait a few days because most engines like OSRM or GraphHopper refresh their source data only a few times a week.)

Hello,

Do not add "access=yes" to a bollard.
That would merely grants access to *every* type of vehicle.

In this case here, it won’t make a difference for routing because there are only footways here (i.e. only pedestrians can come here) but it’s a good habit to have: access=yes on a bollard across a road would be understood as access granted.

To answer your question: do you have an example of a shop with such an address?

Thanks for writing back.

Two things here: I saw that in newer edits you’ve just started removing EVERY address from the map (example here: node/2620319603/history)

I want to repeat:
* If the shop is located inside a building that has a single address, THEN (and only in that case) there isn’t any address on the shop.
(node/4841958843 is good because the restaurant is inside building with housenumber 32)

* Consequently, if the shop is located inside a large building with multiple address, you SHOULD put an address on the shop (street and housenumber only).
(node/10008817173 is bad because the building has no address, since there are 3 addresses here: 18 20 20A)

Hello,

Your bakery will be invisible on the map.

You must add a proper tag for it.
Namely "shop=bakery".
Otherwise it won’t work.

Happy mapping.

Hello,

Thanks for the recent changes.

I noticed you fill some extra tags for POI on the database. Perhaps it’s because you are using the iD editor, which automatically offers several text boxes.

In Belgium, we should *never* fill the postcode and municipality. Those zones are automatically generated on the map.

Also, if the cafe (or anything) is located within a building that has a single address on it, like this one, you don’t even have to fill the street name and housenumber either, because those tags will be automatically assigned to the POI too. (If people search an object on the database, it will return the correct address even if the address is not set on the POI itself.)

It’s not your fault, I see it’s very tempting to fill every box. This is because the iD editor was designed to be used in every part of the world.

Hope this helps.

OK, thanks for writing good changeset titles now.

We have the "dual tagging" problem now: the cycle track was drawn as an extension of the main road (way/41220235), and now you have drawn a separate line for it.

It should be one or the other: if you want to draw cycle tracks separately, that is fine (but it’s hard to do properly, especially at intersections, people frequently forget some connections and it can seriously damage cycle routing) but in that case you should remove the cycleway tag from the main road.

Don’t worry, I know this area too and I’ll try to fix it in the next days.

Hello,

5.9 meters seems quite substandard to accomodate motor traffic in two directions and a parking lane.

According to the wiki, "width" is not just the carriageway (which is probably 5.9 meters; I guess you measured it yourself) but the entire street including parking lanes.
width=*?uselang=en#Width_of_streets

What you do you think?

Hello, momozza,

I think you might improve your changeset titles a little. It will make it easier for people reviewing the map. (Yes, some other mappers are routinely looking at the list of all recent changes in a given area.)

If we open the list of changes and we see things like "Was there for a few days", "I walked by there and took a few pictures", or "Local knowledge", there is absolutely no way of knowing what you did on the map. It will then require to investigate every changeset one by one.

On this one, I would suggest something like "Added a few restaurants and bars in downtown Sarlat-la-Canéda". Feel free to write it differently, as long as someone who will see the list of changes will quickly understand the overall content of the changeset.

Upon uploading, you might also fill the "source" field and use it to mention that it was during your trip. (Thanks for mentioning you were there, because changes obtained through a real survey are globally seen as more reliable than pure armchair mapping.)

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Could you please consider adding a proper title for your changesets.

It looks like your latest changesets are (semi-)mechanical edits aimed at adding surface=asphalt to ways tagging as highway=motorway. Am I right?

It’s perfectly fine to make such edits but it would be appreciated—and would also save time for your fellow mappers who are monitoring recent changes—if you could briefly explain what your changeset is about.

"no comment" sounds a bit like "it’s none of your business" :-(

Thanks in advance.

If names in other languages are identical to the "name" tag, you may simply delete them. It makes little sense to keep all a collection of name:* tags if they don’t bring anything.

Dit stuuk ook?

Hello and welcome to OSM.

I see you requested a review of this changeset.

Your edit is good. You added the name of a company on a building, and this is fine. Of course, only if A&C Systems is the only company using this building.

Anyone who types the name of the company will now find it.
osm.org/search?query=A%2526C%20systems

If you want, you can also edit it again: under the address you can add a description of the type of business they do, or a link to their website, that might be useful.

Merci. Nous avons corrigé aussi.
Important : Si une rue devient oneway il faut aussi mettre les exceptions vélo (oneway:bicycle=no).
Si vous ne mettez pas, alors le cycle routing est cassé car il ne sait pas que les rues sont des SUL.
Nous avons vu aussi que suite CLM Cureghem ont été mis des panneaux M12 et pas M2, donc on va aussi regarder si ce sont ces panneaux-là ici, parce qu'on doit aussi ajouter mofa et speed pedelec aux exceptions si oui.
Happy mapping!
