yes Neil, we are improving OSM data to improve delivery programs of Amazon. You can find more information of our team from the following wiki: osm.wiki/Amazon_Logistics

Let us know if there any recommendations or suggestions that can improve our mapping process.

Hi NDM,

Again thanks for looking into our edits. I totally agree to your point on some of the roads being parking_aisles in this changeset. From our previous editing experience we noticed a bit of disconnect on judging a parking_aisel. Just to make sure wrong information is not added to OSM, we asked our editors not to map parking_aisel, but to add the primary tag i.e., `highway`=* if they are clear with it. Again the main intention for taking this decision is to make sure wrong data is not added to OSM by our team members.

Please let us know if you have any recommendations or suggestions. We are always happy to engage with local OSM community and learn from them.

Hi NDM,

Thanks for looking into our edits. Can I know what you meant by a loop in this case? Do you mean to split the road? From the Satellite imagery it looks like the complete segment belongs to one entity.

Do let us know if you have any recommendations or suggestions. We are always happy to engage with local OSM community and learn from them.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response. I agree with your point on adding short ways to replicate the values of a barrier. I have requested my team to avoid doing so going forward. Our team has taken this at high priority and reviewed our older edits and corrected 14 cases in Germany. Do let us know if any other such issues are found in our edits on OSM so we take that as our top priority and fix it immediately.

We strongly believe in working with OSM community in improving the geo data rather than following something that is incorrect. I agree, our team had committed few errors in the past, but those were not intentional. Every time we notice an error from our end, we take it seriously and fix it and change our mapping workflows to reflect the same in future edits. We do follow 100% review system to make sure best data is added to OSM.

Do let us know of your review findings so that we can work towards fixing these issues rather than reverting all the changesets. Please let us know if you have any recommendations or suggestions in such cases. We are always happy to engage with local OSM community and learn from them.

Jothirnadh

Hi Nakaner,

Thanks for the reaching out. There was a bollard blocking the entry of vehicles at this location so added `motor_vehicle=no` to improve the user safety.

Please let us know if you have any recommendations or suggestions in such cases. We are always happy to engage with local OSM community and learn from them.
