Hey Paul, can you elaborate a bit more, please? This change set is 6 years old so it could be things have changed in Seattle since my tagging for sure. But especially during the pandemic these types of streets in the USA have become much more common. The OSM wiki even mentions Seattle by name. Is there a particular problem you’re trying to solve with the revert? _Nathaniel

I don't have strong opinions about which ways the relations wind their way thru, again my local knowledge is getting a little out of date.

For College Drive there is a wide side path east of US Route 1 leading to the Metro station, is that what you mean? That part of the road is pretty dangerous so makes sense to move the relation over to those ways.

Or in the main part of campus west of Route 1? I have less experience over there.

Generally road cyclists going on longer rides like to take roads not side trails and most route designations are on roads. /shrug

Hi ElliotPlack.

My guess (this is a changeset from 4 years ago!) is it's from https://www.bikemaryland.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/041206.pdf which is the Mid-Maryland bike map (I also have an old print copy of this map around), but there are a few others listed on https://www.bikemaryland.org/resources/riding/maps/ like https://www.bikemaryland.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Anacostia-Trail-Map-2012.pdf.

I used to live in Hyattsville MD for near 10 years so a good bit of this is from #localknowledge, too. I'm former chair of the Hyattsville Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Committee.

Are their particular roads we should look at? Generally the overall network looks correct to me but happy to dig into any one in more detail.

No problem! Mapping together, especially from afar and in different languages, can be hard but also rewarding and fun :) Cheers.

Hi! These are deliberate, semi common tags I added. Please see my diary about them:

It’d be great if you could restore them! Thanks :)
