Hi, welcome to OSM.

It looks like the 2-way bikeway /cycle track along Battery has already been mapped as a property of the street itself (see cycleway=*#Cycle_tracks for more info), and the way you drew is basically duplicating what's already on the map. You can get an idea of what bicycle infrastructure is already mapped by clicking on the layers button at the right side of the OSM website and looking at the "CyclOSM" or "Cycle Map" layers. CyclOSM is better but can be slow to load.

Hi, this track (and others like it) are already mapped as a multipolygon ( relation/7718577 in this case). It's not necessary to add leisure=track tags to the inner and outer ways as well.

For the denomination here I was going off of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_Orthodox_Tewahedo_Church

Is it actually correct to change this to "eritrean_orthodox"? I'm not an expert here, but these denomination names can sometimes be kind of sensitive.

"El Cerrito Plaza" is the name of the shopping center. The internal access roads and parking aisles don't have names.

highway=residential is also not an appropriate tag for these kinds of roads, which were already correctly tagged as highway=service.

Josm suddenly uploaded while I was typing the description. It should say:

Fixed inconsistent classification: Marin traffic doesn't divert onto Masonic, which is a fairly minor local street, whereas Marin is a major through route.

The tag you removed here and in the other changesets doesn't actually mean "motor vehicles are not allowed in the HOV lane", because it's modified by the other more specific hov=designated tag. Before this edit the tagging really meant that the only motor vehicles allowed are HOVs. Now the tagging implies that all motor vehicles are allowed, regardless of whether they are high-occupancy vehicles. In reality this is signed as "carpools only".

Hi joeeeew,
What's the deal with these two hardware stores you added on what look like ordinary houses? One of them is tagged as a Home Depot...

Hi BorjaMeep,
I've been to this station a few times, and don't recall there being a long corridor here.

Hi Alee11,

The campus has already been mapped at a much higher level of accuracy/detail than what you added. Unfortunately I had to revert your changeset. I would encourage you to look at what has already been mapped and add details to the existing data rather than trying to draw on top of it.

Hi Ganesh, none of the toll=yes tags you added around the Bay Area across several changesets were correct, as far as I can tell. You might want to double-check your other edits.

(Fyi, the bridges across San Francisco Bay are only tolled in one direction; there's no eastbound toll.)

It *is* specifically designed for pedestrians.

This was still here about 5 hours ago...

This seems wrong. Access=no means nobody can use it; these roads are obviously accessible to and being used by ground crew, etc., which would be access=private.

Please don't make test edits directly to OSM, thanks.

Hi,
Fyi, route=road relations are for things like numbered highway routes (such as Interstate 80, CA 123, etc) or the "49 Mile Scenic Drive" in SF. It's not necessary to create them for ordinary city streets.

Hi,

If this is private access only, it's much better to add access=private rather than deleting it entirely. If you delete it someone else will eventually notice it and re-add it, probably with less info than you could have provided. Also, if you know which part is a fire road and not just a narrow trail the way could be split up and re-tagged as highway=track to be more accurate.

This is not the correct way to map a street crossing a dual-carriageway road. It should have the same classification as the rest of the street, which in the case of West Street here would be highway=residential.

Hi,

This is not correct, and has been reverted in changeset/139422263

Hi,

I didn't look through all of the ways you edited here, but most of the ones I checked appeared to be legitimate alleys that were probably mistagged as highway=residential at some point, or were missing the highwaytag=* for whatever reason.

There are steps and a wheelchair ramp... IIrc there's normally also access through the indoor food court.
