I've reversed the change to "contruction" from "proposed" between Katoomba and Mt Victoria as there is no construction.

absolute legend

Hi, thanks for your edits. I'm wondering what the source for way/1270653098 is as it does not appear on imagery and seems dubious.
Cheers

Hi, I was under the impression that the GWH upgrade project was paused, do you have any info regarding the edit to the section between medlow bath and katoomba?

I think `motor_vehicle=private` `foot=designated` `bicycle=designated` is sufficient, considering `motor_vehicle=private` encompasses the only significant access restriction

Hi, I feel like the access=no tag on way/22731635 is ambiguous given that foot=designated. Just confirming, it is accessible by foot? I understand there is a gate at the western entrance to Ingar Road that can be bypassed on foot but restricts access to cars.

I have marked all trails on 3 Binstead Street and 58 Sir Henrys Parade as private.

Hi, this looks like a suspicious edit as I cannot see evidence for these roads. Please make sure you do not upload test data or false data.

I think this has erased a lot of the landuse=residential here. Should it be added back as multiple multipolygons?

Sounds good msleath, I think that matches up with how it is now.
Regarding the visualisation;
OpenStreetMap under the hood is more like a "database" rather than a finished map.
What you see on the standard view of this website is just one possible representation ("rendering") of the data, kind of like a font. Many organisations use OpenStreetMap data and then create their own map style.

The line weights generally represent the importance of a road. Railway Pde is a tertiary road. Frenchmens Road is residential road which is your normal street. Waterfall Road is an unspecified service road (speckled appearance indicates unpaved) which usually indicates a graded access road, and often these are used for roads that do not have formal reserves. The brown dotted line is a "track" which is typically an ungraded access track that is possibly unsuitable for regular traffic/low clearance cars. Aharvey has changed the Bunjaree cottages access track to a "driveway" service road, which is emphasised lower than Waterfall Road but higher than "track".
I understand there may be some overlap and ambiguity between some of these classifications, it's really up to individual discretion in most cases.

Good morning. Last night I moved the name tag for Bunjaree Cottages towards the Railway Pde entrance. The track itself should remain unnamed but it should now be clear that that is the correct access rather than via Frenchmens Rd (those tracks are now marked private). Note that it might take some time for the map tiles to update and display correctly.

As the others have said, the best practice is to map the ground truth because that is the objective of OSM, rather than cloning the council GIS.
See: osm.wiki/Ground_truth
I did the survey to specifically check whether the Waterfall Road sign was still on the pole (it is) which is why that name was reinstated by user nevw. I didn't touch any of the Frenchmens Road ways.
I understand there is no official road reserve for Waterfall Road, but still support the decision to retain the name. Generally we also do not mark ways as "private" unless they are specifically signposted as such; in this case there is no indication on the ground that any of these easements are private. As volunteers we don't go through title info for every ambiguous road reserve, of which there are plenty in the mountains. The best way to alert us to possible problems is to discuss it as here, where we can fix it quickly easily, or you can right-click the map and choose "Add a note here" with your concerns expressed clearly.

Hi, I am a local mapper who surveyed this area on 24th March. I appreciate your clarification here msleath. I didn't find any indication of private property aside from the mailbox for 1 Frenchmens Rd at the left fork - this is probably the same reason past mappers have mistakenly thought that Frenchmens Road continued eastward, providing access to number 14 and the Bunjaree Cottages. I have removed the Name tags for the easement past the intersection at Waterfall Road, tagged it as private and made it more clear that the cottages are to be accessed from Railway Pde.
Hopefully this solves the issue.

Hi, I understand that there isn't an official dedicated road reserve for Waterfall Road. However OSM records the "ground truth" and a survey found that the Waterfall Road sign is still in place. Also, given that some houses are still addressed as such, I think it would be appropriate to reinstate the name Waterfall Road for way/55547043.

Thanks, not sure how that happened haha. I'll sort it out

MTB names should be added under `mtb:name` tag rather than `name`; this will also make it less likely to be deleted

Good to know, thanks. I'll have a look for the ones I did recently. Any plans for an iD preset?

fixed in changeset/160113482

Hi, this appears to have misplaced the positions of a number of benches. For example the bench at Gordon Falls lookout (node/9376264218) is now 75 metres from the correct location.
