Hi, Varthur Road is not under construction. Could you elaborate on the ground truth used here, since it doesn't seem to match with what is on the ground?

Hi, thank you for your changes! I reclassified this section as highway=trunk + expressway=yes, because as far as I can tell, it is a national highway, not an expressway. It uses the standard green NH signs, and doesn't have the expressway signage at any point. See osm.wiki/India/Tags/Highway . As you noted, it provides local access at Porur too. I would say the whole road needs to be classified as trunk.

Hi, this way was already correctly tagged as a footpath. Could you elaborate on why it was re-tagged as a service road? I'm not clear what ground truth was used here, since there is no public imagery or news to the contrary

Last time I passed through here a month ago, I noticed some construction activity, so I presume the construction tag would be correct. Have the earth works not started?

Hi, I seem to have made a typo, it is meant to be auto_rickshaw=no wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:auto_rickshaw . I will fix it

No problem, happy mapping!

We always use highway=trunk for National Highways, regardless of if its a dual carriageway or not. For divided roads, you can always add dual_carriageway=yes. This allows routers to properly prioritize driving on National Highways, which are typically faster and better maintained than State Highways. It also makes it easy to differentiate highways on the map visually.

No worries, you can refer to the wiki in the future for reference: osm.wiki/India/Tags/Highway

Hi, I see you have reclassified the roads as primary. These are designated National Highways (NH966) and should be classified as `highway=trunk`, as they were before

Hi, as mentioned in the last changeset comment, this road is a designated National Highway. It should be classified as trunk. Please do not reclassify it

Hi, could you please stop adding access=no on all footpaths? It is completely redundant and actually messes up cycle routing, as mentioned previously. Also it would help if changesets are more local, rather than having changes that affect small roads across three cities

Hi, I noticed that NH766EE has been misclassified as tertiary. It should be classified as a trunk highway, as it was previously. The road has a ref tag too. Please revert to the previous classification

Hi, thanks for catching that, it was supposed to be building:levels=10

Hi, I'm curious, why was the road surface deleted? It is correct to the best of my knowledge

Hi, I see you reclassified NH352A as motorway from trunk. While it is access controlled, it does not have the motorway Vienna convention sign, which is why I had reclassified it to trunk. In my opinion a more appropriate tag would be highway=trunk + expressway=yes, since highway=motorway would have legal implications (in India its not permissible for cycles/bikes/mopeds to use expressways with the motorway sign, as per MORTH). There is a relevant discussion on the community forum: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/classifying-expressways-in-india/123387/11

Also wiki link for Indian road classification, which I updated recently based on the community forum discussion: osm.wiki/India/Tags/Highway

Hi Bitsu, I'm not sure on what "evidence" these edits were made. 1. footways do not need `access=no`, with foot=yes. This is implicit in highway=footway. 2. We don't need horse access tags. 3. These ways are designated cycleways. Removing `bicycle=designated` is blatantly incorrect. These kinds of incorrect edits with regards to access are impeding cycle and pedestrian routing in the city. Please do NOT change access tags on footways and cycleways unless there is actual signage in contradiction to the existing OSM tags. I have reverted these changes.

Hi,

National Highways should always be classified as highway=trunk, in this case the airport approach road is supposed to be NH166S, so it should be a trunk road. The new classification as secondary is incorrect.

Hi, thank you for the change set. I see you re-classified NH785 as motorway. I had classified it as trunk because it doesn't use the standard signage to indicate its a motorway. It is simply a flyover on top of an existing road. There is a discussion here on reclassifying "expressways" in India here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/classifying-expressways-in-india/123387

Hi, this road does not exist. There is no such road present. At best there are two tracks, but neither are motorable or permanent. Both are used only by heavy construction vehicles.

Hi, this way is not "superfluous", I had even left a note stating as much. Please do NOT edit features with out checking the notes field first.
