This changeset was uploaded in error. I meant to upload the changes to Hampstead separate.

hey DUGA, traffic_signals=traffic_lights is not a known value for traffic lights. Use traffic_signals=signal per traffic_signals=*

I will update node/102880848

Wrong changeset name! Should have been: deleted unused way

Thank you for adding these! MDOT SHA is actively using OSM crosswalk data for analysis. We're also working on updating protected bicycle infrastructure like what you've added here, so this is perfect. I've been working on getting this into an OSM challenge for updates here: https://maproulette.org/browse/challenges/21234

fixed

Still closed today though the sidewalk is open. What sort of proprietary sources are we talking about for closures? The local governments maintain their own closure data.

Looks like I missed the existing node because it was outside of a buffer. I’ll move the one you cited to the center and fix

Good edit here. Noticed and was going to add this

saw these path ways today in my (similar) travels :) Nice work adding! When adding footways like this (or any "highway" feature, be sure to connect them to an adjacent highway.

In this case the level1 abstraction level would be to simply connect them to the roads, but since there is a sidewalk there, and a curb blocking wheeled access, you could go deeper if you want and add the sidewalk--or you could add a curb object to indicate there is an obstruction there. Either way, at least connect it to something nearby. That lets routing tools work. Cheers! Elliott

And downgraded thanks to ID's friendly button for that changeset/110942706

see changeset/110938331#map=19/39.39746/-76.56837

Just reverted changeset/110942674

Oops this was supposed to be a note. It is out of business but OsmAnd seems to have made the edit

Hello there and thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap. In OSM, place classifications are not based on the name, but rather their relative importance and population. See the wiki article on place=city

> Use the place=city tag to identify the largest settlement or settlements within a territory, including national, state and provincial capitals, and other major conurbations.

In Maryland we typically use the town for places between 10 and 50k population.

> As of mid 2019, 63% of place=city have a population=* tag, of which the median value is 130,000, and 95% of place=city have a population=* value over 20,000

Mt Rainer was therefore classified village.

Nice work finding these! I missed them last night on my walk, too dark :D

Agree 100% and thank you for bringing this up. I've started the conversation on the OSM US Slack and will bring it up in the lists, and with those other communities. I'll poke around at some of these other options already in use as well. Perhaps I could join forces by the Minn. folks.

Hey there, sorry this comment slipped through my emails but I wanted to reply. The LTS score is a quantitative measure of the traffic stress a bicycle rider would feel.

I haven't found any osm documentation yet so I've been adding the tag with the hope of proposing a standard on the wiki. I believe it would be a good candidate for mapping since the formula is based on highway characteristics and nothing subjective, (perhaps) unlike the sac_scale or something like that.

In this case, a road separated bicycle path is the lowest possible stress score, zero.

Here's some more info. What do you think?

Hi Marc, thanks for the updates along York Road here. I performed the previous edit (8 years ago) and realize that my use of highway=service was incorrect, according to the wiki. I will make the update to highway=residential per

> Note: This is not a tag for frontage road, sometimes called a service road. That should be tagged depending on what function the frontage road serves.

highway=service

Here is a good guide on all things OSM bicycle infrastructure that you will find useful in your future mapping! https://tordans.github.io/OSM-Bike-Berlin-Tagging-Guide/ (it is for Berlin, DE based on some work in Ottawa CA, but also based on the PeopleForBikes Standard that evolved some years ago)
