Hi, Ian. Did you have a question about this changeset?

WHAT??? Who are you calling moron, imbecile?????

Oh yeah? Who are you calling idiot, moron?

Who are you calling dum, idiot?

Dude, you're dum. D-U-M dum. You left off the speed limit units!

Hi Anastasia. You are correct--these are open again now. I had planned to go back through them all in early March and "reopen" them on OSM, but other events led me to forget. I'll try to remove that access=no tag on them this weekend, but if you find any I miss, don't hesitate to fix my error.

Regards,
Jack

Good catch, Trent. Thank you.

Hi mueschel,

Yes, I'm aware of those. The problem (which this particular change isn't a good example of) is that there are different weight limits depending on axle configuration, not just "hgv:trailer". As an example, here's a weight limit sign with 2 different restrictions for a 3-axle truck, depending on the weight distributions of the axles: https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/sNPIyJlEMpgJ-jrmSktPeA

And I've come across quite a few more with 3 or 4 different weight limits for 5-axle trucks, all of which are large tractor-trailer setups.

In other words, the current maxweight tagging scheme is insufficient to handle the actual truck configurations that drive on the roads. This came up in the osmus Slack channel a while back, with a long-time editor mentioning that he was going to update the wiki with a basic maxweight scheme for axles, until I showed him some of the signs that are posted.

Doodlebugz is a little more varied than just "interior decoration." That said, I guess it's as good of a tag as any other. Interior decoration, gift shop...several tags could apply to it. It's almost a boutique, really.

Hi Linley. It wouldn't surprise me at all that the roads were renamed. But, if you want, I can try to go through the area in a couple of weekends and verify the road names.

Hi pattamaa. Thanks for the response. Editing OSM is very much a learning process, one that I'm reminded of every time I find an early edit of mine that was clearly in error. Even now years later, I seem to make odd mistakes that I can't explain.

Hi Claudius! Just a note to say thanks for fixing a goof of mine. No idea how I ended up putting the name in the religion field....

Hi debott! That residential road that you changed to driveway...looks like it should be a residential road. There appear to be houses along it.

Hi Jackson,

This temporary lane is not outdated. It is still very much in use, and will be for the foreseeable future. I'm going to revert this changeset in order to restore the lane. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Feel free to look for anything else I might have missed!

I'm trying to get highway 45 updated all the way from the town of State Line, Mississippi, to I 20. I have (mediocre) street-level imagery in the northbound direction, along with a bunch of voice notes I recorded in OsmAnd. I hope to be able to capture southbound imagery in the next few months. Once I get a couple of good southbound passes, and at least one good, clear northbound pass, I'm planning to start doing my Tiger review of the highway.

Hi GerdP. Thanks for catching that--I must have tabbed out of the value field too quickly and iD didn't autofill the whole field. I usually catch it when that happens.

It doesn't look very residential to me at all--there are no houses on the road. Thus, I've changed it to Unclassified, which is the general guidance for a road in this scenario. I also changed that highway=residential stub to highway=service, service=driveway.

Again, thanks for catching my error!

Hi Jan, the earlier keys were my doing, and are likely the incorrect ones. Georgia definitively puts a space in the name, so it is "Peach Pass" and not PeachPass (like Florida's SunPass without a space). And since nothing else is capitalized in tag value fields (the credit card is written amerian_express in OSM and not American_Express), I switched to nc_quick_pass instead of using capital letters. I documented these payment methods with the "new" spelling in the wiki, and will try to find and change the older ones.

Fixed. Thanks.

Hi. It must be a typo, because I don't know of a key named that. I'll fix it the next time I'm at a computer. Thanks for catching it.

I'm take "fictional stuff and funny names" for $1,000, Alex.
