Hey ratrun,
I can see you deleted a couple of ways, which were added just 2 days ago by a fellow mapper based on GPX tracks. Have you been there within the last days and can provide any more recent sources why you think those ways are not existent?

Otherwise I kindly ask you to restore those ways. Have a nice day.

Not sure what you mean by messy. They were matching to the latest HiRes aerials from Oakland County. If you spot something odd and are not interested in fixing it with the same level of detail, feel free to add notes.

For sure, I just reverted those changes to the road geometry. The rest of your clean up in the area looked good to me, so I didn't touch them.

Hey Hyposometic, please stop with your deletion and simplification of OSM data. In several changesets you replaced detailed turning cycles with simplified notes. That's not appreciated. I will revert those changesets.

osm.wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Pedestrian_Working_Group/Guide
gives a good description on sidewalks, crossings and related stuff.

Btw. the new 2025 Oakland County aerials are out, which you might want to use instead of the 2023 version. Though seems iD hasn't updated the default layers yet

Hey Trail_Caretaker,
it seems, you have joined in this change set a couple of ways, which had different tags. Especially the cycleway along Long Lake Road was split in sections to separate the sidepath from the crossing sections.

I fixed this in changeset/177200060.

You might as well join the discussion on: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/sidewalk-on-cyclepath/138915/18

Hey jaspinal, please review your changes. It seems you mass-edited those cycle paths. A lot of ways which should be either footway=crossings or cycleway=crossing are now falsely tagged as footway=sidewalk.

Please take more care while editing in the future and review each element one-by-one.

I don't care which key used for the timezones in Germany, but please keep the standard time zone as well as the dst-zone.

@EvanSiroky, it seems you are not plannign to remove that historcal data, so I did it for you.

Hey EvanSiroky, OSM is not the proper location to store historical data. Please remove this relation. You might want to maintain it within OHM project.

Danke für deinen Hinweis. Habe das Problem soeben behoben.

Hallo OMME-OSM,
gab es einen Grund die Stopposition von Node node/3002554833 zu entfernen? Bitte in Zukunft etwas vorsichtiger vorgehen bei deinen Bearbeitungen. Danke!

Hey OMME-OSM,
in dem Changeset hast du die stop_positions der Bushaltestelle der TEAG entfernt. Ich habe sie nun wieder eingetragen. Bitte dich aber, ein wenig drauf zu achten, keine Daten einfach so zu löschen. Weiterhin Happy Mappings.

Wäre super, wenn du deine Änderungen mit einer ordentliche Beschreibung versehen würdest, sodass man weiß, was du geändert hast. "Ist so" ist da wenig hilfreich. Danke.

Hey, bitte schaue doch beim nächsten Mal, wenn du Wege verbindest auch nach den Relationen. Du hast mit dem Zusammenführen der Kreisverkehre diverse Busrelationen kaputt gemacht.

Discussion continues here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/us-route-relations/122274

Thanks for the hint. I updated the areas accordingly.

route=bicycle#Members
as well just "allowing" ways in route-relations and recommends for longer routes route=bicycle#Split_routes_into_sections
the usage of superroute to combine the sections.
Read "international" in the context of the rest of the world, where a route of 1000 miles length is usually international.
