Thank you for reverting your changes! Have a nice day!

Okay, but the previous tagging with highway=secondary already highlights these roads as main roads, so your change doesn’t seem necessary at all.

New day, new prudence:

Apparently, recreational and tourist facilities are important enough to upgrade a road that should otherwise be secondary/tertiary to primary. I forgot one little detail from the wiki’s highway=primary definition: “Often connect larger towns.” – “often” doesn’t mean “always”, as AB 66 is an exception!

However, the sudden primary to tertiary transition in the southwest still bothers me a bit (and it is flagged by Osmose) – maybe downgrade the final quarter of AB 66 to secondary to ease the road class transition?

AB 66 doesn’t connect nearly enough larger settlements to be classified as highway=primary, therefore I have previously downgraded it to secondary and tertiary.

I dislike your change of reverting it back to primary, probably with the motivation of “official classifications” even though OSM road classes are generally supposed to represent traffic importance, which this road doesn’t have very much of.

Do you have any proof that the four sections of road you edited should be primary instead of secondary? It’s very inconsistent with other nearby roads!

What if I shorten the motorway sections to end exactly at the intersections connecting them to the primary roads? My suggestion is for the motorway to end at osm.org/go/WL7kRfgbX--?m= (east) and osm.org/go/WL7Oyj_8P--?m= (west).

Thanks, and have a nice day (and life)! Bless you!

You’ve changed Whoop-Up Drive into a highway=motorway. However, since this doesn’t appear to be an official motorway, a better tagging might be highway=primary + motorroad=yes, and I want to change Whoop-Up Drive into this tagging.

Reverted my changes, Old US Route 66 is now highway=primary again: changeset/176936365

Interesting – I am unable to see a mini roundabout on May 2021 Bing Streetside and March–July 2024 Bing Aerial imagery. Maybe it has been built just weeks to months after the aerial imagery was taken.

One more thing: You specified direction=clockwise, which is usually found in countries with left-hand traffic and therefore unusual for the United States, where direction=anticlockwise is the norm.

Should I change the Old US Route 66 back to primary, then?

Doug Shidell, are you sure there’s even a mini roundabout here to begin with? Cannot see one on 2024 aerial imagery.

For your info: The access restrictions you described don’t warrant a highway=motorway tag. In the future, please use motorroad=yes instead, with bicycle=no and foot=no for good measure (as I did in my changeset: changeset/176865082).

(Traducción al español al final, ya que prefiero comunicarme en inglés)

Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap! As you noticed, anyone with an account can edit the roads and other map features.

You’ve changed the residential road to be a trunk road – you were probably experimenting and accidentally published the edit to the public map. If you did this on purpose, e.g. if this road is really important to you, it is incorrect: highway=trunk is the OpenStreetMap tag for an expressway (not quite a motorway, but close). You can read more about it here: osm.wiki/ES:Tag:highway=trunk

To make yourself more familiar with the matter, I suggest you to read the Beginners’ tutorial (in Spanish): osm.wiki/ES:Beginners'_guide

Also, I have reverted (undone) your change: changeset/176823751
Please refrain from doing such edits in the future.

¡Hola y bienvenido a OpenStreetMap! Como habrás notado, cualquier persona con una cuenta puede editar las carreteras y otras características del mapa.

Cambiaste la carretera residencial para convertirla en una carretera principal; probablemente estabas experimentando y publicaste accidentalmente la edición en el mapa público. Si hizo esto a propósito, p. Si esta carretera es realmente importante para usted, es incorrecta:
highway=trunk es la etiqueta de OpenStreetMap para las carreteras más importantes que no son autopistas, pero están cerca de ellas. Puedes leer más al respecto aquí: osm.wiki/ES:Tag:highway=trunk

Para familiarizarte más con el tema te sugiero leer el tutorial para principiantes (en español): osm.wiki/ES:Beginners'_guide

Además, he revertido (deshecho) su cambio: changeset/176823751
Absténgase de realizar este tipo de modificaciones en el futuro.

Ooh, now I get it, the main issue is the clockwise/anticlockwise confusion!

You’re welcome!

However, I’m still curious as to which “older software” doesn’t support standalone junction=roundabout tagging. On the Forum, you’ve already mentioned scientific studies, but here, you referred to software in particular.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the info, I’ll consider this in the future.
Should I re-add oneway=yes to the roundabouts where I removed it? Or is it sufficient to leave it untouched wherever I encounter it?

[Français en dessous]

I think something went wrong at way/1427966242: The right primary road should connect to the junction center, not the footway crossing.

I’ve fixed the issue for you: changeset/171730377

Je pense que quelque chose a mal tourné sur way/1427966242: La bonne route principale devrait se connecter au centre de jonction, pas au passage à pied.

J'ai résolu le problème pour vous: changeset/171730377

Dieses Tag muss mal gründlich diskutiert werden (bevorzugt auf Englisch): https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/composting-plant-as-new-id-tagging-schema-kompostierungsanlage-als-neues-id-taggingschema/130729
