hi cartorhythm,
the tagging was certainly wrong before.
But as long as the road layout is not finished, I prefer highway=construction. It's easier to find and update when new Sat imagery is available. Therefore i retagged the roads as in construction again.

What are you doing here?

Hi Becky Candy,
mapping outside your tile is usually not a problem. You can just check in the tasking manager to see if anyone is working nearby. If you draw the roads to the end, you can avoid a lot of follow up mistakes.
From highway=motorway down to highway=tertiary,
most of the network in Africa is already drawn. And there is little dispute left about the classification. To achieve good routing for the rest of the road network, we need to differentiate somehow. Highway=unclassified + surface=unpaved for all the rest of the roads, is of no use. In my opinion, only the few roads that should be prioritized for routing are highway=unclassified. The rest is either track or service. A highway=unclassified is by definition suitable for all types of vehicles as long as there are no limiting tags applied. I don't think that can be guaranteed for most of the roads here. Also, HOT ignores the tagging habits of people who have a long term interest in this area.

Hi, I believe you are acting as a validator here. Can you explain to me why this roads are tagged as "unclassified"? And why you have not connected these roads to the rest of the network?

Hello,
by combining roads with different properties, you have severely compromised the functionality of the map throughout SA. (Destruction of turn relations, lane information etc). Please undo (revert) your changes as soon as possible.

Hello,
before you delete a street like this one:
way/848533843
Keep in mind that the sat images might be out of date,
load GPS data into your editor,
check the editing history,
zoom out of your tiny TM tile and check the wider area.

Do you have experience with the reverter plugin?

This is vandalism!
Stop it!

Gute Besserung

Hi ACTjignaspa, have you ever received feedback from a validator about your mapping?

Hi, I think something went wrong here. To me the whole intersection looks a bit screwed up.

Hello,
Please stop doing this. You have removed data from very experienced mappers and ignored a lot of error warnings

Hi pedrito1414, I was just wondering. In humanitarian mapping, a lot of the edits are related to specific companies. Usually it is typical hit-and-run mappers that are involved in these campaigns. In terms of #10090, it was.
#accenture most of the time. I've also seen #bloomberg and others. And there's always a small percentage of people adding fictional buildings. #Gomicron is not particularly special here.

Hi,
according to the project information page, all these projects in Zambia are dedicated for beginners and coordinated by HOT. I wonder how HOT is profiting from these #*company teams, given all the additional clean up efforts they cause? Here are some screen-shots of #10090, i took recently:

please do not sepearare buildings with shared walls

Zwei Reihen Häuser, dann eine am Reissbrett geplante Straße. Ich versuche soweit wie möglich den Straßenverlauf anhand der Häuserfronten abzuschätzen. Da sich hier immer noch Änderungen ergeben highway=construction. Falls der Straßenverlauf noch nicht erkennbar ist, sollten wir die nächste Aktualisierung der Hintergrundbilder abwarten. Bei highway=contruction kann man die unsicheren Straßen leicht finden und aktualisieren.

changeset/101857487

changeset/101857597
changeset/101857248

in such cases:
split the waterway and add tunnel=culvert + layer=-1 or split the road and add bridge=yes + layer=1
(allready done)
way/922863026
way/922861345/history
If running through the water: add ford=yes on the intersection node or the intersecting road segment

please be more careful. You have dragged away many highway nodes nodes and connected objects that should not be connected like here.
