Diacritic (2022-05-18 03:46:26+00:00): Hi Scott.

There are quite a few issues that I'd like to bring to your attention; I can see from your edit history that you are clearly a committed and passionate contributor. Unfortunately, this edit, along with a considerable amount of your previous edits, doesn't align with good mapping practice and makes routing data less accurate. 

1 - Roads and Highways should not be split if there is no physical separation. Instead, the lanes:, change: and turn: tags should be used to describe roads of different width and legal description.

In this edit, the correctly mapped intersection from Matthew has been lost.

2 - Preserve the history.
A lot of your edits involve deleting roads  or features and then redrawing them in a different shape. Please, do not do this. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Keep_the_history).

Aside from removing the history trail of these features, in many cases you have not added all the tags from the deleted object, essentially removing valid mapping data. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120499047.

The scale of these errors makes it almost impossible to easily restore this data.

3 - Roundabout modelling - Rather than creating multiple segments of "oneway" roads, you should follow the mapping advice documented at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout. In particular, note that nodes within a roundabout should not be shared, and that ways should not intersect.

The road flares leading to a roundabout should keep the name: tag of the street they split from, rather than being unnamed ways. The same applies for when you split a carriageway for a traffic island at an intersection.

4 - There are some features that you have deleted or removed without really explaining why. The Grassy Woodlands Conservation Habitat Link Project, which was added by a user who surveyed the area, was deleted in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/118301160 which simply had the changeset comment "added park". By using good changset comments (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_changeset_comments), it will help engage with other editors in your area and make collaboration a lot easier.

I've spent several hours trying to resolve some of the issues that varies edits have introduced, but there is still more work that needs to be resolved. Many of the bus relations need remedial work to reorder road segments (which is a very common issue when editing with iD, but is still time consuming!). Although this is a lot of words in one comment, I really want to encourage you to keep editing. Active contributors help keep everything up to date, and your time commitment is impressive. Mapping can be a difficult activity to complete individually, so I'd encourage you to also join the community at the talk-au mailing list or on discord (if you haven't already!).

If you have any questions or concerns about what I've raised here, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
