stephsteph (2025-07-01 00:58:05+00:00): We got a complaint on a journey plan from a translink customer about them being told to cross here instead of the signalised intersection and therefore weren't given enough time to get to the train station. Openstreetmap actually has the function to not suggest crossing at segments so I wanted to take advantage of that. Google and Hastus don't have this level of detail available.
aharvey (2025-07-01 05:04:47+00:00): Thanks for the context, and I can see the issue that most routing engines will still route along the road in addition to or instead of the dedicated mapped footpath network. I can understand why though, since not everywhere has the footpaths mapped out and many places there are no footpaths so it must route you along the road.

From a data point of view I just don't thing crossing=no is needed, does it mean you aren't allowed to cross or just that there's no dedicated infrastructure to cross.

If the crossing=no is to mean you aren't allowed to cross then that's incorrect, from a road rules point of view you're only forbidden to cross within 20m of a crossing, which around here is really only between the bus stop at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/356553525 and the intersection of Milton/Grimes. Further along to the south/west you are allowed to cross.

If the crossing=to is to mean there is no dedicated infrastructure to cross, that's already implied by the lack of a highway=crossing node around here.

I don't think the common routing engines take crossing=no along a way into account for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=fossgis_valhalla_foot&route=-27.474418%2C152.994533%3B-27.476593%2C152.996762#map=18/-27.475192/152.995643&layers=N still seems to cross the road there (while these don't update straight away, I think they have updated their data by now).

I'm not sure what routing engine and profile you're using on your Journey Planner or how often you ingest data updates but it still crossing here https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/journey-planner?searchDate=2025-07-01&searchTime=3%3A00pm&startLocationId=PL%3AEilNdW5ybyBTdHJlZXQsIEF1Y2hlbmZsb3dlciBRTEQsIEF1c3RyYWxpYSIuKiwKFAoSCXsKrLO4UJFrEXh1YkOolqpEEhQKEglHzWClr1CRaxEAf97zWqMCBQ&start=Munro+Street%2C+Auchenflower+QLD&endLocationId=ST%3Aplace_aucsta&end=Auchenflower+station&timeSearchMode=LeaveAfter&maximumWalkingDistance=4000&walkingSpeed=Normal&fareTypes=Free&fareTypes=Prepaid&fareTypes=Standard&serviceTypes=Express&serviceTypes=NightLink&serviceTypes=Regular&serviceTypes=School&transportModes=Bus&transportModes=Ferry&transportModes=Train&transportModes=Tram

Likely the solution likes with the routing engine in the profile rules, to weight more strongly against crossing where there is no highway=crossing so it'll still do so if you're in an area with no footpaths mapped, but it'll prefer taking you on a bit of a detour to cross at a designated crossing.
aharvey (2025-07-01 05:14:02+00:00): Indeed when I tried with https://brouter.de/brouter-web/ here it also tried to cross the road where there's no crossing but I customised the routing profile (increasing path_preference from 0 to 20) and then it avoided crossing at the non-crossing instead re-routing me along the mapped footpaths and through the designated crossing.

So essentially I think this issue is best addressed in your routing engine profile and it's not really an issue with how the data is mapped in my view.
aharvey (2025-07-03 02:46:47+00:00): hi, it's good practice to try ad retain the history of existing features https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Keep_the_history

So the preferences is to update what exists rather than delete and re-add them.

A number of railway lines here have been deleted only to be re-added at the same location when you could just update the tags.

For some of the deleted sections like https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/94893247 it would be better to update the tags to clarify what's there. We have a vast range of lifecycle prifex https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix. For example are the tracks still present but currently disused, are they razed or removed or destroyed? Even if they are completly gone, you could still keep them as was:railway while image still shows them otherwise other mappers map re-add them from imagery.
citrula (2025-06-27 15:52:00+00:00): Welcome to OSM, and thanks for your contribution.

The warnings that iD shows are not necessarily issues which can be fixed blindly - you need to look at each on a case-by case basis.

In this edit you changed 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2405398627
from being named "Costa Brava Bistro" to a branch of a British coffee chain. This isn't correct - let me know if you need help fixing that.
Also it is Wilmington Drive, not Wilmington Street :)

happy mapping!
❤️‍🔥 (2025-06-27 12:25:39+00:00): hey, i think your JOSM settings might be misconfigured, looks like you've added source=esri to >100,000 nodes in the past few days: see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/26Q0 and https://osmstats.neis-one.org/?item=countries&country=New%20Zealand where I noticed the spike

I believe it's a common issue for JOSM users, but i don't know any more than that
catgirlseraid (2025-06-27 15:26:42+00:00): Im not sure whats going on here either, I'll try look into it more. The spikes are all legitimate edits, I have been importing a lot of LINZ buildings recently, and have creates a pretty fast workflow for verifiying them. What seems to have happened is that mapwithai josm plugin has added source=esri to the nodes on new buildings I've uploaded. These are all new nodes so it hasnt created any more edits than expected but im not sure why these nodes have had the source tag added.
❤️‍🔥 (2025-06-28 04:12:09+00:00): yeah no stress, but maybe chat with some folks who use JOSM, I've seen this type of problem before, but I don't use JOSM so I can't tell ya which setting is wrong

i removed that tag from https://osm.org/changeset/168211778 & subsequent changestes
catgirlseraid (2025-06-28 08:00:40+00:00): thanks for removing the additional tags!
catgirlseraid (2025-06-28 08:05:25+00:00): For further context for anyone else looking into this, this seems to be caused by the mapwithai JOSM plugin rather than JOSM itself. The source tags were added at upload so I never got a chance to see them. It's also been very intermittent, only happening to some changesets. I've been having several issues with my current workflow involving mapwithai for importing LINZ buildings, when they affect the uploaded data that isn't acceptable so I've stopped importing for now until I can find a better workflow.

b-jazz (2025-06-27 04:43:16+00:00): RE: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1409641303

The lines that define fairways, greens, bunkers, water hazards, and tees should never intersect (partially overlap) each other and we noticed that they are overlapping in one or more of the feature pairs in this changeset. If there is no obvious fringe around the green, the fairway should butt up against the green and every node between them should be *shared*. If there is a fringe around the green that is similar to the fairway, the fairway should extend around the green and the two objects should be merged together into a multipolygon (See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:multipolygon for how to create them with your map editor).  Please read the wiki for instructions and examples of how to better map golf courses: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dgolf_course#Common_mapping_pitfalls. If you have any questions, please reply here and I'll gladly help clarify things. Thanks!

I'm surprised that it made the edit in 2 steps (version 4 and 5) and that it did not remove the linkswikipedia and wikidata tags of the old school (I corrected it, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/168149799 ). Can you please explain what you did, and how you added the website of the new school? Then I can report it to StreetComplete developers as a bug.
dinuxeu (2025-06-26 18:31:24+00:00): > I'm surprised that it made the edit in 2 steps (version 4 and 5) ...

It was me. I forgot to add a note the first time that this is the Drujba building. The school also has another building in Mladost.

> ... it did not remove the linkswikipedia and wikidata tags of the old school.

I never saw those old tags in StreetComplete. I had to tap the "plus" icon to add the new web address.
rhhs (2025-06-26 18:41:15+00:00): > I never saw those old tags in StreetComplete.

It doesn't show them, to keep it simple for inexperienced users. It correctly removed other tags you can't see (branch, opening hours, phone, website) so I'm surprised it didn't remove wikipedia and wikidata tags.

> I had to tap the "plus" icon to add the new web address. 

The plus icon is only to add names in other languages. The "International" (int_name) tag is used in Bulgaria to add the name transliterated to Latin script (i.e. it is still Bulgarian language but Latin script according to the official transliteration law)

A remark, You tend to oversize the buildings you map. Stay within the rooflines. These huts have an overhang, so they show to be bigger than they are.
Don't forget to square the rectangular buildings.
Best regards
