closed by Mateusz Konieczny - bot account (2025-08-11 18:35:01+00:00): to person creating thousands upon thousands of this notes - have you considered actually editing OpenStreetMap? You cannot copy shops locations from Google Maps, but you can go on walk and add some of them. Or map remotely, there is Bing Streetside imagery in some places. Or map buildings remotely.

Creating note flood is simply not useful, or even harmful.

close not needed onosm note

Iran is simply flooded with them - with so many that people started closing notes in Iran solely for being old, and over 60 000 notes were closed in 2023. It is better to close just this not needed flood and notes with higher chance of being useful will remain.

Note that notes about missing shops are nearly useless - they do not speed up mapping, it is trivial to find missing shops nearly anywhere.

opened by gogorm (2024-07-21 23:17:29+00:00): Traffic signs on the ground make it fairly clear that the motorway officially ends here ("end of motorway" sign, preceeded by the 3, 2, 1 countdown signs).

Does this mean that the remainder of this road (i.e. until it meets another road) should be changed to a motorway link?
commented by VictorIE (2024-07-22 08:01:54+00:00): The normal rule we apply is inevitability. The only way to access this point or any point within the next few hundred metres is via a motorway, so we call it motorway / motorway link. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=motorway%20link?uselang=en-GB#Link_roads_between_different_highways_types

This https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/871882808 should probably be marked as a motorway link.
commented by gogorm (2024-07-22 19:10:21+00:00): Thanks for the prompt reply.
I think we are in agreement but I'm not sure whether I articulated my point properly.

I'm suggesting that every segment of road currently marked as "motorway" starting from  https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1302954124 and continuing south until https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/11162225087 be changed from "motorway" to "motorway_link", on the basis that those road segments are situated after the "end of motorway" sign.

Does that seem more suitable than how it's currently mapped?
commented by VictorIE (2024-07-23 08:02:27+00:00): I think no. Where there is a "straight-on" option for road users that should be motorway (or trunk, primary, etc. on other roads) with _link highways kept for turns.

opened by KiloThree (2024-07-22 01:43:26+00:00): "cycleway{" here on Mount Auburn Street is actually an on-street buffered bike lane, and mapping it as a cycleway 1. misrepresents it as an offstreet path, and includes no information on what sort of bike lane it is (that it's buffered and asphalt and decently smooth) 2. makes bike routing worse: bike routing tools now will show turn cues that aren't meaningful, and onto ways like this that do not have names, so it will just say "turn slight right". This isn't useful

These sorts of ways are found in a number of places across boston, and really aren't great for data quality of the map or for people using the map as a navigational tool for bikes. As someone who does a lot of bike route planning, I've been increasingly frustrated by the quality of the map in the boston area in this regard

commented by KiloThree (2024-07-22 01:53:39+00:00): If you'd like to see an example of why this sort of mapping gives me trouble when routing, Ride with GPS is my typical tool, and any road that has bike lanes or cycle tracks mapped like this creates a low quality cue sheet
commented by lmum (2024-08-19 14:20:30+00:00): I would recommend getting in touch with cubbe8, who is doing the Boston/Cambridge bike path mapping. I believe they are following the "North American conventions" from the OSM wiki [link below]. However, many of these bike lanes are already tagged as part of highway features, so perhaps Ride with GPS is getting conflicting or duplicate queues. (Not sure how it resolves.)

Personally, I find these OSM conventions underspecified, so have avoided mapping bike lanes. Massachusetts has a lot of different bike lane treatments, so it would be good to get some local consensus on this!

commented by KiloThree (2024-08-19 16:40:43+00:00): I would agree, the wiki convention is murky, and I really struggle to consider buffered lanes as cycle tracks. I will note, I do not think of flex posts as providing a physical separation, they are explicitly able to be driven over (and I watch them get driven over constantly).
commented by KiloThree (2024-08-20 18:24:13+00:00): I don't think this is just an issue of the murky convention around flexposts actually. Consider ways like this one, where the paint only (and in many places advisory only) bike lane is mapped as a cycle path https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1288106328

This isn't a data problem only for tools, or tools and the renderer. I as someone manually inspecting the map had to look for other imagery and look for project details to see if this was just out of date imagery. It's not, there hasn't been a major road project in that location since the 2023 orthos.
commented by lmum (2024-08-20 20:07:07+00:00): Yeah, that does seem like a bad tag. And it's already mapped as cycleway:right=lane, so the new way is a duplicate feature.

As far as I can tell, most of the Boston area cycle lanes were mapped to the roadway. Almost all the new cycleways are duplicates (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element)

The good news is it's almost all one user's contributions in the past 6 months. I think getting in touch with them is the best way to resolve. It looks like they are new to OSM, so they may not be aware that the roadways already have cycling tags, or they may not be familiar with the Wiki.
closed by cubbe8 (2024-09-12 03:01:07+00:00): I have deleted the on street tagging when mapping the bike lanes. The bike lanes on center street in JP were not mapped by me, they were mapped by someone else that mapped quite a few paint only bike lanes in Newton and West Roxbury that I have removed. There are many different types of flex posts, Brookline and Cambridge use more durable ones placed very close together that make them very hard to drive over, thus making it quite safe.
commented by cubbe8 (2024-09-12 03:03:13+00:00): There are also other mappers that have mapped bike lanes
commented by KiloThree (2024-09-12 03:09:10+00:00): Flexposts in Cambridge are frequently destroyed by cars driving over or parking on them, and they aren't of such a density to make them difficult to crush with a car, I'm confused how they're difficult to drive over?
commented by cubbe8 (2024-09-12 03:12:05+00:00): The ones one Mass ave seem quite sturdy, all of them appear to still be in place.
commented by KiloThree (2024-09-12 03:22:45+00:00): I have 311'd multiple flexposts on Mass Ave that have been destroyed or ripped from the ground
commented by KiloThree (2024-09-12 03:26:34+00:00): It is true that flexposts dissuade cars, but they do not stop them. Even dense flexposts do not serve to prevent a car from crossing a line, only to prevent bikes. Flexposts do not serve the same role as bollards or jersey barriers or grade separation distinctly because they do not damage cars when driven over
commented by cubbe8 (2024-09-12 04:06:18+00:00): Most of the bike lanes I have mapped were mapped previously as "bike tracks" (the remaining ones that I have mapped are new bike lanes that are physically separated with curbs). According to the wiki, a "bike track" is considered to be the same as a "cycle path" and they can be used interchangeably with a "cycle path" being preferred. They were most likely previously mapped as bike tracks because they can be mapped more quickly than drawing out the entire cycle path.  There are also cases of bike lanes protected by flex posts that were mapped by others, such as Garden Street in Cambridge, Mount Vernon Street in Somerville,  Cambridge Street in Cambridge, and Western Avenue in Boston.
