OpenStreetMap
Following the previous diary post on improving navigation data in Germany, around 1000 turn restrictions detected on Mapillary were reviewed and 72 notes were added on OSM where there was a mismatch with the data for community mappers to verify with local knowledge. The community response has been extremely quick to verify an resolve these notes almost within a day of them being added. The whole exercise resulted in adding 27 new turn restrictions to the map which is already highly detailed and up to date.

Exit and destination signs on motorways
Now that we have completed with turn restrictions in 3 test locations in Germany, we would like to continue working with community to review exit numbers and destinations in these 3 cities. We plan to follow the wiki to review and we intend to add OSM notes for the missing exit numbers and destinations for the community to verify and map. For this process, we will be using tasking manager and checkautopista2 for identifying the missing exit numbers and destinations. Here is the guide and detailed workflow of the task.
Happy to hear your feedback on the process and if anything could be improved.
Grüße,
From Mapbox Data Team

Progress update: We have been working alongside the community to update navigation data in 3 cities (Berlin, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg) and as a result, we managed to add 73 OSM notes for the community to verify and add the possible turn restrictions, out of which 38 notes are resolved! We followed a similar workflow to find the missing exit and destinations for highways and added 1 OSM note. We would like to continue our collaboration with the community on improving OpenStreetMap for accuracy in navigation and as a next step, we are going to review Frankfurt and Munich for any possible turn restrictions or any exits and destinations that could be added. We will be following the same workflow that we followed for Berlin, Stuttgart and Wolfsburg.
It would be great to have support from the community in resolving these notes we are about to add and to continue our collaboration to make OpenStreetMap the best map in the world.
