Hi Enock4seth,

I noticed you have deleted residential and path highways that were previously added in Ghana (changeset/170866588, changeset/170934958). In Esri World Imagery there appears to be walkable routes and some drivable roads visible between buildings where highways were deleted. Apple also has an agreement with Maxar to use their more recent imagery to edit OpenStreetMap, which is not publicly available for editing OpenStreetMap. With this more recent imagery, I am able to verify many of these paths and roads still exist.

I want to get a better understanding of your preference for how these routes and roads should be mapped and how that may differentiate from what is written on the Highway Tag Africa wiki page (osm.wiki/Highway_Tag_Africa)?

Your input is greatly appreciated, and I hope we can collaborate to reach a shared understanding for future contributions.
