Hi dfahed,

Thanks for reaching out! Since you are a local and know the area well, I trust your local knowledge.
I just wanted to align the road network hierarchy, but local experience is more important here. Please feel free to edit it if you see fit.
Thanks for helping improve OpenStreetMap!

Best regards,
Aya

Hi dfahed, thank you for your quick reply.
Yes, you can apply the "primary" classification to these routes
way/669133295, way/182201481
Also change the classification of these ways to the "secondary" classification, as it was way/669133298
,way/182201478
And you can pay attention to the links on these roads
ex: way/182228660, way/182228643 to "secondary_link"
Finally, the "ref" tag has been removed from these ways
way/182201476
way/669125915.
Thank you for your help in improving the OSM map
Best regards
Aya

Hi dfahed,
Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap!
I noticed you added ref=RN 32 to some streets, but I couldn't find any official ref source for them in Algeria.
For example:
way/524628530
If you have a reliable source for this, please share it.

Also, please note that this ref tag was already added to other roads: way/669133291
way/669125906
Which ref tag is the correct one here?

Additionally, I noticed you changed the classification of several streets to trunk_link
 For example:
way/43735522
way/1329076208
way/1329076207
way/182529928
way/1546916236
I believe it might be better to change them back to highway=trunk.

Finally, this relation is missing a "from" restriction element:
relation/21181464
Could you please fix them?
Thanks again for your hard work!

Best regards,
Aya

Hello alain2003,
Thank you for your contribution to OpenStreetMap.
I noticed that you removed the toll=yes tag from these ways: way/155708388 and way/141179276.
Please note that adding or removing this tag must be based on an official source.
If you have a source you used to remove the tag, please share it with me; if not, please revert the change.

Hello MappingMore;
Thanks for your contribution to OpenStreetMap. Could you please clarify?

Hello Mourad Y,
Thank you for your contribution to OpenStreetMap.
Regarding changes 181937811 & 181934386, you changed these locations; however, the imagery used in the update appears outdated.
The most recent imagery I have available is dated 26-04-2026, suggesting that the previous changes were consistent with the current situation on the ground. Could you please revert your changes?
You can also use this website to find out the date of the image in Esri:https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/wayback/#mapCenter=10.21624%2C36.74318%2C16&mode=explore&active=22869

You're welcome!

Hello Suleiman,
Thank you for your contributions to the OpenStreetMap project, and apologies for reaching out again.
I noticed that you changed the classification of several streets to "motorway," for example: "way155613023, way421884395, and way570487458."
I believe it may be more appropriate to revert these roads to their previous classification, as the current classification may not fully reflect their actual function. According to the Morocco road tagging guidelines on the OSM Wiki, the road signs present on these roads indicate that they should be classified as "trunk" rather than motorway:
(osm.wiki/Morocco#Road_tagging:~:text=Expressways%20%28Voies%20express%29)
Additionally, Mapillary imagery shows the same road sign on this road segment:
(https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=296600095385945)
If you have a different point of view, we would appreciate it if you could share it with us along with your sources. Otherwise, could you please review these changes and revert them accordingly?
Thank you again for your efforts and for helping to improve the map.
Best regards,
Aya

Hello AustinAkaHadiRender,
Thank you for responding to us quickly, and we are all here to help each other.
yes you are right. The street name is added according to the nature of the country and its language. where users add the Arabic name value in the "name" and "name ar" tag, and English name in "name en" tag, based on OSM policy to add names for streets. You can check that here:
name="Arabic Name"
name:ar="Arabic Name"
name:en="English Name"
Second: OSM policy does not support the feature of shortening road names like "St" or "Rd", you should write full words like "Road" or "street". You can check the wiki for details to add street names without abbreviations: osm.wiki/Abbreviations
It is pleasure to help!!!
Best regards,
Aya

Hi AustinAkaHadiRender,
Thank you for your contribution to OpenStreetMap
I noticed that you've added new street names, but in a way that violates OpenStreetMap. Please, you can check the wiki for details to add street names in Syria: osm.wiki/Syria#Street_Names:~:text=CC%20BY%204.0.-,Street%20Names,-Example%20of%20Street
The street name is added according to the nature of the country and its language. For example: way/136473075, way/965255724. These examples are in the United Arab Emirates, where users add the Arabic name value in the name and name er tag, and English name in name en tag, based on OSM policy to add names for streets. You can check that here:
name=*
Also, you shouldn't add a ref number in name, name ar, and name en tags, like this way/184542352, way/94728364, way/112188572,
way/112188584; you should add the ref number in the ref tag. This page will also teach you how to add a ref tag: ref=*
And also, you shouldn't have added a destination value to the name, name-ar, and name-en tags like this way/1318993645; you should have added the destination value to the destination key. You can check the wiki for details:
destination=*.
Finally, if you have any descriptions, you can write them in the description tag, not in name tags. You can check the wiki for details:
description=*
In the end, could you please share with me "the name and ref" sources you used them
Best regards,
Aya

Thank you

Hi Ilias_,
Thank you. I fixed that, but the video I sent previously was a mistake. I apologize for that. We added "sidewalk=both" because there's a sidewalk in the square shown at minute 2:47 in this video:

Hi Ilias_,
We added "sidewalk=both" because there's a sidewalk in the square shown in the 10th second in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdf2qcVRsYE
, which shows someone walking on the sidewalk of the square

Hi NumisK,
Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap.
I noticed that you've added this link:
way/1451597324
No shown in my latest updated image "Vantor satellite imagery via Vantor Hub 2025-08-13".
If you have a more recent source, could you please share it with me? If not, please remove that link.
Best regards,

Hi thaccio,
Thank you for your contributions to OpenStreetMap!
I noticed that you've changed the classification of some streets to
tertiary_link
For example:
way/88506033
way/701127191
way/88505982
way/701127190
I believe it might be better to revert to the previous classification,
as the current classification may not fully match its actual function. You can check that in the OSM wiki: highway=tertiary_link
Could you please review these changes and revert them?
Thank you again for your efforts and for helping to improve the map!
Best regards,
Aya

Ok, thank you
