Hello, I came across your edits in the Correntina, Brazil area.

I noticed that you removed some roads such as way/376999447 and replaced it with new roads way/1426903583, way/1425373102 which now have different road names. I was wondering what your source was for these new road names? The OSM Wiki has an article on the importance of history retention which highlights preserving the feature itself and only updating it’s tags. This way, other mappers can see how a feature has changed over time. You can find the article here: osm.wiki/Keep_the_history#:~:text=Similarly%2C%20make%20sure%20to%20preserve%20the%20identity%20of%20an%20element%20even%20when%20its%20tags%20become%20different.

I also saw that the name tags added to these roads that look like address data:
way/1428329570
way/1428357008
way/1428357007

Would this be better as a separate tag instead of as a name tag, such as Addresses or description tagging described here: osm.wiki/Addresses and description=*. Maybe this data should be on address features instead of highway features? The address data may be private information.

There are also some areas with disconnected and floating highway data:
node/13128918588
node/2995690935
node/13128852317
node/3353795581

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello user_5359,

I am not familiar with the air_quality tags as I am not the user who added those in. I only removed the highway tag from way/1218940743 since the newly added highway=trunk tag would create overlapping highway data with the existing primary roads.
