JOSM wasn't responding to me pressing upload, then decided to upload without letting me add a comment...

Improved way accuracy of Mount Glorious Road based on QLD Imagery + Land Parcels

Hello, address tags like addr:suburb, addr:postcode and addr:state are optional in Australia as we have various boundaries that provide this information to objects inside, such as relation/5928429 . iD isn't great at communicating this.

Also, looks like you're doing a lot of mapping, looks great. If you have Discord, you might want to join the OSM server (discord.gg/openstreetmap), we have an #oceania channel in that server that is quite active.

I've mostly restored the original classifications for the frontage roads you changed, but added frontage_road=yes, based on the wiki + discussion in the #oceania Discord.

osm.wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines/Roads#Road_Hierarchy
osm.wiki/Frontage_road

I've also removed the "Whitehose Road Service Road" names you've added as it appears to be a descriptive name, or copied from another map.

Hello, how have you sourced the name "Whitehorse Road Service Lane"?

Hello, you included a Google Maps link in node/12655156268/history/1 - we can't use Google Streetview as their images are proprietary, please don't map based on their data.

The court hire website shows four tennis courts, and it seems like JJRAC also operates the three north ones in https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=884612078378020

Maybe all four tennis courts are operated by JJRAC, but the north three were assigned a separate land parcel as they may have been purchased / built separately? Minor detail though lol

Ah, interesting, thanks for checking!

Hey Peter, there's been some discussion on the Discord around this and we've landed on a syntax originally suggested by aharvey almost two years ago (https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/vicmap-address-import-progress/122863/7).

You can see this on way/1548993047 - addr:flats is used instead of addr:unit to say "this range represents multiple addresses". This syntax then uses `addr:flats:level:<level>=<flats>` to say <flats> are located on <level>.
It's mainly designed for large buildings with heaps of levels, where `addr:flats:level:6=601-612` means `addr:flats=601-612` + `level=6`.

> I wanted to put the addresses on the buildings.

You still should, I only moved the building names. I meant you can also tag the housenumber and street on the landuse, keeping the unit + housenumber + street on the building. way/1548993728

> Do you have any suggestions with units that are above each other.

I don't think there is currently a recommended way to tag this, I'll ask in the Discord.

Hello Peter W34, super cool how much you've been mapping lately! A few things with your recent changes:

1. the name of apartment complexes / "common property" for units should be tagged on a landuse, not each building. It is also common to then tag the housenumber and street on the landuse. I have fixed these in your recent changes, eg way/1271853188
2. addr:state is not required in Australia as it can be inferred from state boundaries. This also applies to addr:postcode and addr:suburb
3. addr:city should not be added in Australia, as we don't use it as part of our postal system. (this needs to be removed from all addresses in Brisbane, it was added in the import but isn't correct) Data consumers can also add this tag based on LGA boundaries if they want, eg relation/11675411

Please let me know if you have any questions with this

I linked the wrong object, I meant way/1488761093

Ah okay, I only ask as it seems unusual for a railway station to be assigned an address, and state data suggests that way/134365878 has this address instead. (it's a bit strange though, as there's only a land parcel for the north three tennis courts, not the south one)

I can't find anything online that would suggest the railway station has a house number, but the tennis courts list 125 Lorne Street as their address on https://play.tennis.com.au/juneetennisclub - would it make more sense to put the address there?

How have you sourced the address "125 Lorne Street" on way/134365878 ?

I agree the wiki is quite confusing if you need to choose between a lowered or flush kerb. The wiki photos for kerb=flush are really zoomed in, and (in my opinion) makes it seem like its purely around how smooth the transition is, and whether a wheelchair would notice it.

My understanding after checking a few kerbs with others in the OSM Discord recently is that if there is even a slight gradient from the road to the footpath it should be a lowered kerb. This is easy to identify based on whether the footpath is above the road, and there should be a raised kerb along the road that then lowers right at the crossing.

kerb=flush is used when there is no height difference between the road and the footpath - not how smooth the transition is.

I'm considering suggesting a mass edit that removes any kerb=flush that have been mapped by you and another user, so that: 1. other users don't think these kerbs are kerb=flush and 2. these kerbs will then be an "unknown kerb", and mappers can tag it as lowered kerb if it is clearly a ramp in aerial imagery, or StreetComplete users will be asked to check what type a kerb is if they're in the area.

Do you have any thoughts on that? You can see a map of kerb=flush touched by you and another mapper here: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/2uBV
