Hi Nakaner-repair,
I saw this changset and wondered if you reverted housy76's previous edits because
a) the changeset is too large
b) it was a mechanical edit (and maybe not discussed beforehand?)

As I am currently checking possibilities of adding exactly this tag to roads I know, and which would be to tedious to do in Streetcomplete, I wanted to check with you before I create changesets which are then again reverted.
Would be great if you can tell me if and how it is ok to do this in a automated manner.

My current idea looks like this:
- check for a small area in overpass area the motorways/secondary/tertiary roads which are missing the surface-tag
- when in doubt, check myself or via BING etc if the surface is actually asphalt
- edit these roads via osmapi in Python

Would be great to hear from you!
Best, Lopus

Hi @Lee Carré and @nitram1234,
thanks for the notification/hint. I'll take care in the future to keep the changesets limited to small areas.

Hi Strubbl,
Da hast du natürlich recht, habe bin=yes wieder hinzugefügt.
Danke für den Hinweis
