Internally we have an identifying ID, names and location of the level crossings. Since the names are not unique and we don't want to the IDs here, we wanted to add the suburb/ location as well, so that any discrepancies can be easily identified during any future audits.

Thanks very much for your feedback, I'll speak to my team and discuss the best way forward. I'll have to speak to the OSM lead on the Map Roulette as well.

We have been manually comparing, and I found only a few crossings in remote locations were missing (3/100 that I looked into so far).

I am unsure what you mean regarding recording the source? I am from TfNSW Data Services team, we have updated Open Data with the latest level crossing info and aim to improve OSM with the same. We have recorded the source tag with the Open Data link previously for our other assets such as Rest Area. I am keen to understand if there's a better process of doing this.

Hi @aharvey, great pickup on the location tag, I'll fix this. Since it's a suburb name, would addr:city be more suitable? Thank you!
