@Forcej Welcome to openstreetmap! We're glad to have you aboard, but as Safwat said, your first few edits seemed to have a few errors. Don't worry about that --- everyone makes mistakes in the first few edits --- but please do take the time to learn from them. Cheers!

Let's discuss this further on the forum: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?pid=670142#p670142

Thanks for the reply.

Considering highway=unclassified , I think this road is not an "unclassified" road: it is not interconnecting, it is not used for local traffic.

Since highway=track says that highway=track "may apply to paved tracks as well, that are suitable for two-track vehicles, such as tractors or jeeps", I would guess that highway=track,surface=paved would actually be correct in this case.

So, I suggest that we either change this section to highway=track,surface=paved , or alternatively change it to highway=road, which is the "survey needed" value of highway=*.

WDYT?

Cheers,

Hi zstadler,

You changed the tagging of way/346149552#map=18/32.76804/35.02787 from highway=track to highway=unclassified. Could I double-check that that's correct? It would be unusual for a road inside a forest to be "unclassified".

highway=unclassified

Thanks,

Looks good to me. Cheers!

That's precisely my point: the "name" tags are _not_ how one should describe which international agreement established some area as a nature reserve. Such information belongs in other tags; not in the 'name' tag.

I think one of the following two changes is needed:

- Change name:foo to description:foo

or

- Remove name:foo and add a "source=Oslo Accords" tag.

Makes sense?

Thanks!

Hi Mr Massri,

Is "according to Oslo Accords" really the name of this feature? See osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things .

I guess we should just rename the tags from name:foo to description:foo. What do you think?

That rule suggests that the portion of Route 40 north of this changeset and south of Sgula Junction should, too, be upgraded to trunk.

Point taken, though. If I disagree with the criteria I'll start a new thread on the forums. Cheers!

Sure, but those plans don't affect the "highway" tag's value. The "highway" tag's value should reflect the current status of a road; there are other tags for mapping the planned (future) status.

Hi David,

I see you changed Route 40 north of 471 from primary to trunk. We're discussing that, and another recent edit of yours, on the forum, here: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=59454

You are welcome to join the discussion there.

Cheers,

On the pole of the stoplight, there is a sign that shows a number and (in most cities) also the names of the cross streets. The ref is that number.

I see the edits. Much better, thanks! I've gone ahead and set name:he as well.

Hi SaGm. The new footway's name is "משעול". Is that correct? "משעול" sounds more like the _type_ of the road (like "motorway" or "footway") than like the _name_ of the road (like "Jabotinsky" or "Orlov").

If the footway does not have a name (that appears in streetsigns), it would be better to remove the name=משעול tag and add noname=yes instead. See osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only . Thanks again!
