Fixed, thanks.

I have gone through this same process of realization.

I have been observing your mapping work and I want to say thanks for your contributions!

Hi, I have remove the extended turn lane. Unless they are physically separated, turn lanes should not be added as separate "ways". Thanks, Joel

Hi, You have mapped separate roads when I think you intended to map separate lanes. Can you confirm? In OSM we do not map separate lanes with individual 'ways'. Thanks, Joel

Regarding relation/18636349, I don't see any signage indicating a turn restriction here. Is this something you surveyed? Maybe imagery is out of date.

Hi Josh, this is a duplicate entry for this amenity.

For whatever reason, Organic Maps doesn't use all the tags. I have updated the existing amenity with the additional alternative name of "HI Vancouver Downtown" to hopefully help with how Organic Maps uses the data.

Thanks,
Joel

Awesome, thanks.

I think you added this at the wrong location? The address you added is on Main Street.

I would also tag it as highway=service.

I added a bus_bay=right tag to indicate the bus bay.

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Luya,
This was a duplicate so I combined it with the existing amenity.
Thanks,
Joel

Hi meisoof,

Imperial Street does not have separate roadways and cycleways as you have added here. Roadways and turn lanes should not be drawn separated if not separated by a physical barrier. Please see the OSM wiki: osm.wiki/Dual_carriageway

This is the third time I have tried to start a discussion about this same issue. Please see my previous comments on changeset/150559739 and changeset/156787504. Going forward, I plan to revert any of your changesets that continue to make this error unless you can explain why you continue to ignore our community standards.

Quickly going through your recent edits and I see several other instances of this same issue: changeset/167843529, changeset/161391898, changeset/167425761, changeset/168815152.

Thank you,
Joel

Hi meark,
There are in fact sharrows painted here (and have been since about 2011 according to Google Street View). I have added these back.

Thanks,
Joel

I opened StreetComplete_ee and see that even now it is showing as 'untagged' althought I clearly just tagged it as a shared cycleway.

Anyway, this just further tells me I should rethink using StreetComplete_ee this way...

Looking back at the tagging history and I see you had already fixed this and I changed it back. Sorry.

Thanks for pointing this out clearly and nicely. Yes my understanding is the same. I probably made a mistake.

Any of my changesets that are tagged with created_by=StreetComplete_ee are using aerial imagery.

I wanted a simple task I could do from my phone, but the fact that you have caught two of my errors now has me rethinking continuing this.

There are a number of roads in Van/Bby tagged as shared cycleways but are actually just bike routes with a bike painted on the ground (no sharrows) so I probably thought I was cleaning up one of those.

I think I will just stick to roads that are currently untagged with cycleway=* so I don't add bad data again.

Thanks,
Joel

Thanks! Not sure how I missed that.

I have fixed it in changeset/170087296.

Hi mtmail,

Canada has provinces and not states. I think maybe you intended to remove addr:state and leave addr:province?

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Calvin,

Thanks for replying.

If the name "Barnet Road" continues to be what is shown on road signs, OpenStreetMap will use that as the name.

>For many people that live on Barnet Road, the residential road with slower traffic, visitors keep being redirected to the highway and not the road.

This does sound frustrating. To try to address this, I can think of a few options:

- Add addresses to all the homes on Barnet Road to help any apps using OSM data to find the correct location
- Reach out to the people developing the apps that are bringing people to the wrong road. This might be able to be resolved on their end, it sounds like they may be providing poor directions.
- Add a tag (other than "name=") to these roads that reflects some nuance with the name that might help people identify the correct location. See the ['Name' wiki page](osm.wiki/Names) for some more information.
- Reach out to the City of Burnaby to rename either of the roads to avoid confusion

I recognize the last option is a stretch but I think it might actually be more likely to happen than the OSM community agreeing to rename Barnet Road to an incorrect name.

Thanks,
Joel

Hi Calvin,

Thanks for contributing to updating the map!

What is the source for the sections of road that you renamed? The name "Barnet Road" was chosen based on the road signs here. Has this signage changed recently?

OpenStreetMap uses a guideline that we ["map what's on the ground"](osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what's_on_the_ground) so should use whatever the signs on the ground say.

I checked the [Burnaby GIS](https://gis.burnaby.ca/burnabymap/index.html) and see that it still uses the name "Barnet Road" and not "Barnet Highway" for these sections, so I assume the road signs have not changed.

Thanks,
Joel

Please note, using information from Google Maps is to be strictly avoided. I have revised this business in changeset/169401601 and ensured all information is only available from the business's website.

Hi justinsenemy,

First, thanks for all the contributions you have been making in the Richmond area. I have seen you putting a lot of work in and it's great to see the area getting refined.

I just want you be aware that using copyrighted material to draw features in OSM violates the project's open licence. Please refer to osm.wiki/Legal_FAQ#Can_I_trace_data_from_Google_Maps/Nokia_Maps/...?

I believe using emergency maps to draw indoor features is unacceptable to this project, however, IANAL and may have misunderstood Canadian copyright law. I recommend you open a discussion at community.openstreetmap.org so we can get a clear direction from the community if this is an acceptable practice or not.

Thanks,
Joel
