75165890

Hi Aqaba Shark, thank you for your contributions to the map in Aqaba! I noticed a few issues with some of your changes in this city. Some roads were merged which created inaccurate covered=yes tags on Desert Highway in changeset/75165890. The same issue I found on a section of Jordan Valley Highway in changeset/75294001. When you combine highways, the tags of each segment are merged together onto the final way. This can lead to inaccuracies in the data. It is best practice to only combine ways which have the exact same tag combinations to avoid this issue. It is also good to check if either segment is a part of a relation before combining those ways to avoid breaking relation data.

Another thing I noticed was that you have been adding a lot of stop signs to intersections in the city. Some of which appear to be logical and correct, but others I am concerned are not. In changeset/74223978 you’ve added stop signs to the middle of a primary highway at www.openstreetmap.org/node/1844097486 and www.openstreetmap.org/node/6780646894 which seems incorrect based on how traffic would logically flow. Could you explain your reasoning for these edits? I’ve seen many more like it in Aqaba and I’m concerned they are not accurate.
