Hi, Hans Thompson! My name is Lizaveta, and I am a mapper on the OSM team at Lyft. Thank you so much for paying attention to this.

I apologize for missing the service road’s type near the bank building. The mapillary shows that it is really drive-through roads so I corrected my mistake in changeset/128443453. Thank you so much for your contribution!

Hi, Mundilfari! My name is Lizaveta, and I am a mapper on the OSM team at Lyft. Thank you so much for paying attention to this.

Our lanes editing flow was based on article “Lanes” in OSM Wiki (osm.wiki/Lanes#:~:text=is%20an%20intersection.-,Street,-Here%2C%20a%20residential). According to it only a fully formed turn lane can be included into the lane count (i.e. a turn lane transition area marked with dashes where the lane begins to form do not include into the lane count since it is not fully formed).

But after researching OSM Wiki we found the following information in another article: “If the number of lanes changes it is necessary to split the OSM way. This should be done as soon as a new lane has started (regardless of width)...” (lanes=*#:~:text=for%20further%20details.-,If%20the%20number,-of%20lanes%20changes). It confirms correctness of the previous edits made by ridixcr (https://pewu.github.io/osm-history/#/way/435720702).

In our opinion, these 2 articles contradict each other and become a source of confusion. We assume that both methods can be correct and apologize for any inconvenience caused by these changes. And me and my team want to assure you that we will no more correct one approach of tagging such lanes into another. I’ve also rolled back my edit in changeset/123089274.

If you know any other details that can clarify the current state of this area, we'll be happy to work on this further. Thank you so much for your contribution!

Best regards,
Lizaveta
