Hello, Bravo Mapper,
Thank you for reaching out. This road (way/1482932442) is floating and should be connected to the road network, even if it's not in use. I connected it. Here are some alternatives to indicate that the link is closed,
such as tagging the road as "Under Construction" and providing more information about the construction tag
highway=construction
tagging it as "disused" and providing more information about the disused tag
disused:highway=*
placing a "jersey_barrier" on the road
barrier=*
or tagging it as "access=no" as you have done.
Regards,
Mona Mohsen

Hello, mkarau;
Thank you very much for your help in updating the OSM maps in the United Arab Emirates. I noticed that you added some tags, such as the layer tag. This modification is illogical because the value you added here (way/1190118766, way/500406075) is meaningless; it indicates that the road is at ground level and therefore its use is not recommended, as explained on the wiki page for the layer tag (layer=*#:~:text=See%20also-,Guidelines,Features%20at%20layer%200%20should%20not%20normally%20have%20a%20layer%20tag.,-Do%20not%20use).

Hello, aliapo;
Thank you very much for your help in updating the OSM maps in Iraq. I noticed that you removed the highway tag from this street (way/755376687), which is incorrect. This is based on JOSM validation, as explained on the OSM wiki page (osm.wiki/JOSM/Validator#:~:text=NONE-,Untagged%20ways,-Checks%20for%20untagged). The best solution here is to delete this street entirely if it no longer exists in reality. This way, we accurately represent the reality while maintaining OSM policy.
