Hi JonzCode,

Thanks for your contributions in the Springvale area.

Unfortunately, the way that you have modified this turn lane doesn't match the best practice guidelines.

Turn lanes should be indicated using the turn and change keys. turn=*

This is because we don't want to map the highways separately if there is no physical separation.

Hope the links help. I'm happy to discuss any questions you may have. :)

Thanks Ant,

Best of luck to you for resolving this issue. There are a lot of editors who would love to utilise Metromap as well.

Hi Ant!

Unfortunately, the license for MetroMap is incompatible with OpenStreetMap's license, and it cannot be used when contributing to OSM.

Since I informed you of this two months ago, You have continues to contribute a data using this incompatible source. This data may need to be redacted due to license compatibility issues.

A list of compatible sources is here: osm.wiki/Australian_Data_Sources
Dian.

Thanks for the reply Scotty.

The way the council are using the name is odd, but they use the name in several other places on their website as well.

I'm tempted to email the council and suggest they put up road signs and get the name gazetted, but that's not likely to change things. :)

Happy Mapping!
Dian

Hi Scotty,

Where did you get the name Circulatory Road from? I can't find it in any official sources.

I'm also adjusting these back to be suburbs and moving the population to their LGA

Hi Scotty,

Frankston and Dandenong are tagged as suburbs in accordance with the Australian Tagging Guidelines. I've reverted your changes now.

Happy to discuss this further on the mailing list, or discord, if required.

Hi Zak,

Thanks for your contributions to the area.

I notice in this changeset you've changed some of the ways in between Thompsons road to be link roads, even though they are roads in their own right.

Try to limit link roads to channelised turn lanes or other slip roads, rather than roads in intersections generally. osm.wiki/Highway_link

Also, I disagree that Thompsons Road is a trunk road. It is of comparitive less importance than Nepean Hwy and Frankston-Dandenong Road, and Primary would appear to be the most accurate.

Happy to discuss further

Hi Luc,

I've removed the descriptive names from the paths you've added as it doesn't align with best practice.

I've also spent some time repairing your contributions: the paths and roads you are adding don't actually connect to each other, making it impossible to use the data for routing.

For future contributions, please try to ensure that the roads are "snapped" to each other and connected at a node. Happy to discuss further if required.

Luc,

I've tried contacting you a few times.

You appear to be using the name field as a description. This is not correct (osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions).

Happy to explain further if required.

Hi.

Again, this is not the correct way of mapping turning lanes that are not physically separated.

In your most recent block it was explained to you many different channels if you want to discuss this further. osm.org/user_blocks/6484

I will continue correcting the extraneous lanes you have added in the meantime.

Hi Scotty.

The segments you've modified at Ninth Avenue aren't correct. Link roads are only for slip roads or channelised turning lanes. In this case, the sections in the median are just extensions of the road and can keep the highway classification. osm.wiki/Highway_link

Also, the u-turn lanes were correctly mapped. Adding a "curve" inaccurately describes the geometry of the road and extends the turn lane beyond the point of physical separation.

Hey Scotty :)

I've just updated the walkways at Greensborough Plaza from a Footway+Tunnel to a Corridor for more accuracy. The rest of your edit looks really good! :)

Dian

Thanks for the reply.

The data you have received is incorrect, unfortunately.

Hello,

This restaurant does not accept bitcoin.

Could you please confirm the reputed source for your change?

Hello,

This organisation does not accept bitcoin.

You've indicated that this data was obtained by survey, however this looks like data taken from Google. I have reverted this edit.

this edit has made the lane tagging on way/725213920 incorrect. It was already correctly tagged, but you have introduced a right turn lane next to a two lane carriageway.

This edit has moved the traffic light position for 112597323 well before the point where vehicles stop.

Don't introduce errors just to have a "neat" straight line.

Hi Hither and Tither.

The boxy intersection that you've adjusted at that location is actually best ptractice. We use the ways as an abstraction of the actual travel paths of the vehicles in the intersection. osm.wiki/Dual_carriageway osm.wiki/Junctions

It looks a little weird at first, but it makes the map more usuable for routing services. :)

Hi.

In this edit you've again introduced names that aren't consistent with official sources, and altered some official names incorrectly.

Could you please advise where you are sourcing these names from, as these edits are public.
