Please don't use `route=road` for these. That's for numbered routes only. Then again, `type=street` is still not widely used, accepted, or supported.
The related original `=assoicatedstreet` for collecting addresses doesn't really work. It's frowned upon by many.

1. Please don't blindly merge different sections. They are split for a reason,
2. The legal gazetted street name is " Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel Road", not " Tuen Mun Chek Lap Kok Tunnel "

Reminder: `name=` and `place=` are the existing common name and concepts in public use, not what you think should be correct or proper. Put historic names and locations in OpenHistoricalMap, not OSM. Discuss with the community, where the Discord server (https://discord.com/invite/CyG9zte) has been made available in OSM Community Index for a long time already, and there is a wiki project (osm.wiki/Hong_Kong).

4. Please don't delete `landuse=` when you draw `building=` . They are different aspects.

155768420

1.
osm.wiki/Names#Name_is_the_name_only
osm.wiki/Names#Names_are_not_for_descriptions

155768420

1. Please don't add such descriptor label to `name=` , which is for proper names only. It's not necessary to add `description=` , or anything here either.
2. Please use `bicycle=` ``=private` , not `=yes` , if only residents can be inside riding a bike. Accordingly for 1, `access=private` can be set.
3. There's no need to add `horse=` in HK. It has no use.

155787407

3. As mentioned before, please don't delete something that you haven't even drawn back

155787407

1. Please don't use `building=warehouse` for the entire land. The `landuse=industrial` should be kept.
2. Please don't delete `=greenfield` for empty cleared land

155786452

Please don't directly delete something that is being reconstructed. You should change it to `highway=construction` .

155767884

Please don't use such descriptor labels in `name=` , which is for proper names only. `description=` has already been added.

152523735

Please only use `building=office` for buildings. `office=` should be used for actually offices inside.

155565161

Please don't delete diagonal `=footway` on a scramble crosswalk. You are removing info.

150326255

2. You need to enclose `building:part=` inside the `building=` . If they are outside for any reason, you need to create a `type=building` with them as `part` and `outline`

155542787

Please don't merge sections of `=footway` around `=steps` . They are either top & bottom, or the intermediate resting platforms.

155517592

Please don't blindly merge different sections. You removed a `covered=yes` here.

155514085

As mentioned before, please don't change `=traffic_signals` to `=crossing` . You need to adjust them to create a separate `=crossing` point.

155490974

Please don't move a `=give_way` upstream of a `=crossing` . This is basically never the case, and is misleading whether it is for the crosswalk.

155489775

Please don't delete `crossing=no` . They indicate where there isn't a crosswalk.

155424527

Please don't delete large polygons without fully replacing it. For large edits, you need to consider how to work methodically. Eg cut it up.

155326896

As mentioned before, please don't simply disconnect `=footway` or `=steps` from the eg `highway=tertiary` roadway. This breaks routing. Aside from drawing `=footway` across `=crossing` , you still need to draw an artificial `=footway` when there's no `=service` road for the routing to coincidentally connect back. In the case of `=steps` , it also more accurately shows how it is connected, similar to how `bridge=` isn't directly connected with intersections.
