0. Please use meaningful upload comments
1. Please don't upload personal test data or similar

177745428

This should be `description=`

177745428

`name=` is for proper names, not descriptive titles. These `name=` should be official as in survey sheets.

177719323

You missed the point. The difference is whether they are physical structures, or functional activities. Unused roads, buildings, towers, etc still exist. Unused services, no longer.

177675215

`destination:ref=` is when the road only goes to that route. This is `destination:ref:to=`

177697839

1. Please don't remove Chinese from `name=` , which should be bilingual
2. If it has offices etc other uses, it should be `=commercial` or `=industrial` , not `=service`
3. `website=` is the page specific to the facility. Please use eg `operator:website=`

177719323

`disused=yes` is not Troll on `highway=`

177647860

Please use `change=no`

177649672

Please don't draw a pair of lines when there's no raised separation. Use `share_taxi:backward=no`

1. Government or official documents often capitalize a term to distinguish it. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a proper noun. You can also find many "former".
2. I said `old_name=` , not `name=`

177519080

`old_name=` has already been used. These are debatable as proper `name=` , as it may be "Former" / "前“. It's a descriptive title.

177511559

Please don't change to something incorrect to artificially influence rendering. `=monument` is for large structures the size of buildings.

177381346

"Tung Chung East" is a planning name. That's still a name.

176094230

This is not a `=*_link`
They are 2 branches. The opposite of a fork.

177261690

For in between junctions, closeby is TMR eastbound way/1264077323
Other troublesome cases: Airport Rd, Lion Rock Tunnel Rd, Waterloo Rd, Wan Po Rd
In terms of visualization to the degree of catering for the renderer, you can easily see this sections connects `=motorway` TMR only, unable to exit at Castle Peak Rd. And there will be restrictions.

177261690

Fundamentally, `highway=` is not designed to as precise as delineating the exact legal extent. It will already fail at merge/diverge at junctions. way/151834877

177261690

The guidelines are guidelines. It may not be very strict and rigorous. It was written by an interested human at spare time only. It won't cover all cases and situations in how it should be applied. It's already defective when Discovery Bay Tunnel is Tunnel Area, but is not, and should not be `=motorway` for many reasons.

177261690

This is being more detailed and targeted towards the functional and legal implications. Other map data would simply not respect the physically separated rule, drawing another line at Castle Peak Rd, making it seem more natural.
HK is further more complicated than other countries.
`motorway=` is documented motorway=*
It doesn't make sense to change `=motorway` and `=motorway_link` in between junctions for the exact extent. That's not legible and clean either.
