Hi again,
Also what I found in this changeset is that all the turning loops/roundabouts that you draw are in fact "turning circles" and those are correctly mapped as a node tagged as highway=turning_circle.
e.g. at the end of this road: way/17185414#map=19/41.88167/-72.66977

Here are more details on the distinction between the two types:
highway=turning_circle

Here you added two railway crossings between between a railway and a road that goes over the railway tracks on a bridge. This is clearly incorrect.

123138560

Here again you deleted lots of existing paths.
Also do you mind clarifying why is it important to add no-U-turn restrictions in parking lots and small driveways. Such restrictions are typically added only when there is a traffic sign prohibiting turning.

123138632

Here you as well deleted paths that exist.
I assume you are trying to use auto-validation tools. Please don't rely on these tools 100% because they can be faulty. Always inspect the object with imagery or survey before removing the object.

Hi And thanks for editing OSM. I looked at your edits and there are several problems.
1) You are deleting paths that and sidewalks that clearly exist. Always check with the latest imagery or do a in-person survey before doing modifications.
2) You are connecting roads that are not physically connected. E.g. road that is on a bridge with another road that goes under the bridge. Those have to remain unconnected otherwise the car navigation will be broken.
3) you delte skybridges: way/224144549 and way/224144525
4) You deleted this entrance that still exists node/2556089034

Please take your time getting to know how OSM works, before doing large scale edits as those can often involve errors. If you need help please reach out to me or join OSM slack osmus.slack.com

Hi,
Thanks for improving OSM. Just one thing that I noticed, please don't delete mapped driveways. These are valid data should be kept in OSM.

For this purpose we have tags `access=no` and `access=private` that indicate that such trail is not to be used.

You can find more information here:

Hi and welcome to OSM!
Mapping trails or any other objects on private properties is fine so no need to delete.
Also the trail name is already included in hiking trail relation: relation/11364585

122634789

Looks good. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to OSM!
It's fine to do test edits, just please don't upload them to the live database.
cheers

Looks all good to me. Thanks!

I would just add that you don't need to add the trail names, because they are already included on the hiking trail relations. e.g. relation/11269400

121842661

this path overlaps a driveway
way/1066054150

121846645

This path does not exist as well
way/1066098189

121846709

This path does not exist
way/1066099001

121847129

Here again, here you backtraced so there are two lines per one crosswalk. Please see my first comment.

121848511

this path (way/1066114558) overlaps a bit with Johnson St and you added an extension towards Robbins Ave that is not existing.

121848715

This path doesn't really exist because it is just a thicker part of a sidewalk

Hi and welcome to OSM!
Thanks for contributing, I just wanted to point out a few things that I noticed in your edits:
1) Some of your paths are not on satellite imagery, which suggest that they don't exist. In those cases please don't add "fake" data even though a connection would make sense there. In parking lots, one can draw ways tagged with service=highway that allow car navigation.
2) Several of the paths (eg. the one in this changeset) you drew intersecting themselves or back-tracing the same sidewalk twice. We always draw line/way only once and it should lead along the center line of the sidewalk/road. Try to look around first how others have done it in the past. A good example for sidewalks and crosswalks is New Haven.
Cheers

Hi and thanks for contributing to OSM!

I just saw that you created a "site" relation from an existing building. What are you trying to achieve?
