Welcome to OSM! The default imagery (Bing) usually has an offset from the true GPS position. Check the background settings - usually the ESRI Imagery or ESRI Clarity layers have best alignment. Also, the building location should be aligned to the base of a building and not the roof. You can draw to the roof outline, then move it to match the base if the image was taken from an angle. So for the water tower, the circle should go around the legs and not the tank offset.

Hi, thank you for this update. It turns out that truck traffic access tagging in OSM is not done with a relation, but instead by hgv=no or hgv=delivery on the roads. The abbreviation hgv stands for heavy-weight-vehicle.

I'll let the editors I know who don't follow the mailing lists that systematic changes are coming so that they don't revert them.

Hi, Was South Carolina road classification discussed anywhere? Roads probably will need to be aligned with the trending classification elsewhere, but let's get local editors on board first. We have lost good contributors in the past when someone else comes in with mass reclassification without getting local buy-in first.

In this case, I was going on the greater than 100 meters to decide to use tower.

Welcome to OSM! Google Street View cannot be used as a source of POI information in OpenStreetMap.

Welcome to OSM! The landuse is normally to an outline of the entire property. Also since this has been converted to residential, the current surrounding landuse would be residential. The building would remain industrial as built, even with residences.

Hi, What is the source for previous name? TIGER is out of date. Both SC DOT and the Laurens County GIS show the new name. But I do see that the lower segment should have been split to remain the Torrington Heights name.

There's been some discussion of eliminating one of the road categories in the US, but unclassified is still commonly used in industrial or sparsely populated areas

In some parts of the country, these private roads are useful as reference in fighting landscape fires or missing persons searches.

Hi, is Rawls Creek still a golf course, or is the conversion to park complete?

This changeset had review requested. Putnam and Baldwin county borders were broken when the county boundary was removed from Big Cedar creek. At times, water features are tied to administrative boundaries, so take care when removing those.

Please be careful when deleting objects. This change removed 9 counties in Georgia by breaking the admin boundary.

Hi, why are highways tagged as cart paths?
