yeah I just made that tag up now as a way to try tag a character that matches the route symbol.
symbol=* is a good one to use but since it's just a human readable description, it's not exactly the same as providing the exact character.
osmc:symbol is limited to a fixed set of symbols, where in many cases it's easier for both mapper and data consumers to use use an existing character symbol.

while it might not be needed for routing purposes since it's implied by the oneways, if it's signposted then it's not wrong to map it in my opinion

hi, I'd be surprised if this road segment had a speed limit, typically the 50 only starts once you turn off the main road onto the side road, so this road which is part of the intersection isn't signposted usually.

from what I can tell you added a whole bunch of existing roads as duplicates so I have reverted your changeset in changeset/89460516

reverted in changeset/89460447

hi you've deleted a road which was mapped as in construction which shows up on more recent imagery here based on 2013 aerial imagery, so I've reverted your change.

see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things

hi please see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_use_name_tag_to_describe_things

I re tagged some of these as driveways

I've changed this to service=driveway as it's a better fit for roads which exist just to get from the main road to your house.

for the same reasons given at changeset/88828884 I've reinstated the deleted buildings.

I've re-instated the buildings you deleted here.

The imagery you've used here is from 2013, on the more recent satellite images the buildings are there which is where they were originally traced from. So if you're just deleting solely based on the NSW_LPI_Imagery, I'll revert that. Regardless since the fires went through here and we don't have post fire imagery we'll need to see if they survived or not.

I restored the trees in changeset/89459121, so long as you're not mapping every single tree in the forest, mapping lone trees which are not dense enough for natural=wood is fine.

hi I can't see way/833563902/history#map=17/-35.26330/150.44974 on the imagery and unless this was done via a ground survey I don't think it's clear enough to enter, so I've deleted it.

hi it looks like 9 degrees is already mapped at node/7769217935, if this is as duplicate best to delete yours and retain the one first mapped.

Hi are you sure about way/833563902/history it's too hard to tell from the imagery if this is a road all the way through or just a clearing, if in doubt best not make the edit.

hi I see you added the track at way/820426717 I just did a survey here and I could only see a path which I've now mapped at way/837271929 and uploaded the GPS trace at @aharvey/traces/3382863 was the track you added based on a GPS trace or just rough extrapolation, are you sure there are two tracks or was yours just not that accurate? did you have a GPS trace?

No problem, I've fixed the rest of the issues up now.

Thanks

1. Are you saying that https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/498123668 is still used by the RFB but not the main building?

2. service=driveway doesn't imply anything about access if anything a sensible default would be to assume that service=driveway is private, but accessible for deliveries, people who work there etc. You can always add the access=* tag as well

3. https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/761474319 and https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/766373702 still appear to have been tagged as a building even though their geometry is covering the grounds, so these shouldn't have the building tag.
