Hello Clinton,

Thanks for trying to avoid such duplicates in advance.

It seems that the search methods you were using are not working as expected.

I suggest you try the standard search of openstreetmap.org. It would have found "Maale Adumim" for you:

osm.org/search?query=Maale%20Adumim

In addition to the node you added in this changeset, the above search results show the residential area, as a place=city, and the larger administrative boundary.

Note that a place can be mapped as a node, a way, or a relation. When using Overpass queries to look for OSM places, I suggest using `nwr["place" ...` rather than `node["place" ...`

In Israel, the chances of finding a populated place that is not mapped in OSM are very low. If in doubt, please feel free to post in the OSM Israel forum http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=33
or the OSM_Israel telegram channel https://t.me/OSM_Israel

Best Regards
Zeev

אני רק הוספתי את השם בעברית. המיקום המקורי הוא חלק מיבוא בן 13 שנה שאינו מדוייק במיוחד
תרגיש חופשי לתקן.

Dear Clinton,

As far as I can tell, the localities you've added, as listed in this link - http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/176z, are all duplicates.

Please confirm and fix them.

Best Regards,
Zeev

Hello

Please note that Ma'ale Adumim is already well mapped by node/282405648

Please avoid adding localities before checking their existence in the map, as was also done in changeset/104251735

Also, please review your latest additions of cities in the vicinity, and remove any duplicates you've created.

Best Regards,
Zeev

Please note that Sakhnin was already mapped by node/278475752

Done

אם היה שלט בשטח, ההיתי מוסיף

כן. יש שם חניון מוסדר. בעמוד ענן יש לו אפילו שם, אבל בשטח אין זכר ללוח ההנצחה שהיה שם

I visited the place and could not find a path at the edge of the area where I was.
I therefore removed the misleading path tag from way/620497439.

I have restored the path after a survey was done by the Yarok Balev NGO confirmed its existance.

changeset/102242153

The road has a dead end, so no change is required if the problem is not getting *through* it.

If there is no public access to the road, using a gate for example, then an "access=private" tag can be used if pedestrian access is not allowed, or a "motor_vehicle=private" tag if access is not allowed only for vehicles.

A road should be deleted only if it no longer exists.

I suggest you revert this change.

It seems like this driveway exists.

See https://www.govmap.gov.il/?c=201026.85,644938.16&z=10&b=2 for a detauiled aerial photo and its existance in the goverment's map.

Following our discuttion at changeset/100693305, I suggest that future removal of paths and roads from OSM will be done only when there are multiple reports or when there is additional evidence.

צריך לייצג את העובדות בשטח

כך גם אני חשבתי, אבל היום ההיתי שם ובדקתי את השילוט בשטח

אם נבחר צד בכיכר, או בשדרה, הרי שניווט עם כלי רכב יוכל להתבצע רק בכיוון אחד

שלום ניר,

תודה על התיקונים והשיפורים שאתה מכניס למפות
OSM
ו
Israel Hiking!

הנוהג בישראל הוא להוסיף שמות של סיגנלים לתג
mtb:name
ולהשתמש בתג
name
לשמות כלליים, כמו שמות רחובות או שבילים רב-שימושיים.

זה מאפשר למפות המיועדות לרוכבים להציג את שמות הסינגלים מבלי שהשמות יציפו מפות שאינן יעודיות לרוכבים.

תודה,
זאב

Thanks for the clarification!
I've removed them.

Hi Gal,

One option is to use a "surface=unpaved" tag for unpaved paths and footways. See surface=*

Moovit can then choose how to handle them in your trip plans

Hi,

Are you sure about the existance of these tunnels?
In my last visit there, I was unable to stop near any of them.

I'm only certain that way/550720219 does not exist. The road is lower that the old track. If this section existed, it would have been a bridge...
