Good evening all, I have spent a bit of time exploring the changesets in SA by the MSOMT and reviewed all residential roads and 1/13th of service roads. There were some significant wins with a lot of the edits that vastly improve SA however there could be some improvements with
1. Private driveways being marked as residential or service roads without access restrictions. A lot of these are on farms and around farmyards past gates. 2. Residential roads that should have been reduced to an alley or lane 3. Caravan parks with the parking aisles marked as residential *Execution: * - I modified the overpass query to extract all new ways since June 9th. This is available at https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1aU2 and produced 5513 entries - Each way then had the latest changeset id and username identified. This may not be the original editor. - User profiles were then checked for being part of the MSOMT team of which 13 editors were located - .Of the 4081 MSOMT edited ways in 1704 changesets, the following highway types were created - highway count unclassified 1610 service 1501 residential 921 track 27 construction 18 cycleway 2 tertiary 1 secondary 1 - All 921 residential roads were reviewed and whilst there are a number of grey areas and user perception, the following breakdown was identified - highway status count residential OK 243 residential Minor issues/ Caravan parks 45 residential Residential road but could be lane/alley 143 residential Assumed private property access 481 residential Other issues 9 - A selection of 143 service roads were also reviewed. - highway status cout service ok 49 service Minor issues 1 service Assumed private property access 92 service Other issue 1 - No other highway types were reviewed. Due to the number of changesets (393 already identified) and the mix of edit quality, I am not certain where we go from here?
