Re: [HOT] Map-a-thon getting 509 Bandwidth Exceeded error
Nick Yes, this is probably due to a shared IP address for that lab. This problem has been seen before at mapathons, but usually with much higher number of users. Usually, the rate-limiting will ease off after a time, so it should've been available again later. The OSMF Operations team won't currently make exceptions to the rate-limiting policy. But they do think it should be an unusually high volume situation to trip the bandwidth limits. I think it's worth asking if one of them will investigate more closely to see if there was something unusual in the situation of your mapathon. Do you have the IP address for the mapathon venue? -Mikel * Mikel Maron * +14152835207 @mikel s:mikelmaron On Saturday, June 20, 2015 1:45 AM, Nicholas Doiron ni...@codeforamerica.org wrote: Hi, I'm working with The Asia Foundation to run an OpenStreetMap map-a-thon in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We have 17 teams of 3 people, mostly students and city planners, mapping unplanned areas of the city (ger districts) At 3:30pm local time, we got a 509 Bandwidth Exceeded error on most teams' machines, so we had to end our first day early. No one's data is lost, but we can't download existing data into iD, so every map area looks blank. There was a risk we would add the same building many times. Is there a way for us to re-enabling editing before tomorrow morning? And keep the gates open for another 48 hours or so?I'll do my part by closing a couple of apps (including Show Me The Way from OSM Labs) which were running at the time Regards,Nick Doiron ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot ___ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
Re: [HOT] zebra crossing
Hi John, I’m happy to change the preset in iD to make it more clear. Maybe we should just offer 2 presets that differentiate between “Marked Crosswalk” (aka `crossing=zebra`) and “Unmarked Crossing”? This is an odd one because “Zebra Crossing” seems to be a well known thing in British English, but is unknown in American English. In the United States people were asking me for a crosswalk preset, and we saw new mappers skipping crosswalks entirely because they didn’t know that `crossing=zebra` was the correct thing. Also, at the time the OSM wiki was confusing - it seemed to imply that all crossings were zebras - not sure if that is still the situation.

Re: [HOT] zebra crossing
We found a in #1047. It was a node of building. They seem to be Easter Eggs. An Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in an interactive work such as a computer program, video game or DVD menu screen.
