Re: [OSM-talk] Everything is a tertiary road
Stephan, I can see you are correct that user "4719341" created thousands of roads which are incorrectly tagged tertiary. Looking at the aerial, almost all of them should be correctly tagged "unclassified" or "track"; very few are actual tertiaries. They did this across almost the entire Magway Region (https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/5996479/) Of course the best thing would be to try to contact the user and get them to fix their own tags (and of course, any future roads that they make). If that does not prove possible or they are unwilling, then a possible answer to "how can this be repaired", is: 1. Load the whole Magway region into JOSM. 2. Find their work using a search (type:way user:4719341 highway:tertiary) (I did this, and found around 17,000 results) 3. Mass-change those ways to unclassified. 4. In a subsequent manual pass, correct the tagging to track (perhaps 30% of their work) and actual tertiary (perhaps 2%). That way, only a minority of the roads would have to be manually changed, because unclassified is correct for the majority. Naturally, we should wait to hear from the user first. -Ben ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
[OSM-talk] Everything is a tertiary road
Hi, I'm not actively mapping in Myanmar or Vietnam. But I run a tool to detect major highways suddenly ending. During the last few months I see a drastic increase of these kind of tagging mistakes. Check out this area. Nearly everything is mapped as a tertiary. http://compare.osm-tools.org/loose.html?zoom=14=20.4022=95.43368=BT I never got response to changeset comments. This user with ru language setting is very involved or the only source to thousands of these faulty taggings: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/4719341 I count nearly 23.000 highway=tertiary by this specific user. Is someone aware of a large-scale directed mapping activity there? Can someone, preferably Russian speaking get in contact please and educate about proper road tagging? How can this be repaired? It is a massive amount... It hurts a bit to see OSM going down the drain there. Vietnam is not that drastic. Still lots of small roads tagged with strange looking names, coming from user-accounts which seems to be created for exactly that purpose. Again a country with no active community which could cry for help after being force-mapped. Stephan ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
