A few examples I came across while looking at these with a DWG hat on
were also not from GPS logs. In one case Amazon would have had to have
been delivering by tractor; in another the

Just to give everyone a bit of a heads-up about the DWG's involvement
here - we got a number of messages about Amazon's mapping. The biggest
immediate problem was their use of
I've seen a suggestion somewhere to contact amazon about the possibility of
running street imagery cameras. Would be a great way to get many local

I've exchanged a number of messages with the Amazon mappers and their team

encourage the person who spots it to...
a) contact the editor about it (or better if you post a comment on the
changeset)
b) add tags yourself to
I'm aware how construction sites work.
Trades will occasionally have small items delivered, especially if
specialized or in an emergency. A foreman I know had his kid's
Christmas present sent to site to keep the surprise.
Please provide an OSM link to the site.

Amazon have been asking for help with this, see:
Construction areas aren't inaccessible. They have constant traffic of
deliveries.
Please provide a link.

There is nothing wrong with adding just highway=service.
If you know that the OSM database can be improved by adding additional
tags, then do so. (Although I note you're not too sure, yourself)
As I understand it Amazon have gpx traces from their delivery vehicles
along roads which the

I noticed a similar problem in
This can be where having the OSMUK organisation comes in useful. It gives a
focal point to discuss organisation to organisation. We will continue to
open a channel of communication.
Personally, I'm excited that Amazon are both users of, and contributing
back to OSM. As long as they behave as a
Hello,
Amazon are indeed adding service roads at quite a pace, although with gps from
their drivers and aerial imagery to support.
As noted here

are responding and soliciting to community feedback on their tagging,

understanding is that these are organised edits informed in
significant part by Amazon's own GPS logs from their delivery staff.
