Hello again.
User Zain Ahmad Hashmi is still at it with "Improving road network"
edits ,which as far as I can see are just adding maxweight tags. The
couple I've
checked seem legit, but the edits are wide spread implying it's not
local knowledge. I'm correct in thinking there's no open database with
this info, aren't I?
To me, with the maxhieght & maxweight tags being added over a large
area, it suggests someone with interests in developing a routing
application.
Cheers
Dave F.

Hi all,
Just had the same thing happen near me (Croydon) but by a different
user (Zain Ahmad Hashmi, e.g.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/34443141).
The only thing that occurred to me is that all the edits involved ways
passing over or under railway lines... although like Dave F I can't
see what the actual improvement is.
Both "dataOne" and "Zain Ahmad Hashmi" joined Sep 15th, 2015, and seem
to have done nothing other than a large number of similar edits.
Either they're the same person/bot, or there's some source somewhere
that is encouraging such edits for whatever reason.
Thanks,
David. (user Pgd81)

A new editor has started splitting roads in my locale, but from what I
can see making no tagging amendments. Am I missing something? If not I'd
like to halt him before there's too much damage.

I've sent a message asking for clarification.
I can see nothing othet than the splits, don't think you have missed
anything.
Even if this is a botched attempt at legitimate changes, the scale of the
process makes it look like an un-sourced bulk import, possibly from an
ineligible source.
