Thanks. The extra node ("point") is redundant—the tags on the way ("area") take care of that.

See osm.wiki/One_feature,_one_OSM_element for more info.

Thanks again for the contributions, and happy mapping!

Thanks. Is there any particular reason you used multipolygon relations instead of just a normal way-area? E.g. relation/20128685

If you don't know what that means, then it's just because the iD editor can be a little annoying about creating extra relations. Otherwise, I'd be interested to hear your reasoning.

Very unlikely that there's a camera at the center of this intersection, though I do see some cameras on a streetlight on the south side of this intersection. They look like normal city traffic or surveillance cameras though, I don't recognize them as Flock. Please don't tag cameras as manufactured by Flock unless you're sure.

I'm removing this camera for now, let me know if you have more details about which camera you're intending to map and I can correct the location and information.

A camera wouldn't be placed at the very center of the intersection (and it seems extremely unlikely that there would be a camera manufactured by Flock Safety in this area). Are you referring to the nearby emergency phone and camera (node/11924024811)? Or just a regular City of Seattle traffic camera? Please provide more details so we can get this added accurately.

I'm not too familiar with the Moses Lake area, but if the camera is manufactured to Flock Safety, these tags look correct to me. Thanks for the contribution!

Awesome, glad that you have a solid plan :)

KC imagery supposedly coming out in february... https://osmus.slack.com/archives/C1FKE1NCA/p1765578997254529

Happy mapping!

Awesome, thank you!

Feel free to reach out here or at https://slack.openstreetmap.us/ if you have any questions about OpenStreetMap, and welcome to the project!

Sound good, but I don't know how these could be mass-edited: i.e. how do you differentiate between proper tactile paving with tactile_paving=yes and ramps with surface treatment that are tagged (incorrectly, we've now decided) as tactile_paving=yes too?

177624754

Thanks for the contribution. The camera isn't part of the road, so it should be disconnected from the load line. Where exactly is the camera? In the median between the 2 directions? Or just north/south of this segment of Medina Circle road?

141544209

FYI it sounds like the general consensus is that this scored surface treatment (on node/8279999097) doesn't count as tactile paving--see note/5132105 etc.

Thanks for the contribution! The data is definitely lacking in this area, so thanks for this info.

177460274

This edit looks good, thanks for the contribution!

177460238

Thanks for your contribution. I have some notes on this edit:

* It looks like you decreased the precision of 126th St Ct E (way/225581519/history/5) Why? ESRI imagery licensed for use in OSM suggests that the way it was mapped was correct.

* oneway=no doesn't add any information. Roads are by default assumed to be two-way.

* A minor-road stop sign (highway=stop + stop=minor, you added 2 of these) should be located at the stop line on the minor road(s). Otherwise data consumers don't know which road the stop sign applies to.

* The lanes=* tag specifies the total number of lanes, both directions. lanes=1 could still be correct on 126th St Ct E, but be aware that this implies vehicles cannot pass each other in opposite directions, or would have to do so very slowly (which, again, *is* in fact the case on many residential roads)

* I can't find any documentation for crossing=stop_sign. the crossing=* tag is intended for describing pedestrian crossings. A highway=stop could be mapped here separately if there is a stop sign.

In light of these notes, especially the removed precision on 126th St Ct, I've reverted this changeset. Please don't take offense at that; I know that OpenStreetMap has quite the learning curve. Please reach out with any questions or comments.

Another helpful resource to learn more about OpenStreetMap is the OSM US Slack available at https://slack.openstreetmap.us/. There are lots of us on there happy to discuss questions.

Thanks again for the contribution, and welcome to OSM!

Actually, bus relations look fine.

177398120

oh okay, nvm about manufacturer tags then. thanks

177398120

Oh, huh. Well, let me add the manufacturer tags back then to indicate Flock. I was not aware Flock made cameras in this form-factor, so thanks for sharing!

Happy mapping!

177398296

I don't see a camera at the exact spot you indicated, however, there is a school zone speeding ticket ALPR about 50ft north of the lcoation you indicated, is that the camera you meant? As far as I'm aware, Flock Safety doesn't make those. Please confirm.

177398120

Is this really a Flock ALPR? As far as I can tell, it's just your average City of Auburn traffic camera--look at "304th Roundabout Cam" on https://gis.auburnwa.gov/trafficphotowall/prod/index.html

Please be careful when adding these cameras--not every camera is a license plate reader, and not all cameras or ALPRs are made by Flock. If you see a camera or surveillance device that you can't correctly add in DeFlock (I don't know what the app's interface is like, but I imagine it's limited), please open a note on OpenStreetMap instead so other local mappers can add it correctly.

Thanks for the contributions-- we appreciate it, and I just want to make sure the data remains high-quality! Please let me know with any questions, or more info about this particular camera. For now, I'll edit this to be a City of Auburn traffic cam. Thanks!
