It is in the seventh of the seventh CS of a fresh prince in the mapping arena. A formerly razed tram way which was reclassed with the flick of the wrist to a residential road.
But then when zooming out, the picture becomes even bleaker… countless crossing ways not connected needing checking.
Help is needed as when there’s no crossing way connections, the only thing one can do is 'Immer Gerade Aus."
That way Way History: 526297587 | OpenStreetMap was turned from a railway=razed into a highway=residential. I’m guessing the mapper in Changeset: 164341305 | OpenStreetMap meant to make one small part of it highway=residential, and it wasn’t obvious that it would make the entire long stretch into a highway=residential. Now the problem is to find which part they meant to make residential, split it out, then revert to old tagging on the long way. (Then probably retag from historic=tramway to razed:railway=tram.) (Or delete it. ducks)
I asked at Changeset: 164341305 | OpenStreetMap
(and yes, I suspect that it is gone without on the ground traces and therefore should not be mapped in OSM in the first place but I lack local knowledge to be sure)
Hi, I’ve looked at the entire section of Way History: 526297587 | OpenStreetMap, I can see no section that would require changing to a highway. The entire length has highways running alongside of it. Thus I’ve reverted the highway back to razed railway
Thx much, the many unconnected crossing ways in the greater area/region a continued concern though (The bleaker part of my OP). It’s something which if popping up in my own region will be addressed as routing IS broken at those points.
Hi, that area definitely looks like it needs some cleanup. The reclassified tramway could be causing routing issues if the connections aren’t properly mapped. I’ll take a look at Way 526297587
can you link that Osmose view?
Took some figuring as filters are often combined in Osmose, but it is overlapping objects, code 1070 which flag these, the area of interest north of Monza
https://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/#zoom=10&lat=42.379&lon=14.0666&level=1%2C2%2C3&loc=13/45.66476/9.2455&item=1070
Those flags for “overlapping objects, code 1070” refer to the time when the way was inadvertently tagged as a residential highway. The highway=residential has been reverted back to railway=razed. After that reversion someone tagged it as railway=tram and added some level crossings, which I again reverted. It’s currently tagged as historic=tramway and railway=razed, which should be no problem to routing, (I think). I added the wiki tag/link that states the tramway closure, website=Tranvia Monza-Carate - Wikipedia
Unless a pin on the Osmose map is closed manually after resolving a case, they stay on for a little. Seen cases on the personal list sticking for days. In this case I would have let time just go by… too many.
That someone is the person who made it highway=residential previously. They’re a new mapper, so probably haven’t understood how things work yet. I’d suggest that someone who speaks Italian natively comment nicely on one of their changesets and explain that there’s a discussion going on here, so that we can discuss what the best tags are. It sounds like it is certainly not an operational tramway, but parts at least might not be razed either.
