Road network improvements in Serbia

Hello,

My name is Andrew Wiseman, I work for Apple on the maps team. My team is interested in doing some work on the road network in Serbia on OpenStreetMap, things like adding missing roads, making sure roads connect properly, fixing incorrect alignments with GPS traces, ensuring road classifications are consistent, and other similar issues.

Are there places you know of that need improvement or types of problems you see frequently? And are there any imagery sources you’d recommend, any specific highway classification guidelines you recommend, or anything else that might help? I’ve seen the highway guidelines at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sr:WikiProjekt_Srbija, is that up to date?

We have a Github page here with more info about the project: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/139

A Serbian automatic translated version is below.

Thank you,

Здраво,

Моје име је Андрев Висеман, радим за Аппле на тиму за карте. Мој тим је заинтересован да уради неки посао на путној мрежи у Србији на ОпенСтреетМап-у, као што је додавање недостајућих путева, обезбеђивање исправног повезивања путева, поправљање погрешних подешавања са ГПС траговима, обезбеђивање доследности у класификацији путева и других сличних проблема.

Да ли постоје места за која знате да је потребно побољшање или врсте проблема које често видите? И да ли постоје неки извори слика које бисте препоручили, било које специфичне смернице за класификацију аутопутева које препоручујете, или било шта друго што би могло помоћи? Видела сам смернице за аутопут на хттпс://вики.опенстреетмап.орг/вики/Ср:ВикиПројект_Србија, да ли је то ажурно?

Овде имамо Гитхуб страницу са више информација о пројекту: хттпс://гитхуб.цом/осмлаб/аппледата/иссуес/139

Хвала вам,

I noticed that speed limitations on roads are not quite updated, but have on idea how this may be resolved.

It can be updated fairly easy - just use Mapillary and/or OpenStreetCam. Almost whole highway (autoput) now is 130kmph, instead of 120.

Hello all,

This is Andrew again with Apple. In addition to the road network improvements I messaged about before, we are planning to work on some limited data corrections and improvements to OSM in Serbia around coastal and water features and land use and land cover polygons, such as parks, university and hospital campuses, airports and similar features.

For example, sometimes coastlines and national parks are missing a correct tag, or are digitized inaccurately (maybe due to old low resolution imagery). We will make sure to follow the appropriate OSM and local guidelines. We have been doing a similar project around Africa and in other regions for some time.

I wanted to get your feedback and see if you had any suggestions or data resources we could use.

Also, thanks to those who contributed to the MapRoulette challenges I posted earlier! I have posted them all here: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39136

There’s more information on our Github page: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/139

Thank you,
