There's a good chance they won't respond, but best to still give them the
chance, if you don't hear back and there's no further objection to
re-mapping these based on the split way only where physically separated,
then you can go ahead and correct them on the map. If they continue to
replace things based on their style, without responding to your attempts to
raise concerns and there is consensus here that their mapping is harmful,
then it can be raised through DWG as a last resort.

You could do either. Personally I usually reserve notes for when I need
something checked on the ground, but notes can be used as you've suggested
here.

How about just copying the link address to the problem spot, then pasting
that into a Word document or similar, so you can find them easily?

I've done that before & it works well to then either copy & paste that
link, or even just click on it.

Thanks Andrew,

I've reached out to the user on a changeset, and will hopefully have a 
good conversation about it.


In the meantime, I've found about 30-50 intersections with these 
duplicate ways and lanes. Would it be useful to add notes, or fix me 
tags to those intersections? I'm wary about flooding any feedback 
channels with many instances of the same problem, but it could help keep 
track of where work is needed?

Usually I see this as an older style mapping, before turn lane tagging 
was more common and sometimes done for routing so that people were 
warned earlier. But these days it's much better to use turn:lanes 
tagging and only split the way at the point where you can no longer 
physically change lanes.


It's possible to revert changesets, but it's not always 
straightforward.


Leaving a changeset comment is the best first step, as they might not 
be aware of standard practice and other tags like turn:lanes.

I haven't been able to find an example of where it was an issue, but 
generally the rule of thumb is only using separate ways when they are 
physically separated, so sometimes you're splitting into two parallel 
ways for either direction, but not usually for each lane of the road in 
a single direction.
