The OSM map is great in hi density places like Europe and USA.
The map is configured to show these places well, this is where most
people look.
In low density places like Australia, Africa, Siberia the map is devoid
of information.
What is needed is a bit of detection that the map lacks
Hi.
So there are 2 issues (it seems): At what zoom does the road show, and
at what zoom does the name show?
Take for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/-31.7211/150.4649
At this zoom no roads have names.
Zoom in to 12, and you see highway=unclassified roads that weren't
visible
A while back, there was mention on the list of OSM only showing vast
amounts of blank whiteness when looking at remote country areas; & then
there was further mention regarding Aussie country roads not showing up
well enough in OSM.

I agree, putting the stand name first makes sense.
I've been putting ref=1234 tags on stands (with their ID from the sign),
but for some reason haven't ever thought to add the name as well; I
shall do so from now on.

In Sweden, I have seen the "F" going into the ref tag. Just a thought, I
don't recall how it affects rendering in common schemes. Con: Clash with
a more rigorous ref num giving by the transport authority, "40459" or
such. Another (complementary) practice is to put just "F" as the name -

For me, split ways means that there is some barrier between the two.
If there is no barrier then they should not be split.

I don't know what the OSM convention is for this, but I tend to agree with
Nemanja. It makes more sense to split the two halves of the road, rather than
have them as a single way.

@Warin,
I personally do not see why is it wrong if you split? It is just two
segments merged in one node. Geometry and data are exactly the same just it
is represented as two, instead of one line.
If we go deeper in this issue, it is actually wrong, because you have
marked/mapped 2 physical
Personally I think that's a handy warning.

So you will have to accept that the tool is wrong and ignore its output.
Altering the map to comply with a tool that is wrong is wrong.

I think the QA tool should/could see that the sharp corner is in a point
shared with another way and that there is no reason to report a warning.

Because tool doesn't know is this a special (allowed) case, or user's

Why does a split make any difference ? Is this a "special" feature of the
QA-tool you are using ?
The QA tool should understand that the sharp U-turn is not the only route
one can follow.

Hi!
You've been flagged as "Impossible angle in highway" many times because of
these situations:

Just split this way (do not map it as one segment), and you will avoid to
get flagged.
