Dear fellow mappers in Japan
I would like to adapt recording housenumbers in the Android app StreetComplete
to the situation in Japan, if necessary.
Can you help me?
I would like to know how a housenumber plate in Japan looks like. Does it only
show the house number, or more? Do you have
Again, the max weight is not the same as the max allowable weight. Using
maxweight in this context is wrong.
See the Key:hgv wiki page where I added an explanation and examples.

Hey there
I can't believe this didn't come up before - or maybe it did but was not
documented in the wiki.
In United Kingdom, how do you tag roads signed with this sign?

Note that the GVM for which the sign applies is given
of amenities/shops etc.

Hmm, I was hoping for a more definite answer than what I got from this
thread so far. I will give you some more input.
Regarding the ideas expressed so far:
Adding a node within the building with the housenumber is not possible,
because StreetComplete can only change the tags of an element,

The quest pin is still in your application's cache. The app downloaded
the quest more than 8 months ago.
In any case, no need to worry. In case you solve a quest that turns out
to be outdated (=there is a conflict with actual data), it will discard
that answer and invalidate the cache of

Hi there
On tagging implicit speed limits in the United Kingdom, the wiki lists
the following values [1] for "maxspeed:type":
GB:nsl_single (=60 mph), GB:nsl_dual (=70 mph) and GB:motorway (=70 mph)

road-lighting as a built-up area

I also read this article and I found it identifies some areas in which
(the central infrastructure of) OpenStreetMap could improve.
What I do not like about this article is the deeply pessimistic and
resigned tone of it, like clickbait. It reads like "OSM needs to change

This is how StreetComplete does it. Good thing is that the OSM server
automatically closes changesets where nothing was added after one hour,
so one does not need to worry that a changeset gets "stuck" if the user
exits the application without closing the changeset.

So, what is the optimal changeset size, and why?

Wow, Roland, this is awesome!
So, this seems to make any deliberations of introducing a
survey_date:something tag or similar obsolete, because in the future,
one will be able to search with overpass through the history on a
per-tag basis.
This will make it possible for QA and hm...

I get your point, especially regarding the appliance of the JOSM
fix-button as a "by-the-way" fixing.
Though, you can't fix possible issues with of one tool by introducing
another tool. People will not stop using (that feature of) JOSM. That is
why I think, if you think you detected a problematic

I will split this into several answers, that is what a threaded

I am not sure what is your point with JOSM's fix button. Let's not
deviate from the topic: your tool.
If you find, something is wrong with JOSM or any other tool in that
matter, better create an

Hi
I wonder, does anyone know a QA tool out there that finds duplicate
cycleways?
With duplicate, I mean cycleways that are both
- tagged as cycleway=* on a highway=* way and
- mapped as a separate way parallel to the street with highway=cycleway
I understand that there is no simple tag on the

This is an old argument, it has been brought up years ago when talked
