Hi Mark

Although not anywhere conclusive I made a Mapillary capture outbound on Woore Street Wilcannia 5/2022 that shows what are likely to be the dual 50/100 transition signs (smudges) well before the changeset. Might be useful..

I haven’t done any reversions yet. I was planning to start from the oldest changeset and work forwards, however the oldest changesets don’s specify a source. I’ve asked about a couple of these including:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/117791362 - first changeset - on outskirts of Wilcannia
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/117831384 - outskirts of Old Junee

Both of these are claimed to be from information provided by ’someone’ who had travelled on those roads. I’ve just asked for more info regarding the source of this information.

I also queried a couple of recent edits from 'local information and NSW Speed Data’:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/147432769 - western edge of Kempsey from 'local information and NSW Speed Data’ - also from ’someone’ who had travelled on those roads.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/146881278 - private driveway near Brooms Head from 'local information’ - I had previously surveyed this maxspeed, and recent Google imagery showed the same limit. No reply regarding this one.

How should I (or we) approach this? Will I need to check available imagery for every changeset? Should I go ahead and revert the NSW Speed Data ones?

No objections from me. They haven't responded yet, and from everything we can tell they imported the data without any other cross checks and didn't follow the import guidelines.

    I’ve got some spare time (having caught up with the surveys from
    my last holidays), so I can go through these and revert them. Any
    objections?

    We do have permissions to use this data it's listed in
    https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Sources#New_South_Wales,
    however from looking at their changeset history, it looks like

    1. They are conducting an import by en-mass blindly adding and
    replacing existing data with the imported data
    2. They may be engaging in directed mapping (being employed to
    make these changes), since their changesets are all the same,
    importing speed limits, except for one Local Knowledge changeset
    https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/131210459 in India.

    If they want to conduct an import like this, they need to go
    through the proper process, so based on and the issues you've
    rased it should be fine to revert all their affected changes and
    then ask going forward to go through the import guidelines

        Does the NSW Government Speed Zone data have a licence
        suitable for importing into OSM? Also, is it generally
        accurate?

https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/road-segment-data-from-datansw

        The reason I ask is that I recently came across a few roads
        with speed zones updated based on this data. The biggest
        problem is that the changes made in these three changesets
        were incorrect (i.e. the previously surveyed maxspeeds were
        updated from this data, but on survey in December 2023 the
        original surveyed maxspeed was the correct one).

        https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/129760120
        https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/129759614
        https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/129759603

        Other changesets have been made based on this data, but I
        haven’t checked the accuracy of them.
