“… tap its four corners. That’s it. That is the entire skill.”
Yes, un-squared square buildings do seem to be standard for so many HOT responses. 😒

Unfortunately disaster.ninja seems to be down, but HOT does have several projects listed for the recent Venezuelan Earthquake.
IMHO PTv1 is much more practical. If you see a bus or a bus stop on a road then you know you can add it to the relation and the whole route will gradually get completed over time.
With 'v2 you have to guess which of the (at least) two different relations you need to add it to unless you can get close enough to the stop to read the tiny text on the timetable (if it even has one), so you can’t even do both sides of the road at once.
@thomas
You can create a dummy route in iD with just the start and endpoints and a single bit of way and then improve it from there with Relatify.I do find Relatify frustrating though. It only lets you save things that are perfect and unless you’re copying from an official source you’re unlikely to have every last detail at your fingertips.
@MXC48 The documentation for the speed limit tag is here:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:maxspeedThe “default” iD editor has a field for this if you apply a road preset to a way.
@balsoft
That describes her w to link to a timetable, not how to include the timetable within OSM.
@illusionist there are several OSM based maps that will try to provide you with whatever language you like.
I think the Maptiler layer on osm.org will try to match your browser preference, the cycle and transport layers also display levels in English where possible.
@pootriarch
I generally consider it poor form to remove good data even if it isn’t strictly necessary.The necessity of the addr:city tag depends on the area. In some places it’s strictly according to a boundary that exists in OSM. In others the boundary data is either missing or doesn’t always align with the “postal town” according to the mail carrier so it’s good to include it.
@merde
Thehighway=roadtag is for a road of unknown type.The square should be tagged with an actual classification and have
area=yeson it to indicate that it is meant to be treated as an area.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway
If the acceptable vehicles aren’t what you’d expect for that type of road you can override with the relevant access tag:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:accessRouting support is poor, so most with show a route around the perimeter.
@Vroomfondel There are some automatically extracted building outlines on RapiD, but they aren’t great.
@artyom
Raster tiles: A map image is ‘cut up’ into little squares: one set of image tiles per combination of style, language etc. This is replicated at all the required scales.Vector tiles: The map data that would be required to display all the styles for that square is extracted from the database, simplified and stuck in an intermediate format. One set of tiles can support multiple styles, languages and angles that would be impractical with rasters.
@furtiveParalysis @openstreetmap
If there’s national scheme then we could potentially map that, but outside of that this sound very difficult to survey and might be something that could change far too often to be reliably mapped in OSM.
