<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
<br>
the preliminary fix is committed (changeset 42123103). Took a
while because I decided to have a look at those ways first. This
proved to be a good decision: a couple of them were no highways
but round huts without any tags...<br>
<br>
Feel free to retag the highway network west of Bukoba.<br>
<br>

Go for it. I think that acting quick is essential.<br>
Thank you both guys for your super fast answers.<br>

unless someone stops me within the next minutes I would
assign "highway=road" to untagged ways now. Fixing the
tagging will certainly take a while and I have other
obligations today as well so others are invited to jump in
then.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Marco, Hi Michael,
Marco, thank you very much for catching this and posting to the list Marco!
Michael, I would go for option 2
I have also sent an email to the mapper who made the mistake. Mistakes
happen, it is just the nature of things.
If someone wants to fix them up via option 2 above, please let us
know. It will take me at least an hour before I can dig in and fix it
myself, but I will let the list know when I do if no one has started
before then.
Thank you again!
Regards,
Blake

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I would assume that this is some kind of weird error. Looking at the user's
history this obviously only happened in three changesets, 42110663, 42112337
and 42112459. His latest one and the immediate previous ones do not show
this kind of modification.
Considering that this is an area with an activation going I am not sure
whether a standard revert of the changesets will be a good idea - I assume
that many of these objects have been touched in the meantime.
I see two options:
1. Revert the changesets and thus lose all other edits by the user from
these changesets too. I tried locally with changeset 42112459 which would
result in 16 conflicts to be solved. The main problem would be with nodes
modified in these changesets and subsequently by other users.
2. Only detect ways without tags which is easy with JOSM's validator and
assign "highway=road" to them to mark them for further inspection. This
would require going over the whole area afterwards and re-assign proper
highway tags.
I am not sure which one sounds easier. Option 2 is quicker for the immediate
fix but means a lot of work afterwards.
Best Regards
Michael

I just came thru this area [1] that I tried to map in the last few days
and found out that someone has been removing the highway=* tag from a
large number of ways. I wrote him a private message asking for the
reason of his edits, but I'd like to share this problem with someone
with more HOT experience in order to understand what's going on and how
can we quickly fix this, as road mapping seems to me seriously important
for the guys on the ground who use OSM to help the locals
