[Talk-al] Road network improvements in Albania

[Andrew Wiseman]

Hello all,

This is Andrew again with Apple. In addition to the road network improvements I messaged about before, we are planning to work on some limited data corrections and improvements to OSM in Albania around coastal and water features and land use and land cover polygons, such as parks, university and hospital campuses, airports and similar features.

For example, sometimes coastlines and national parks are missing a correct tag, or are digitized inaccurately (maybe due to old low resolution imagery). We will make sure to follow the appropriate OSM and local guidelines. We have been doing a similar project around Africa and in other regions for some time.

I wanted to get your feedback and see if you had any suggestions or data resources we could use.

Also, thanks to those who contributed to the MapRoulette challenges I posted earlier! I have posted them all here: https://maproulette.org/browse/projects/39429 

There’s more information on our Github page: https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/148 <https://github.com/osmlab/appledata/issues/148>

Thank you,

Andrew

My team is interested in doing some work on the road network in Albania on OpenStreetMap, things like adding missing roads, making sure roads connect properly, fixing incorrect alignments, ensuring road classifications are consistent, and other similar issues. We may also do some improvements to other data such as coastlines, water, and others if we find issues, but the main focus to start is roads.

Also I saw these guidelines about road classifications, are they the most recent classifications used by the community, or are there any others we should be aware of? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Albania <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Albania>
