In an effort to improve the navigability of New York City according to "NYC Open Streets Program", the Lyft OSM Data Curation Team is undertaking efforts to update key road features that include time-based conditional restrictions for the motor vehicles and permission for cyclists and pedestrians. The missing turn restriction features were identified manually.
foot=no or foot=use_sidepath - these tags should be removed if already presented
cycleway=lane - If special road markings are present
cycleway=shared_lane - in general cases
Protected Bike Lane
lanes=*
motor_vehicle:lanes=*|no - value “no” for cycle lane only (value *=yes for each lane)
cycleway=lane - If special road markings are present
cycleway=shared_lane - in general cases
Quality Control
To keep the quality of our map edits at a high level of accuracy, we apply a quality control (QC) process on 100% of tasks. Each task will be QCed before being published to OSM. Our QCers check tags on the scoped way. If the curator accidentally added wrong or unnecessary tags, the task will be returned to the curator to correct it based on the QCer’s comment.
**Ground Truth Resources***
Street level imagery (Bing, Mapillary)
Aerial imagery (Mapbox, Digital Globe, Maxar)
Proprietary sources of aerial and street level imagery
OSM changesets will be submitted abiding by the OSM Changeset Guidelines.
