In an effort to improve the navigability in cities across North America, the Lyft OSM Data Curation Team is undertaking efforts to resolve issues with road segments accessibility. Ways with access and barrier tags are identified manually and validated using various sources of ground truth info (please see below).
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 are checking the logic of adding or modifying tags. If the curator accidentally removed or added wrong tags, the task will be returned to the curator to correct it based on the QCer’s comment.
**Ground Truth Resources***
Street-level imagery (Mapillary, Bing)
Proprietary sources of aerial and street level imagery
OSM changesets will be submitted abiding by the OSM Changeset Guidelines.
*Additional resources used in curating and QCing this project can be found in our Resources Wiki.
