Road attributes Improvements Initiative focuses on conducting editing activities in OSM for improving quality of such road attributes as speed limits, turn restriction, turn lanes, oneways that will improve the quality of OSM data overall. The candidate for edits such as missed or wrongly mapped on OSM speed limits, turn restrictions, turn lanes, oneways, which is identified automatically by the internal tools built by Mapbox developers based on GPS traces.
Types of Activity
Here is list of features we commonly focus on:
OSM speed limits
Turn restrictions
Turn lanes
Oneways
Road geometry
Geographical scope
Data improvements will be made worldwide.
How to find Road attributes edits
All edits made by our team in this project have the hashtag #mapbox_roads_attributes
Editing Team
All members of team went through the onboarding process before starting editing on OpenStreetMap and are familiar with the principles of editing.

For some OSM map edits Mapbox will use proprietary sources for support. These will typically be in situations where there is not sufficient evidence using the available sources in OSM editors. The proprietary sources will be ground-level imagery and GPS traces, collected by our drivers during testing.
Timeframe
This project is ongoing and will be continuously active without any time constraints.
Results
The results of our review made by our team in OpenStreetMap will be displayed quarterly in the /mapping repository.
Contact
We welcome feedback from local mappers as local knowledge always prevails. If you have any questions about a specific edit done by the Mapbox team or want to suggest some improvements in the editing process you can contact osm-edit-escalations@mapbox.com or post a comment in a changeset.
