4 years ago When mapping transportation infrastructure in Papua New Guinea, do not forget air strips. Quite some areas are inaccessible via road and the only way of of reaching them besides walking is by bush plane. Even in road accessible areas grass air strips and proper aerodromes are important, as roads are often still very basic and unpaved, winding and thus long, and take a long time to travel.

Task description:
This task is looking to improve the map data in Papua New Guinea. We will also use all available aerial and street level imagery assets available in OSM. We intend to edit the roads, looking to focus the following:
Alignment, missing roads, missing road names, surface tags, road classification, turn restrictions, and destination signs.
Additionally, we may edit some other map features such as water bodies, natural features, landuse features, airports, and buildings.
We will be processing this according to OSM, local guidelines, and adhering to the Organized editing guidelines.
Mapping Guidelines:
We will be adding/updating (when possible) road geometry, names, directionality, road classification, and surface type (we will only be adding paved or unpaved). We will also be adding/updating turn restrictions and destination signs (when possible) per available street-level imagery. The team will follow OSM guidelines for adding and tagging each.
Area of Focus:
This will be a country-wide effort in Papua New Guinea.
Imagery Sources:
Bing Imagery
Mapbox Imagery
ESRI imagery
DigitalGlobe Standard/Premium
Maxar
Mapillary
OpenStreetCam
Changeset Comments:
The team will be adding changeset comments that follow OSM changeset guidelines.
Error Detection:
We will use the validator in the JOSM tool to look for errors, following the wiki as well as the LearnOSM guidelines.
