I know the author has already mentioned it, but MapComplete.org might be a good site to look at if you're just starting and have local knowledge of an area. I know in my early days mapping that just looking at a list of map features would remind me about places that I've know about forever and never thought to put on a map. The MapComplete themes might have some obvious omissions that you can fix quickly.

StreetComplete does have a couple of quests for this that default to disabled so you can turn them on if you're interested.

It just getting worse the more they do to it.

It doesn't even seem to have a cache for locally rendered tiles so if you pan to a new area and pan back you get to wait a second time.

I don't think that changes your underlying account ID.

Whatever you do you need to make sure that you are contactable through the email address(es) you supply. If there is a problem with some of your edits and you don't reply to queries you may have your account(s) blocked and all your edits reverted.

There have been many disputes between the way the iD developers want to do things and the community over the years, to the point where they are now unique in having a dedicated page on the wiki documenting all their controversial decisions.

I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

The main thing is to have highway=traffic\_signals either on the intersection node or on all the inbound ways. Any refinement beyond that is just a bit of a bonus.

@MapComplete is only similar in that it is aimed at giving simple tailored forms to new users. It does not make it easy to contribute "all the low hanging fruit closest to me".

There is also shop=sports, which would probably allow multiple sports tags.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dsports

For the sports tag it looks like it would be sport=surfing;skateboard.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sport

In theory that would be searchable for people looking for either (in practice I don't know if any apps support this).

@Ludrol @openstreetmap

Looks like we have a tag for weather\_protection=pergola ? So maybe that on a bit of highway=footway+area=yes and mark the benches separately.

@Lazycog @openstreetmap
Does this support vector tile sources too, or just raster tiles?

@Dirk
If they have started construction they are definitely verifiable enough to map.

The road markings might justify a public\_transport=stop\_position if that is common in your area, otherwise I think should be enough to just add a node with highway=construction and construction=bus\_stop roughly where the pole or shelter will be.

I wonder if they pull the data straight from Overpass or if they use a cached copy on their servers.
