Task Description

This task includes identifying updating missing street names in South Australia. Improvements to the existing road network will include:

• Updating street names from official government sources
• Adding missing roads
• Correcting road alignment
• Improving road classification according to local guidelines

Sources

The State government agency of South Australia has granted explicit permission to use road information from their public source to update OpenStreetMap.

Feeds and shapefiles for the main road network are available here.

The team will use all available imagery sources to help to confirm alignment of streets.
Identifying streets missing names can be done simply by using custom paint styles in JOSM.

• Streets Have No Names
• FIXME Highlights Warnings

Changeset Comments

The team will use changeset comments consistent with OSM Changeset Guidelines
The team will also include a source:name=* tag (i.e.=data.sa.gov.au) so the source of the name is clear.
