Hello, I have removed a section of road that has been permanently removed (changeset 124945536). The issue is that people keep re-drawing the road there because most imagery services haven't been updated to show that the road has been removed. Does anyone have advice on anything I could do to ensure that the change isn't continually getting overwritten? Up until now I just keep an eye on that section of road, and if someone re-adds it, I comment and inform them that it was intentionally removed. Just curious if there's a best practice for this type of scenario. |

There is demolished:. Regards. Either of these approaches would work - as long as you add something that says to new mappers "this thing that you can see on aerial imagery does not exist any more2.

In the case of demolished buildings I remove all the ecisting tags and add a note= tag to say the building has been demolished and to delete the way once it disappears from imagery. I'd imagine similar could be done for roads. The problem with all lifecycle prefixes which indicate something has been removed or demolished in different ways, are they create a history of objects. And OSM should not be a history database.

The helper objects with lifecycle prefixes or notes only remain until the imagery is updated, then they can be deleted.
