Hi GidonW,
Welcome and thanks for contributing to OpenStreetMap. Observed that you have adding `curve_geometry` tags to the highways for the node, It is not good way of tagging unless and until there is a mark . So please don't add these tags.
cheers,

Hi,
I'd like to explain these tags -
I work for a company named Via, a ride-sharing transportation company.
We use OSM as one of our map data sources in order to navigate in areas
where we operate. One of the tags we use internally is "curve_geometry"
which allows us to identify nodes that have geometrical importance. The
reason this is needed on our end is because we filter nodes that have no
navigation tags and, for simplicity and performance issues. We edit the
OSM internally on a regular basis, and return changes to the global OSM.
Is there a problem with these tags? Do they interfere with your work in
any way? I'd be happy to work together to improve ways in the area and
use the OSM in the best possible way.
Thanks,
Gidon -

Hi GidonW,
Thanks for getting back. I really like the work you do using OSM. But the tagging system you have been following is inappropriate and that data should be on OpenStreetMap. Making OSM the best should be our motto. Hope you will stop tagging them.
Let me know if you need anything.Regards,

GidonW, there is nothing wrong with adding your own tags, but if its not discussed or documented, there is a high chance other mappers may remove them as being non useful. Maybe as a start, you could write a diary post explaining your rationale behind the tag and why it is useful to be on OSM.
