You added it, you deleted it, what is going on?

The segment was incorrectly added and jojoyal@ was asked to remove it after expert validation of his edit.

Thanks Ganesh, in general I keep an eye on edits in Scotland and especially Edinburgh - I've seen a lot of service roads added that have been added now getting removed around Scotland. Ideally I would like to understand a bit more about how they were identified to be added and what sources were used, and where mistakes have been made(we've all done it) how they are being identified and remvoed. Then I can move the Amazon Logistics mappers to my trusted list and not worry about what they're doing.

Hi Chris, We use driver activity as a source to identify missing roads. Once a potential missing road has been identified we use OSM resources to confirm if a road exists. We make an edit only if there is proof available.
However in some cases the editors misinterpret the evidence. We ensure that edits are validated by an expert by capturing and checking the change sets made by the editor. If the expert finds a mistake then the editor is asked to make corrections( eg. deleting unwanted segments). An edit is considered a mistake if the sources in OSM do not have any proof to backup the edit. We never assume.Hope this helps. We are always happy to engage with local OSM community and learn from them.

Thanks great to know - so these are cases where their probably are service roads going around the building (from imagery) but if you don't have drivers traces to verify this with then you won't add the roads, thank you for yhe detailed response.
