Hello, mkarau,
Thank you very much for your help in updating the OSM maps in the UAE. I noticed that you added several new roads, and I verified them using recent images dated (Vantor satellite imagery via Vantor Hub 2025-11-17). However, I also noticed that you used the `construction=yes` tag for these roads. This tag is ineffective because it doesn't clearly indicate that these roads are under construction and keeps them within the route. The correct way to use the construction tag is `highway=construction` and `construction=*` (the classification is appropriate). This is a wiki page that explains more about using the tag https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:construction, as shown in these roads (way 1346312029, way 976307189). For example, the roads you created (way 1453592240, way 1453592239) have tags `highway=tertiary` & `construction=yes`, and the appropriate tags for them are `highway=construction` & `construction=tertiary`; this road (way 1453592242) has the appropriate tag `highway=construction` & `construction=motorway_link`; this footway (way 1453592241) should have the tags `highway=construction` & `construction=footway`. It is preferable to connect new roads to an existing road network so that they do not appear to be floating.
This way, we accurately represent the reality while maintaining OSM policy and the route within OSM.
