The State of the San Francisco Map

The OSM map of San Francisco is good but not great. Areas that are pretty much completed and areas that need work are listed below.

Streets

Issue	Status	Notes
Geometries	99%	The streets geometries are pretty much complete. A touch up may be needed here or there.
Junctions	99%	The streets have junctions in the correct places. Hard to say its perfect but I haven't found any errors.
One Ways	98%	There are some small one or two block alley like streets that I've found to be lacking correct one way information. Everything else looks correct.
Turn Restrictions	5%	Almost completely unmapped. To help go to the San Francisco Turn Restrictions page to see what needs to be worked on.
Classifications	90%	Most streets are correctly classified but there are some errors. Most of the errors seem to be small one block or half block streets. These are classified as residential when service, alley or footway would be correct. There are other larger changes needed as well but not very many.
Speed Limits	0%	There is a citywide speed limit in place on most streets but there are posted exceptions. These aren't mapped at all.

Transit

Agency	Status	Notes
MUNI	10%	Most of the rail is mapped. There are almost no bus routes. Only a small percentage of the stops have been mapped.
BART	80%	The rail and routes are mapped but I think some of the routes need touch ups. The stations need more details added.
CalTrain	90%	Mostly done for San Francisco. Stations could use touch ups. Maybe routes to show where express trains stop or don't stop.
Golden Gate Transit	5%	Only a few scattered bus stops. No routes at all.
AC Transit	5%	Only a few scattered bus stops. No routes at all.
SamTrans	5%	Only a few scattered bus stops. No routes at all.

This table is for the San Francisco portion of these agencies service area only. Linked agency pages are for the agencies complete service area.

Bike

The routes and lanes look mostly mapped but I don't know them well enough to know for sure. Very few bike racks are mapped. Some bike shops are on the map as well.

Parks

Main article: San Francisco Parks

Most of the parks are at least on the map as a node from the GeoName import although there are definitely some missing. "Pocket Parks" in particular, especially recent ones, are missing. Many parks also need to be traced so that they are an area instead of a node. Facilities and amenities also need to be added.

Everthing Else

The city has over 3000 bars and restaurants; Very few of them are on the map.

Most hotels aren't on the map.

Almost no shops and stores are on the map.

Most schools, libraries, fire and police stations, post offices, and hospitals are on the map due to the GeoNames import. These do need to be reviewed though because some of them no longer exist or have moved. This is especially true with the hospitals as there are many that are listed as hospitals but are clinics or public health offices.

There are 44 fire stations in SF proper and three at SF airport according to the SFFD website.

We have some mail boxes in but not very many of them.

Quality Checks

There are errors noted on openstreetbugs and KeepRight! that need to be fixed.
