Notes
Via the Contribute button Geovelo users can report map errors.[1] Geovelo then automatically also creates a respective OpenStreetMap note via the Geovelo_Notes bot account. The same bot also takes care of syncing comments between openstreetmap.org and the Geovelo website.
Such contributions are also displayed on the website https://amenagements-cyclables.fr/fr/contributions for France, on https://bicycle-facilities.com/ for the world.
