Primary roads north of Cikarang and Karawang
There are many primary roads north of Cikarang and Karawang that needs to be reclassified. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 10:20, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

How do we tag pos ronda (neighbourhood watch posts) in Indonesia?
Pos ronda, pos kamling, or pos siskamling is a building used by the local neighbourhood watch as their place to hang out when they are not patrolling the neighbourhood. It often has a kentongan (slit drum), a traditional wooden instrument that is sounded in an emergency. It is usually just a basic shelter, but some might have other facilities such as TVs. Its tagging in OSM varies. Some examples in the OSM database are listed below:
Objects with name=Pos Ronda or similar
- building=yes without any amenity tag: 228111170
228111170, 728791123 728791123, 1001085583 1001085583, 1009325473 1009325473, 286667650 286667650 - amenity=shelter: 3485207960
3485207960, 3485205987 3485205987 - amenity=security_post: 182814637 182814637, 189973347 189973347

There is also pos jaga (guarding post), which may be pos ronda/neighbourhood watch posts or just regular security posts. They are tagged with:
- building=yes without any amenity tag: 720518131 720518131, 623778697 623778697, 623778700 623778700 940462833 940462833, 172612723 172612723, 443146140 443146140
- tourism=alpine_hut: 3195253397 3195253397, 2083990781 2083990781
- office=administrative: 5346200671 5346200671
- tourism=information: 542948923 542948923
Some of these tags (such as amenity=police, man_made=pumping_station and tourism=alpine_hut) are clear mistakes. But I'm not sure about the rest. Which tag is the best for this facility? The current tagging is inconsistent. Hanif Al Husaini (talk) 22:14, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
