Hi, first time contributer, so here are some questions:)

Could someone please check if I did this speed cam right ?

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/138752062#map=19/41.15212/-8.58060

Also I have added this comercial gym node, but shouldn't I update the overview of the buildings to show that there are 2 different places now ? If so, how ? ( I am using Vespucci on Android)

Appreciate your insights thanks !

@CjkOvPDwQW In short, it’s not correct, because the node is not associated to the way that is controlled. See “How to map on the wiki”: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=speed%20camera?uselang=en. The simple method is a node part of the way (to represent the existence of a control at that place). The more advanced is an isolated node (for the physical location of the camera) but make it part of a three-node relation to represent the direction of the control and link it to the way.
