Selecting a road preset should remove construction=*

[boothym]

If you come across road which is tagged highway=construction + construction=residential and you want to mark it as open - the easiest way to do this to use the residential road preset rather than editing the raw tags.

However this leaves behind the construction=* tag - which is not needed and can be problematic for some routers. So iD should remove this as well - since it already removes access=no if that is also tagged.

Thanks for sorting this.

I said above that "since it already removes access=no if that is also tagged." - but having found a road with highway=construction + construction=residential + access=no, it turns out that selecting the residential preset only removes the construction tag and still leaves access=no on the way.

Can this be fixed so that access=no is removed as well?

This was actually changed on purpose (see openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#416 (comment) and openstreetmap/id-tagging-schema#443). I think it is reasonable to expect mappers to check and if needed adjust the values of the access field after changing a road back from the construction preset. Similar to how values of other tags should be checked whether they have changed (e.g. surface, maxspeed, lit, etc.).
