I continue to be baffled the geofabrik folks remain the primary way to get a clean-ish OSM shapefile. Big XKCD "that one bloke holding up the internet" energy.
Also, everyone go contribute/done to OSM.

Shapefiles shouldn't be what you're after, Parquet can almost always do a better job unless you need to either edit something or use really advanced geometry not yet supported in Parquet.
Also, this is your best source for bulk OSM data: https://tech.marksblogg.com/overture-dec-2024-update.html
If you're using ArcGIS Pro, use this plugin: https://tech.marksblogg.com/overture-maps-esri-arcgis-pro.ht...
It's beneficial to the wider community, and also supports their commercial interests (OSM consulting). Win-win.
