Thanks Paul - that was a good spot. I've seen rows of houses that were demolished years ago, and new ones built in their place, with both sets of UPRNs still on Open UPRN. I'm not sure if they are retained indefinitely, but it does seem like they may be.

Hi Paul,
Formally, unparished areas don't have a name. They often cover wide areas containing many settlements, making it difficult to imagine a sensible name for the whole area. Sometimes they are created by the abolition of a civil parish, so I guess the name of that could be carried over. B...

Nah it's the renderer. The new busway tagging has only recently been adopted and hasn't yet been incorporated by OSM Carto. highway=busway is definitely the current tagging scheme - see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dbusway
32023-09-20 08:45Paul Berry I noticed you had to revert some tagging-for-the-renderer changes elsewhere regarding this - has the invisibility issue been raised with OSM, do you know?

The Sports Village (way 89549933) and wider school grounds are part of Guisborough in my opinion so don't need an additional addr:suburb tag - it's nearly two miles to Slapewath from there and Charltons is even further away!

Hi, is there some documentation of the tagging scheme you're applying here?

Helwith Bridge definitely isn't a suburb of Settle, for example.

And having both addr:city= and addr:suburb= set to Settle for addresses within Settle seems odd.
22023-05-31 20:15Paul Berry Hi,

Yes, Settle is the post town for BD24 but read on.

Tagging for UK addresses means you have to read through the labels to arrive at the actual meanings, thus:
addr:suburb = town, village, hamlet name (if different from the post town)
addr:city = post town

We're describing the addr...

Although the boundaries are the same, they are two different entities. It is entirely possible (but rather unlikely) that the boundaries may diverge in the future. It's not about drawing the line on the map, it's about representing real-life objects.

Hi there - are you sure the roundabout at the Richmond Road/ Hampton Road boundary is really gone? I *think* I remember it being there a few weeks ago, and the 'Bing aerial imagery' you've used as a source for this changeset shows it pretty clearly.
22021-07-20 08:38Paul Berry It's not gone but it was mapped as a roundabout when actually it's a mini-roundabout (you can drive over it) as opposed to the other three on the road which have solid islands.

Oh yes - so it is. Thanks for getting back to me, and sorry to hassle you.

Hi Paul, did you mean to add this with a public_transport:version=2 tag? Looks to a little sort of between 1 and 2 to me? Its mostly 2 but you've still get the forward/backwards roles which are not valid under V2: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Buses#Adding_streets_to_the_relation
22021-02-01 16:37Paul Berry Yes, it's intended to be compliant with version 2 tagging (both parent and child relations) My understanding was that the role reflected whether the actual route followed the flow of the way (forward) or went against it (backward), so that, for example, data consumers can tell which way round a...

yes the way has been closed for a long time but remained on the PROW map, so legally they had to maintain some access/ temporary close it. It has now been rerouted onto Skelton Moor Way.

Hi, welcome to OSM.

There is a grass runway visible on imagery so it does exist. Maybe missing some tags but it should not be deleted.

Cheers Phil
22020-06-04 20:45Paul Berry Wentworth Private Airstrip, code GB-0592, does appear to be a real place.

Compare it with the similar Birds Edge Airstrip, code GB-0484, not far away which consists of a grass runway and a windsock: http://osm.org/node/4530404950

This edit is wrong. The 'trunk' status on OSM is used to describe primary routes in the UK. The A644 between Dewsbury and the M62 is signed on the ground as a primary route (green signs).
22018-05-17 16:46Paul Berry I'm reverting the A644 and A642 back to trunk. Yes, this doesn't actually mean trunk in the Highways England sense of the term, it's just a term OSM use to define what we know as primary routes.

42018-04-23 07:17Paul Berry Agreed, destination:ref makes sense, however I would still contend that slip roads do have refs because, of course, the start-of-motorway sign (with number) is at the beginning of them. However, i will defer to agreed practice.

I agree that your further comments are as it is. I hope Kirklees Council come back to you quicker than they did me. I logged the problem through the council's own website exactly a year ago. It seems most locals know the score and the taxi drivers seem trained to take the longer route from thei...

Is "Rillington Place 10" really a tourist attraction, and is it here? https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4516194593

10 Rillington Place was the house where John Christie murdered several women in the 1950s. What made it even more notorious was that a lodger at the house, Timothy Evans, was convicted of the murder of his wife and was executed. But it had been Christie that did it. More than any other case, the wr...
32017-01-23 15:47Paul Berry There is no trace whatsoever left of Rillington Place or any of the properties that lined it. So although this might be the geographical point at which the infamous house, wash-house and gardens stood, nothing physical remains at all (quite deliberately). When the area was redeveloped in the 1970s i...

Hi,
way 389961326 has the tag 'adpoted =no' that doesn't make sense to me. Could you check that?

Cheers, Jan

That looks like a typo, it should be adopted=no.

12016-09-03 10:01Paul Berry Hi,

I think your change to change the relation here from a grouping to a multipolygon has meant the map now shows each of the three reservoirs as "Ingbirchworth Reservoirs" when they should instead have their own names (Ingbirchworth, Royd Moor, Scout Dike).

Respectfully, could you p...

Changed relation type to the neutral type=collection. Not switched back to waterways, because that type doesn't fit well. Regards Werner

12016-07-15 16:15Paul Berry Sorry to impinge on your hard work but there is no cycle track on Wellington Street (excepting the contraflow between King Street and City Square) nor is there a even a cycle lane marked on the road, in either direction.

Both names seem to be old names of the former CP of Wanstead. I seriously doubt if they have any relevance now http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/essex/vol6/pp317-322

Yep. And the pedestrian crossings have all moved too.

12015-10-30 15:54Paul Berry Really this shouldn't be marked as a secondary road but a tertiary one (except on the trunk sections). However it does allow the route to show up as being special in some way.

12015-03-06 12:42Paul Berry Motorway regulations don't apply until the route is signed, which is immediately after the footpath crossing, so this part is not a motorway. You'll notice there are similar changes of classification on the slip roads elsewhere about this junction.

Thanks.

Thanks for that. :) I've written a tool that makes the road references visual and I tend to correct there where possible. I agree with your remark about the A61 that clearly shows.
