Hiya, thanks for checking this. The path is still a legal right of way (according to the Rights of Way overlay) so needs to be mapped, as it indicates a legal crossing of the river.

I see your point. However, I am afraid that navigation apps will still show there is a way - which is a nuisance for 99% of users. Is OSM not based on what you see on the ground? There is definitely no footpath. Maybe it can be tagged as "historical"? What is your take on this?

> OSM not based on what you see on the ground?

Yes, but because of the rights of way laws in the UK defining RoWs as not necessarily the same as paths on the ground, the Definitive Map also has to be used to feed in to the OSM mapping.

Navigation apps should factor in the trail_visibility=n...

Yes, I might do that, use the disused tag.

Thanks Lakedistrict! I saw that old wooden signpost on the East side of the river and there is definitely a path going down to the river bank where it ends. But nobody crosses the river here and the river bank on the other side is very overgrown.

Hi,
Due to a dispute between the developer and the council, the road hasn't been tarmaced. It was a toss up between gravel and unpaved and I went with the former as there isn't an incomplete option. Hopefully it won't be long before the tarmac is added and this can be completed.

The Cross-Bay walk is, as I understand it, legally a byway open to all traffic, which means that bicycle=designated motor_vehicle=designated is the appropriate tagging, as those tags refer to the legal status of the byway, rather than any practical/feasibility considerations. If we’re looking ...
22020-11-02 16:46lakedistrict I'd agree with removing the highway=* tag. IMO the name "cross bay walk" is also the name of the event or activity (when the guided walks are led) rather than the name of the route itself.

It is mapped. The access currently is discouraged;designated. It is discouraged (there is a sign saying so, given the significant hazard), and it is designated, being a public right of way.

12018-10-28 18:44lakedistrict Hi Stuart, I notice that you've been removing addresses from nodes and remapping some features as nodes. IMO the address also belongs to the (shop) node and should be retained. And when a POI takes up an entire building (like the climbing wall) they should be mapped as buildings.

Lakedistrict. Thanks for your comments. But I think it is generally better to map the building and attach attributes to the building that are relevant to the building. And put the activity in the building in a separate node. You mention the Climbing wall. I understand that there is a separate cafe r...
32018-10-29 18:21lakedistrict The cafe is part of the climbing wall so a node inside the building or climbing wall area would be fine.

12018-09-29 16:43lakedistrict I only just "fixed" the tagging on this a few weeks ago. Is it really a tower? I'd probably describe it as a mast, based on the wiki descriptions. :)

The wiki isn't very clear on the whole mast v tower situation. From the mb21 images it looks like a self-supporting structure or lattice tower, a smaller version of towers like Crystal Palace?
32018-10-01 21:59lakedistrict I read somewhere that towers had platforms and staircases whilst masts only had ladders. However there's a lot of crossover between the two tags so either tag is probably suitable for this transmitter.

I didn’t survey that bit on foot, so I couldn’t check whether it’s a shop or an office. All the other evidence pointed to it being an office/commercial bakery without a shop front. Do you know otherwise?

Sorry, armchair-mapped because I noticed A1508 was wrong number (should be A1058 of course; (M) part debatable). Having looked at the comments on changeset 56451569, feel free to revert it.
32018-04-22 22:02lakedistrict Thanks, I've partially reverted this in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58321493. Another mapper told me elsewhere that sliproads don't need ref numbers so I guess the refs could be moved to destination:ref but that would be a job for another day.
42018-04-23 07:17Paul Berry
♦124
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.

Thanks for the information.

Have you verified the stop exists separately on the southbound side of the road? I can’t spot a bus stop sign there, there’s nowhere sensible for buses to stop, and I’ve never seen a bus stopping on that side of the road. I suspect the buses pull in to the layby on the northbound s...
22018-02-19 14:34lakedistrict I know that the college buses only use the northbound layby for all journeys; I think that the southbound 555 and X6 (and others) went via Lound Road to call at K Village a few years ago, but they might not do anymore, now that K Village is dead.

When I used the 555 bus recently, from Kendal to Lancaster, I don't recall the bus pulling into the northbound layby. The AtcoCode for the southbound bus_stop appears in bus route data for a number of different routes.

According to that wiki page, given what we know (it is used as a stop, and there is no sign present), it should be highway=bus_stop, physically_present=no. No need to add customary_stop=yes because that’s already in the naptan data, right?
52018-02-20 23:14lakedistrict According to someone who goes to Kendal College, the buses won't stop to drop off or pick up here, you have to use the stop at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/486598075

Whilst the stop appears in data on both Traveline (OGL) and Stagecoach (licence unknown) websites; I feel that the physical evidence is suggesting that buses do not stop there. I think it's best if I revert edits in this area

12018-02-18 14:39lakedistrict Hi Greyseal18 and welcome to OSM.

I don't think that renumbering the motorway slip roads and changing them from highway=motorway_link to highway=motorway is entirely correct. The motorway sliproads were tagged A1508 and A167(M) because that's how they're labelled on the road signs...

But motorway_link should be used for sliproads, which is what t...

32018-02-14 14:32lakedistrict OK. addr:place over addr:street is probably preferential (for the LDBP addresses) since "1 Mint Bridge Road" is a different address to "(Unit) 1 Lake District Business Park" and if they are both mapped as "1 Mint Bridge Road" they aren't differentiated.

12016-11-26 22:57lakedistrict Hi Daniel,
I think these were supposed to be mapped as railway=stop and placed on the metro lines. Since you have now correctly put railway stops on the Metro tracks I have copied across the naptan codes onto the stop nodes that you added. It would be useful to add platform numbers to the stop node...

12016-10-02 11:20lakedistrict Hi,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. I notice that you have deleted a number of ways (lines such as roads and paths among other features) from the map. If you are local or have recently visited you will of course know that these roads and paths do still exist, so they shouldn't have been deleted.

12016-08-12 15:20lakedistrict Hi Guy,
Park Terrace and Kensington Terrace no longer match up with the buildings shown on the Bing imagery because they were demolished or partly demolished and have been rebuilt.
The Bing imagery is fairly outdated in the North of England.
Is it possible for you to undo your changes to the bu...

12016-07-27 20:50lakedistrict Hi Guinevere23, is http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27577599 actually called Log Lane? I know that you didn't add that name but just wondered if you had spotted any signs with this name or seen it on a map. :-)

Hi lakedistrict, actually there were some signs with a name for that lane and I have a feeling that it was something else other than Log Lane because I thought it was unusual for it to have a name but, unfortunately, I didn't record what it was ... doh!

12016-07-04 21:20lakedistrict Hi Michael, do you remember or know where the name "Log Lane" came from for http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/27577599 ? I don't remember seeing this name anywhere and OS Street View gives it a different name (Truss Lane). I'll resurvey if I need to. All the best :-)

12016-07-02 22:30lakedistrict I've separated the metro lines from the road. (You have to remove the relations first, then add them back after) I don't think that the metro actually takes the same route as New Bridge St W but actually follows a route under http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/428809408 which I think is a ve...

Ha! Yes, you're right, that was (mostly)me. I had no exact idea of where they were, just that they existed. I added them in the hope they would be amended. Generally I see folks will adjust stuff to help, but see the task of adding stuff as too onerous, so I though I'd get it started.
22016-04-01 15:52lakedistrict Thanks for adding them - saved me (or someone else) a lot of time! :-)

PS Please add a note to the map before doing b...
