12024-12-23 10:04MCDA Pretty sure a lot of these areas are lit, therefore speed limits are reduced to 40mph. There are also rumble ramps coming off the dual carriageway onto the roundabout, but no physical speed limit signs (way:262097519). These sections were purposely not tagged because the actual speed limit is not ...
22024-12-23 10:06MCDA When I was learning to drive, any area that was lit by overhead lights, was assumed to be 40mph unless otherwise stated ie 20mph around schools or 30mph in built up areas

Hi MCDA, thanks for the query. This was part of some large-scale maxspeed updates over the past few months to improve routing & for any other data applications - I've tried my best to minimise errors, but I accept there may be some.

Regarding street lights however, I researched this as m...

Ah yes - there are no signs because it is still national speed limit in all directions - no signage is required, as there is no change. Rumble strips may cause a driver to reduce speed, but "maxspeed" is for the legal limit of the road, not the driveable limit. So on the A4 dual carriagewa...

Hi MCDA. Yes it's been moving surprisingly quickly of late (especially given the speed at which stuff normally happens here!) - the latest update on http://www.wesleyjohnston.com/roads/a4enniskillensouthernbypass.html says that ownership of lands will transfer to DFI in around three weeks.

Judging by the route, the old bridge won't be affected, but the route does appear to overlie a section of the railway bed shortly after crossing the Erne - which is a shame, I'm always a fan of disused railways either reopening or becoming cycling routes 🙂

I'm not doing any mass edits. Feel free to use this scheme if you like. As long as there is no accepted proposal, communication:lte=yes and communication:mobile_phone = lte are equally valid.

I only changed these 3 nodes because the tags there were yet another new, different scheme.
72021-04-04 22:43MCDA I'd argue that as long as there is no accepted proposal the person collecting the data and placing the node should be able to tag it as they see fit without others making automated edits and trampling over their work.

The addition of a hospital here seems most unlikely. I do not recall any road signs pointing to a hospital at the junction by Dunnes Stores. Monaghan Hospital itself is clearly signposted, as can be seen in Mapillary imagery.
22019-12-11 19:36MCDA Definitely NOT a hospital, it is an area used by buses and cars to drop off and some parts are used as a car park.

@KDDA: This was another case. I had no idea of the Townlands and had wrongly corrected "overlaps" - I know that now.
