| 51880258 by fcrump | 1 | 2017-09-11 13:13:56 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, High Weald Landscape Trail is the name of a route, and the individual paths making up the route should not have this name. YThe ways already have a route relation with this name attached. Although these routes are not shown on the standard OSM map, you can see them on waymarkedtrails.orgPlease... |
| 2 | 2017-09-16 10:53:55 UTC | fcrump | Mike, I have looked at this and given it some thought. I initially added names to paths as some were already there and I found it useful to be able to trace the route on OSM. I notice that you have removed a lot of names from long distance trails and in some cases people have re-added them as presum... | |
| 3 | 2017-09-16 11:46:06 UTC | fcrump | Mike, Following further investigation, I accept that ways should not generally be named with the route they are on. It's a shame the standard rendering of OSM does not display the name of the route, and there is no generally available 'hiking' OSM map. | |
| 4 | 2017-09-16 13:30:05 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Frazer, the hiking.waymarkedtrails.org map is the OSM hiking map intended for hiking. It uses the underlying OSM data and shows the hiking and walking routes on it. I'm not sure if there are any other differences - the rendering of most things looks to be extremely similar.Cheers,Mike | |
| 51872110 by will_p | 1 | 2017-09-11 13:55:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Will, I see you have changed tunnel=yes to tunnel=underpass. I can find no mention of tunnel=underpass as an approved value in the wiki, and the wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Subway indicates that tunnel=yes is the correct value. Can you please explain why you think tunnel=underpass... |
| 2 | 2017-09-11 15:05:03 UTC | will_p | I reverted your change because it stripped out information. Just because a tag isn't documented on the wiki, does not mean its use is not allowed, and it certainly does not permit you to randomly swoop down and remove it. OSM mappers thankfully aren't limited to a list of 'approved' tags.Adding ... | |
| 51889816 by Ted Pottage | 1 | 2017-09-11 13:43:51 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Ted, I notice that in adding way 523019758, you have tagged it as a building with a name of Church. To add a church, please use amenity=place_of_worship and religion=christian. If the building is no longer used as a church, the best tagging is to use building=church instead.Regards,Mike |
| 51881014 by TJS | 1 | 2017-09-11 13:39:31 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, why do you think a descriptive name is required? We know it is a windmill from its tagging. Name tags should be proper nouns, such as "Skidby Windmill". If the feature has no name or it is not known, it should be left blank. Please see the "Name is the name only" section at h... |
| 2 | 2017-09-11 14:17:35 UTC | TJS | The 'Name' is required because the Windmill icon is not rendered in all the different formats that OSM maps are presented in, by all means call it Avoncroft Windmill if you want to, although personally I like to keep text as concise as possible, as are the other buildings on this site, i.e. Prefab,... | |
| 51765288 by Chay Farzaneh | 1 | 2017-09-07 11:10:27 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you please review the access=no tag on way 454033061 - I would expect this should be either motor_vehicle=no if cyclists are allowed along or vehicle=no otherwise (i.e. allowing pedestrians).Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-09-07 12:31:31 UTC | Chay Farzaneh | Hi Sorry did this in a rush I've allowed foot and bicycles now. ThanksChay | |
| 51586499 by Ascent | 1 | 2017-08-31 13:06:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, on footway 520047037, access=private and foot=yes are both set, leading to confusion about whether you intended the pedestrian access to be private (in which case it would be better to remove foot=yes) or not (in which case it would be better to remove access=private). Also, adjoining way 520045... |
| 51535192 by wiggly | 1 | 2017-08-30 09:58:58 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, I see you seem to be undecided how to tag several nodes with names like GNB sniper. Please do not tag them with incorrect data just to get them to show on the OSM map. I'm guessing GNB is ground nesting bird - if these are bird hides, then I suggest using leisure=bird_hide. Please also avoid usi... |
| 51544076 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-08-29 19:50:19 UTC | DaveF | Why didn't you add the correct church title? |
| 2 | 2017-08-29 19:55:25 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Dave, I didn't know what the proper name was.Regards,Mike | |
| 51486639 by Ashton Fairfield | 1 | 2017-08-28 12:37:05 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, is way 519115289 actually named Draycott Terrace Back Access the name seems more like a description? Also, maxspeed=>5 looks as if it might be a typo.Regards,Mike |
| 51387341 by ABZ_OSM | 1 | 2017-08-24 20:10:13 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, we already know that the pitches are tennis and football from the sport tag. Please do not add descriptive names like "tennis court" or "football pitch". The name field should only be used to add proper nouns such as "Aberporth Tennis Club".Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-08-24 20:30:39 UTC | ABZ_OSM | Hi Mike,You know that. But this project is not necessarily about what you know.Efforts here are as part of a community empowerment project. Many people who live locally and walk or drive past that park every day, don't even know it's name widely, as it is not really listed much anywhere. So it's... | |
| 51376741 by krd_mapper | 1 | 2017-08-24 17:25:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI I realise you have simply split part of the Black Brook Way footpath to add a bridge, but assume you have some knowledge of the area. This path has foot=public on each segment, which is not a valid value. Are you in a position to correct this?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-08-24 18:34:37 UTC | krd_mapper | Thanks Mike. Yes, I work for Charnwood Borough Council so am familiar with the area. Well spotted on the footpath tags, I'll sort them out when I get a chance. Regards...Kev | |
| 51362866 by John Grubb | 1 | 2017-08-24 17:21:40 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, on ways 77513243 and 77513309 you seem to have added access=no and set motor_vehicle=official. "Official" is not an approved value - I think the correct values should be access not set and motor_vehicle=no. If you set access=no this also denies access to pedestrians and cyclists. If cy... |
| 51384849 by kevjs1982 | 1 | 2017-08-24 17:12:42 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I'm guessing that this change is intended to remove access due to redevelopment of the bus station, with a number of ways having access=no added. However, where there are specific transport modes specified, these override access=no, so for example footways 16535485 and 169581775 which have foot=... |
| 51343006 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-08-23 17:28:13 UTC | sdoerr | Should node 528921324 be leisure=pitch? |
| 2 | 2017-08-23 17:31:46 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Oops, yes. Will correct! Thanks for letting me know.Cheers,Mike | |
| 3 | 2017-08-23 17:43:20 UTC | sdoerr | Glad to be of service! However, I think you have now accidentally overwritten 'sport' with 'fix typo', presumably intended as a changeset comment.Steve | |
| 4 | 2017-08-23 18:20:20 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Doh! Give me a brain. Hopefully correct now. | |
| 51289958 by digitalbyron | 1 | 2017-08-22 13:32:34 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, welcome to Open Street Map. Just a small point - when adding features you need to specify the details of the feature rather than setting a name. For a post box, set amenity=post_box (and do not name it as Post Box, only name if it has a proper name). I have changed this one.Happy mapping,M... |
| 51286306 by markbeverley | 1 | 2017-08-22 13:17:36 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, I see you have added access=no to footway 223062606, which also has foot=permissive. If you intended this to mean that there should be no pedestrian access, then you need to remove foot=permissive which overrides access=no. If you intended this to mean that there is no other access than foot, th... |
| 51149076 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-08-17 10:23:09 UTC | chillly | The name on the board above the shop front is 'Chemist'. I surveyed it and it is still so.Please don't just armchair this stuff - check first!I will revert your change. |
| 2 | 2017-08-17 10:36:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | The name is not Chemist, it is P. Rowbotham Dispensing Chemist according to http://www.nhs.uk/Services/pharmacies/Overview/DefaultView.aspx?id=5007. | |
| 3 | 2017-08-17 11:07:24 UTC | chillly | The name on the shop says 'Chemist'. I know that because I have been there. You cannot use copyright sources to update the name. I will revert your change and ask the DWG to intervene if you use copyright sources in OSM again. | |
| 4 | 2017-08-17 11:09:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | You will find his name is also on the front of the shop. | |
| 5 | 2017-08-17 11:10:27 UTC | chillly | Which is why I added the name as the operator. | |
| 6 | 2017-08-17 11:19:24 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I suggest in the spirit of compromise the name be set to either P Rowbotham Chemist. or just P Rowbotham. The name of the business is clearly not Chemist. | |
| 7 | 2017-08-17 11:27:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I also note that the NHS Choices data is made available under the Open Government Licence - see http://www.nhs.uk/aboutNHSChoices/aboutnhschoices/how-we-perform/Pages/datasets.aspx. | |
| 8 | 2017-08-17 11:33:14 UTC | chillly | Wow, just how far are you going with this?Read the link again. DOWNLOADED files are OGL, the web page you directed me to is copyright. I doubt anyone in the NHS would care, but you were prepared to use a copyright source before you then checked to try to climb out of the hole you just dug. J... | |
| 51116574 by jim197 | 1 | 2017-08-15 14:14:15 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, on way 515616161 you have set access=residents. Please use access=private for roads that can only be accessed by residents. "private" will be interpreted by routing software as it is a standard value, whereas "residents" will be ignored as it is non-standard. You could add a ... |
| 2 | 2017-08-15 14:19:45 UTC | jim197 | Fair enough. I only used it because it was an option offered by iD. I will switch to 'private'.Jim | |
| 3 | 2017-08-15 15:01:21 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Interesting, I hadn't realised it was an option in iD (I can't get on with it). I see there was a proposal to add access=resident (not access=residents) back in 2011, but it was never adopted.Mike | |
| 4 | 2017-08-15 15:12:01 UTC | jim197 | It turns out iD isn't even consistent with itself. I now notice that its pull-down menu of access tag values in the 'All tags' section includes 'residents', but its pull-down menu of access tag values in the 'All fields' section doesn't! Sadly I was going by the former, silly me.Jim | |
| 51118678 by Russ McD | 1 | 2017-08-15 14:10:55 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Russ, in this change you seem to have added access=designated to way 324329569. This is an invalid value for access= and should only be used for specific transport modes such as foot=designated for a public footpath. As the road leads to a caravan site, I would expect that it should be access=pri... |
| 2 | 2017-08-15 21:29:39 UTC | Russ McD | Thanks Mike,Yes, my mistake - the Potlatch hint was a bit confusing and after reading the Wiki, have changed it to Private as you suggest.Rgds. | |
| 51075572 by Setithing | 1 | 2017-08-14 11:15:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, way 515159066 added in this change has rather confusing access tags. It is a footway, so by default the only access it has is for pedestrians. Tag access=no has been set, which changes pedestrian access to no and has no other effect. It also has foot=designated which enables pedestrian access ag... |
| 2 | 2017-08-14 18:03:41 UTC | Setithing | Hello,Sorry for that. I have amended the tags and added the fix me as you suggested. There is more mapping of foot paths to be done which is why it stops. I will avoid not joining footpaths in the future.Thank you for letting me know.Tom | |
| 51027821 by PeterPan99 | 1 | 2017-08-13 22:04:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, please do not name highways with names such as Bridge 85A. This is incorrect. Firstly 85A is not a name, it is a reference. Secondly, the reference for a bridge goes in the bridge:ref field and the bridge name goes in bridge:name so that the road name can be correctly shown in the name field.\... |
| 2 | 2017-08-14 09:58:40 UTC | PeterPan99 | Hi Mike,If I delete the names (in the case of footbridges) and revert to the road names (for roads), how do I make the Bridge Ref display on the standard view of the map, please?I only started adding / changing the names to get them to display and to give consistency after I saw some with no nam... | |
| 3 | 2017-08-14 10:38:51 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Peter, I believe you are correct that bridge:ref is not rendered on the standard OSM map (the bridges in question had bridge_ref which was an older convention). However, incorrect data should not be set simply to get the standard map to display something in a particular way. You may be interested... | |
| 51059042 by Pink Duck | 1 | 2017-08-13 21:48:30 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you please review your change of way 59136283 which has removed motor_vehicle=no and replaced it with access=no. This change denies pedestrian access and bicycle access and I believe there are no such restrictions on this road.Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-08-14 06:43:35 UTC | Pink Duck | Good spot, seems I tagged that erroneously thinking it was only bus/taxis/cycle but the restrictive sign is indeed just for motor vehicles. | |
| 50943658 by msevilla00 | 1 | 2017-08-08 13:36:04 UTC | msevilla00 | I edited using this overpass query:http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/qSrand following this OSM Wiki advice:https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names#Walesand as you could see in Streets:https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/BVAjyV5Yt6hediIk7Lqv4w |
| 2 | 2017-08-09 16:41:50 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, it is incorrect to a set the name field in the format "Welsh Name/English Name". If a name has two language variants, use name:cy for the Welsh and name:en for the English, and choose one of the two names for the name field, preferably the one which is the more commonly used. Many of t... | |
| 3 | 2017-08-09 21:57:05 UTC | msevilla00 | I disagree with you.If you please read the wiki you will read how to tag in multilingual situations.First, "name" tag could be use as you can see in street sings [1]. You can check on Mapillary how are labelled [2][3]Second, "Welsh name / English name" label for "... | |
| 4 | 2017-08-09 22:45:36 UTC | msevilla00 | I traslated this topic to the mailining list for General discussion for users in Great Britain:https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2017-August/020465.htmlPlease, consider to joint the conversation there to argue within the British community.Cheers | |
| 5 | 2017-08-09 22:57:20 UTC | alejandroscf | Hi! I agree with Miguel, if the official name is both Welsh and English it's OK to set the name to "Welsh Name/English Name" and also tag it with the correct localized tags.Best regards,Alejandroscf | |
| 6 | 2017-08-10 06:22:57 UTC | escada | I cannot comment on the specific situation in Wales, but in Brussels, Belgium we have a similar situation. All streets have a Dutch and a French name. Neither one is more important than the other. We use name:fr - name:nl in the name field. Although we accept to opposite order as well.We even have... | |
| 7 | 2017-08-10 11:48:13 UTC | trigpoint | Whilst in the past I have generally used the first name on the sign (usually name:cy) as name I am coming around to this way of thinking so do not disagree with the changes made by Miguel.The norm in Wales is to have both names on the sign, much like in Brussels, even in Maelor Saesneg / English... | |
| 8 | 2017-08-10 16:54:21 UTC | RobJN | Whilst we are having this conversation, can we agree the format. I see 3 choices:"Morfa Mawr / Queen's Road""Morfa Mawr - Queen's Road""Morfa Mawr;Queen's Road"The Belgium community uses the second, the use of ";" in the third is well established. ... | |
| 9 | 2017-08-10 17:08:54 UTC | trigpoint | " / " is used throughout Wales in these cases and therefore has usage and momentum.It is the one I would favour as it is clearly a separator. A hyphen could be easily confused. | |
| 10 | 2017-08-10 19:38:05 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Quoting from the Wales tagging guidelines, at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names "As such, I reckon that you should set the name tag to the Welsh name in areas where the Welsh language has a high concentration of native speakers, and use name:en for the English name in such ... | |
| 11 | 2017-08-14 20:36:09 UTC | msevilla00 | Hello again,If you came now to this discussion you may notice something happens in the wiki. A British user changed it after the discussion in the talk-gb mailing list:https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2017-August/020493.htmlI disagree with the change and I consider it arbi... | |
| 50462834 by JamesKingdom | 1 | 2017-08-09 21:52:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi James, can you check the post office you added (node 4985231337) in this changeset? I believe the one in High Street closed in 2016 - perhaps it is a sorting office?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-08-09 22:12:49 UTC | JamesKingdom | Hi Mike,I think it too may have closed, but there must have been something there for me to add it from my visit.I plan to revisit hopefully in the next few days, and I will check then.Thanks,James | |
| 50941036 by the1simon | 1 | 2017-08-09 16:50:17 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, footway 6233340 has had access=no added in this change. However, as the way has foot=yes, access=no has no effect. I suggest either removing foot=yes or removing access=no and setting foot=no if the footway is closed.Regards,Mike |
| 50888347 by SomeoneElse | 1 | 2017-08-07 13:06:58 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is way 342863745 really named Bus Link? If this is not a proper name, please remove it. If it is, I suggest adding a note to say it really is the name.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-08-07 13:28:59 UTC | SomeoneElse | Yes, it really is called that. | |
| 50804704 by smb1001 | 1 | 2017-08-04 14:14:47 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi in ways 512562914, 512562912 and 512562910 you have specified access=designated. This is not a valid value. You should only put designated for individual transport modes, e.g. for a public footpath you need to put foot=designated (and ideally designation=public_footpath as well).Regards,Mik... |
| 50427634 by Mauls | 1 | 2017-08-03 15:12:38 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, in this changeset you appear to have named way 63944394 as "Recreation Ground", which seems more like a description of where it leads. Is this road really named that? If so, I suggest adding a note to say it is really the name, otherwise, please delete the name.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-08-03 15:19:15 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Also way 63944395 has been named Rifle Range - I suggest Shrivenham Smallbore Rifle Club, if that is what it is (I don't know where it is located) and add sport=shooting. | |
| 50777984 by DaveF | 1 | 2017-08-03 11:40:01 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Dave, I see that on way 34060947 (public footpath) you have set access=no. Did you intend this to say that the footpath is closed? If so, you need to remove foot=yes, which overrides access=no, and preferably add a note to say why it is closed and for how long. If not, please remove access=no as ... |
| 50746415 by hudster | 1 | 2017-08-02 11:59:54 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi on way 249832140, you seem to have tagged the access in a rather unusual way, setting access=bus, access_1=taxi , and access_2=cycle, with motor_vehicle=yes. If you intended to say that this is open to bus, taxi, cycles (and pedestrians), but not other traffic, you need to remove all three access... |
| 50619030 by Neil Bauers | 1 | 2017-07-29 11:30:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Neil, Village Hall Parking and Village Hall Access do not sound like proper names to me, more like descriptions. I suggest removing the names and adding an area of parking to show where the parking takes place.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-30 21:24:57 UTC | Neil Bauers | I have done as you suggested. Thanks for the hint. | |
| 50598533 by arthursan | 1 | 2017-07-27 16:02:02 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, newly created footways 510547164, 510545824, 510545789 and 510544174 all have access=no and foot=yes. Whilst this combination is not invalid, it does lead to confusion. As the access=no is overridden by foot=yes for pedestrians, and no other transport method is by default allowed for a footway, ... |
| 50571525 by All Good Things | 1 | 2017-07-27 15:48:41 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, "Network Rail Access Track" on way 510311871 sounds more like a description than a name. Can you please review and remove the name tag if this is not the actual name of the track?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-28 23:28:23 UTC | All Good Things | Your quite right, I've removed the name | |
| 50599014 by Gabriel Reynolds | 1 | 2017-07-27 15:45:55 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, I believe there are no restrictions on cyclists and pedestrians using this bus lane, so motor_vehicle=no rather than access=no was the correct tagging. Can you please review and revert if you agree?Thanks,Mike |
| 50454133 by krd_mapper | 1 | 2017-07-24 16:04:08 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, on new way 509205424, you have specified foot=public. This is not a valid value. Did you intend foot=designated or foot=yes?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-26 19:55:11 UTC | krd_mapper | Hi Mike. I think 509205424 was created when I split an existing way. It appears that the ways along this cycle-way were created about 10 years ago and they all seem to have the same tag foot=public. Was this a valid value at the time of capture? Cheers...Kev | |
| 3 | 2017-07-27 06:18:30 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, Kev, I've only been a mapper for about 5 years, so am not sure about whether it used to be a valid value.Regards,Mike | |
| 4 | 2017-07-27 06:28:00 UTC | krd_mapper | I'll look at other similar ways in the area and make the corrections along this route.Cheers...Kev | |
| 50532815 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-07-24 20:29:10 UTC | paulbiv | The wiki has access=no as a valid tag. Removing access=no needs survey evidence that access is permitted (It's BAe land). |
| 2 | 2017-07-24 21:21:48 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, the other two tags removed were invalid and are the reason I edited the way. The existing foot=yes tag already says that pedestrian access is allowed. As a footway does not allow any other access by default, the access=no is not changing the access for any other transport mode, and is overridden... | |
| 3 | 2017-07-24 21:28:03 UTC | paulbiv | I'll take a look next time I'm over that way. Edge of defence related land could easily have a footpath inside the fence, and users could easily tag that as foot=yes without realising that implies public access. | |
| 4 | 2017-07-24 21:31:03 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Excellent, we'll know for certain then. Thanks. | |
| 50510653 by nickjohnston | 1 | 2017-07-24 15:59:09 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI I see you have added access=private to way 442664037, but this also has foot=yes and as it is a footway, the access tag is overridden by the foot tag for pedestrians and hence has no effect other than to cause confusion. If you intended all access to be private, please remove the foot=yes tag or ... |
| 2 | 2017-07-24 18:23:05 UTC | nickjohnston | Hi. The finer points of this type of tagging are still not that clear to me so thanks for your explanation. The path in question is private property belonging to Gloucestershire-Warwickshire Railway, so I've removed foot=yes. | |
| 50464904 by kevjs1982 | 1 | 2017-07-24 15:54:07 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I see you have added access=no to ways 16533193 and 16533219. These are footways and have foot=permissive on them, so access=no has no effect other than to cause confusion as to what was intended. If you intended there to be no pedestrian access, please remove foot=permissive, otherwise, please ... |

| 44492399 by user_5121 | 1 | 2017-07-19 13:43:17 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, in this changeset, ways 84367714 and 84367782 have had their pedestrian access removed. However, they appear to have regional walking route Lea Valley Walk running along them. Can you please review?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-19 16:53:24 UTC | user_5121 | I'm sorry about breaking the relation for the route, I hadn't noticed that.What I did notice when I walked here was that the public footpath does not go across that bridge as I had drawn it originally. Instead the public footpath runs along the new way 460344329 that I created (the signpost on ... | |
| 3 | 2017-07-20 16:16:49 UTC | Mike Baggaley | H, thanks for the info. I have moved the Lea Valley Walk to go along the public footpath.Cheers,Mike | |
| 50409811 by Buschebabau | 1 | 2017-07-20 12:47:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, I see that on way 177305478 (steps up to lighthouse) you have added access=designated. This is not a valid value for access - did you intend foot=designated (i.e. a public footpath)? I also note that the adjoining paths have motor_vehicle=designated (not added by you) which seems an unlikely val... |
| 2 | 2017-07-20 15:57:35 UTC | Buschebabau | Hi Mike,I have now changed motor_vehicle=designated to motor_vehicle=no and removed access=designated, because i don't know whether the steps up to the lighthouse are accessible to the public. Thanks for informing me!Buschebabau | |
| 50383045 by Neil Bauers | 1 | 2017-07-20 12:40:45 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, I see that on way 88266262 (track), you have changed foot from designated to no. However, the way has designation=public_footpath. Can you please either remove designation (if the way is not a public footpath) or revert foot to designated (it is is a public footpath).Thanks,Mike |
| 38194942 by RichBoyce | 1 | 2017-07-19 13:17:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I know it is some time ago, when you added bicycle access to way 32455409, but are pedestrians also allowed on it (it is unusual for access to be granted to cycles but not pedestrians)?Can you review?Thanks,Mike |
| 48666498 by Robert Whittaker | 1 | 2017-05-18 13:43:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, way 493393332 added in this change has highway=no, which doesn't seem to be correct. Can you take a look at it?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-05-18 16:54:02 UTC | Robert Whittaker | I'm not sure exactly what you think is wrong here? Given the previously mapped path follows the desire line across the field, with some evidence of use from Bing imagery, I assume that the path on the ground indeed follows that route.But this route does not follow the legal definitive line of th... | |
| 3 | 2017-07-17 19:57:16 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Robert, there is no other way in the UK with tag highway=no, so I suggest just removing the highway tag. I have moved the Icknield Way route from this way to the actually walked path, as walking routes need to be able to be walked.Personally I'm not sure that there is much value in recording... | |
| 4 | 2017-09-19 13:26:44 UTC | Robert Whittaker | There are actually quite a few other ways tagged with highway=no in the UK: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/highway=noIf the route available on the ground is significantly different (to the point where it would be clearly incorrect to gat either one as the other), then I think both shou... | |
| 50269033 by abc26324 | 1 | 2017-07-17 15:14:03 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Please note the The Ridgeway is the name of the long distance route, and individual paths segments should not have this name.Regards,Mike |
| 48559724 by Valleys Cycling | 1 | 2017-07-16 09:57:20 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I see you have named way 487976636 as Private Right of Way - this does not look like a name to me. It can't be both private and a right of way anyway, as far as I know. Can you please review?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-24 21:14:20 UTC | Valleys Cycling | Thanks Mike, you are of course correct. It is a public right of way. Silly mistake. I will change and review if if I have made similar mistakes elsewhere. Thanks for feedback. | |
| 47013747 by Glucosamine | 1 | 2017-07-16 07:50:19 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, on way 481595220 you have set foot=definitive and horse=definitive. These are not standard values - did you intend designated rather than definitive (i.e. is this a public bridleway)?Cheers,Mike |
| 50212838 by abc26324 | 1 | 2017-07-13 16:57:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, to add vehicular seasonal access, you need to use a combination of motor_vehicle=yes/no and motor_vehicle:conditional=yes/no @ (condition) - you can find details at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hoursCheers,... |
| 50204049 by DaveF | 1 | 2017-07-13 16:47:47 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Dave, on way 56463013, you have added foot=yes to a way that has access=private and highway=footway. This can lead to confusion over whether access for walking is intended to be private or public. As this is appears to be a path to a school and terminates in a gate, it might be best to remove acc... |
| 2 | 2017-07-13 21:11:02 UTC | DaveF | Agreed - Done. | |
| 50102946 by robw | 1 | 2017-07-13 15:49:55 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is way 505783393 actually named (Old) Clay Lane, or is this descriptive? If the latter, then please use either name=Clay Lane if it is still called that, or old_name=Clay Lane if it is no longer the name.Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-13 16:34:10 UTC | robw | Source docs at http://www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/content.asp?id=28112&nav=838&parent_directory_id=646 are unclear. Will removed the (Old) for now and add a note. | |
| 50232258 by Steve Mapping | 1 | 2017-07-13 11:49:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi please note that paths should not be named with the name of a route such as Cotswold Way - this is the name of a route, rather than the name of the individual paths making up the route. There is already a relation for the Cotswold Way route and this has many paths as members. Walking, cycling rou... |
| 49995393 by Martin Wynne | 1 | 2017-07-04 13:40:48 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, on ways 504628768 and 504628767 which are tagged as highway=footway (i.e. only pedestrian access is expected to be allowed), you have included access=private and foot=yes giving rise to confusion as to whether you meant the foot access to be private or allowed. It should not be necessary to set ... |
| 2 | 2017-07-04 14:24:36 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,Thanks for your message. This is Forestry Commision land, which means that under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 it is "Access Land" with the right to roam on foot anywhere except within 20 metres of a dwelling (unless on a public right of way). The distinction betwe... | |
| 3 | 2017-07-04 14:55:34 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Martin, I wasn't questioning whether bikes have access, I was asking about the foot access because the combination of access=private and foot=yes on a footway gives rise to confusion as to whether the foot access is allowed or private (because although the foot tag overrides the access one, not a... | |
| 4 | 2017-07-04 15:24:59 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,You have rather lost me. The land is private, owned by the Forestry Commission. There is no public right of way on these footpaths. There are on Access Land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. That means the landowner can under certain circumstances temporarily close the ar... | |
| 5 | 2017-07-04 15:48:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Sorry to have confused you. I'm not planning to walk them (at least at present) - I build my own Garmin GB map from OSM data, and my build process flagged up a warning on these ways about conflicting access tags. If you put access=private on a footway, that means the path cannot be used by the gener... | |
| 6 | 2017-07-04 16:36:33 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,In the iD editor, when you set some things, other things change automatically. I don't recall setting access=private or highway=footway. I selected "Foot Path" from the menu, and set foot=yes (the need to do that for a foot path is not clear to me).Whatever, it is not showing a... | |
| 7 | 2017-07-04 16:49:07 UTC | Martin Wynne | p.s. Mike,According to the Wiki, yes="The public has an official, legally-enshrined right of access; i.e., it's a right of way."These paths are not public rights of way. The public have a right of access to the land they cross, subject to certain conditions. But the actual route or exi... | |
| 50010699 by RichardBeilby | 1 | 2017-07-04 13:27:58 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Richard, the change to King Street has resulted in pedestrian access being disallowed. I assume this should not be the case. I suggest removing the access=no value.Regards,Mike |
| 49782617 by confusedbuffalo | 1 | 2017-07-02 14:57:54 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, this change to Leazes Bowl appears to have replaced the roundabout we can see on the aerial imagery view with a new junction. The tag junction=roundabout is still in existence on some of the ways, but it no longer looks like a roundabout. Should these tags be removed?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-02 15:38:50 UTC | confusedbuffalo | I was unsure whether to leave them or not. The sign for the junction as you go west on the A690 towards it still shows it as a roundabout (it seems to be the same sign that was there before the junction update), and it does behave somewhat like a roundabout with traffic lights | |
| 3 | 2017-07-02 22:58:28 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Thanks, I have had a look at the plans, and I it looks like it is still a roundabout, however, I have removed the roundabout tag from the western second loop so that there is now just a single loop tagged as a roundabout, and rounded the corners slightly. | |
| 49732347 by zorque | 1 | 2017-07-02 16:45:31 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, on way 502498679 which has highway=footway, you have set access=private and foot=designated. This combination causes confusion, as the only access on a footway by default is foot, making it unclear whether foot traffic is intended to be private or not. If the footway can be used by private indiv... |
| 2 | 2017-07-02 22:21:13 UTC | zorque | Hi, the tagging is actually carried forward from the footway at the western end which I extended. From the top of my head I can't remember any restrictions. It looked more like a usual public footpath. No vehicle traffic possible anyways,Marc | |
| 3 | 2017-07-02 22:28:27 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Thanks, I have removed access=private for the length of the path. Further on it is tagged as a track, for which access=private is more likely to be correct, so I have left it in place on that section.Mike | |
| 49835232 by cjkiller | 1 | 2017-07-02 16:50:37 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, in way 503361824, you have specified access=no, foot=designated on a way with highway=footway. It is unclear from this whether the way was intended to have pedestrian access or not, as although the foot tag overrides the access tag for pedestrians, many mappers do not realise this and just add ... |
| 49896014 by lakedistrict | 1 | 2017-07-02 16:37:55 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, you seem to have added access=no to Gooseholme Bridge, with a note that it was closed when surveyed. However, as the way has foot=yes, the access=no has no effect on pedestrians, which is the only form of transport normally enabled for a footway. I suggest removing the foot tag if this bridge is... |
| 2 | 2017-07-04 11:05:34 UTC | lakedistrict | Hi Mike, Thanks for this advice, I've now removed the foot=yes tag since it isn't required on highway=footway and currently the bridge is closed to all. | |
| 49781788 by Platinum | 1 | 2017-07-02 11:57:10 UTC | Mike Baggaley | H Platinum, in this change you seem to have named a number of ways as Thames Path. This name is the name of the route running along the path, not the name of the individual paths, and the Thames Path route is already defined. OpenStreetMap does not display route names, but you can find the Thames Pa... |
| 49697428 by Martin Wynne | 1 | 2017-07-02 11:51:33 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Martin, in this and a preceding change you appear to have set a number of ways with ref A4420. If a road has an A ref, it needs to be set to highway=primary or trunk. Can you please review and update as appropriate?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-07-02 13:15:19 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,As I understand it, that applies to 3-figure A roads, not necessarily 4-figure roads?This is a newly constructed road through a new housing development still under construction (on the site of a former sugar factory). I was surprised to see it given an A number - having driven along it I... | |
| 49392264 by peregrination | 1 | 2017-06-20 23:46:19 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, following this change, way 67384694 has highway=footway, access=private and foot=yes. As the default access for a footway is to only allow pedestrian access, it is unclear whether this combination is intended to mean foot=private or foot=yes. If the former, can you please remove the access tag. ... |
| 2 | 2017-06-21 10:02:51 UTC | peregrination | Thanks Mike, these footways aren't private (I cycled on them 2 weeks ago), I've just removed the private access tags and merged them with the other footways in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/49715940You could add access=yes if you wish, not sure if it's needed. | |
| 3 | 2017-06-21 12:56:58 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Thanks. Adding access=yes would actually imply that all other transport modes can also use the path, so not a good idea.Regards,Mike | |
| 49633855 by davidearl | 1 | 2017-06-20 23:18:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, can you please clarify why the name Haul Road is enclosed in brackets - roads are not normally named like this?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-06-21 12:35:33 UTC | davidearl | Yes, perhaps not the best idea. I've changed it to "haul road", lower case. It's a temporary road for construction traffic, and this tends to be what it is referred to as, though it isn't an official name. I think it's better to have something here than nothing, which would be the alternat... | |
| 3 | 2017-06-21 12:53:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, if this is a local name to refer to the road, then I suggest that the best approach would be to put loc_name=Haul Road and leave the name field blank. This clearly identifies it as a local name. Only proper nouns should be used as names, and they use upper case for first letters (in the UK). | |
| 4 | 2017-06-21 13:04:36 UTC | davidearl | Well if it makes you feel better, feel free to change it. Personally I think that's unnecessarily pedantic. In any case, the road will be gone within a year (all being well). | |
| 49388021 by GeoffJones | 1 | 2017-06-20 23:38:24 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you please review the change you have made to way 34603346 which appears to be illogical. The change has added access=no to a footpath (the only access allowed on a footpath by default is foot) and changed foot=designated to foot=yes. The way also has designation=public_footpath, so the prev... |
| 49534771 by Harry Wood | 1 | 2017-06-20 23:24:16 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I note that changing to access=no has disallowed pedestrian access, but the Trans Penning Trail appears to run along it. Can you please review?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-06-27 21:13:39 UTC | Harry Wood | Good point. Well spotted. So I've added foot=yes to those road sections to fix this. The other way to fix would be to weave the relation along the footways which are there in places... but only in places. As usual, representing pedestrian rout-ability is bit tricky. But yes, certainly this relation ... | |
| 3 | 2017-06-29 22:17:20 UTC | SK53 | From memory I think it's relatively easy to roam around Stockport Bus Station. I'm afraid I probably dont have any photos. Perhaps you should visit & then you can try the delights of the Crown just across the Mersey. | |
| 4 | 2017-06-30 08:06:36 UTC | Harry Wood | Yeah I think all of those footpaths should capture that pretty well. Here we're just talking about this section: http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=mapzen_foot&route=53.40921%2C-2.16324%3B53.40958%2C-2.16199#map=19/53.40940/-2.16257 Now foot routable. But somebody might improve it by... | |

There are gents & ladies loos under the flyover . Also there's a ticket/info office somewhere in the same area. Pavements ... | |
| 49567413 by alexc648 | 1 | 2017-06-20 23:09:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I see you have set the name of way 124123799 to D30919 in this changeset. Did you intend it to be the ref?Cheers,Mike |

| 49573328 by Ottermatter | 1 | 2017-06-20 20:26:16 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, is this road really named Gate 1 Access Road, or is this a description (in which case it should not go in the name field)? It seems more likely that the gate should be named Gate 1.Regards,Mike |
| 49504401 by harg | 1 | 2017-06-20 20:07:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I see you have set access=no to way 500207364 due to a temporary closure, but have left bicycle=yes. This would seem to be incorrect as it denies pedestrian access but allows cycling. Can you please review? Is the closure expected to last for an extended period?Cheers,Mike |

| 49247510 by saintam1 | 1 | 2017-06-07 13:23:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, on way 22414700, you have added bicycle=mtb. This is not a valid value for bicycle, as it is intended to show the legal status of whether you are allowed to cycle, not what type of bicycle you need. I suggest changing to bicycle=yes and adding mtb:scale= if you want to specify that it is only re... |
| 2 | 2017-06-07 13:38:10 UTC | saintam1 | Hi Mike,The path is not suitable for the unsuspecting commuter, because it has regular deep grooves in it (for rain water channeling I think?), which is why I tagged it that way -- it's not for cycling unless you're into it as a sport.I think I'll just remove the tag. I don't know what the l... | |

| 49270867 by urViator | 1 | 2017-06-07 12:51:25 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, you have changed way 27028316 (the end of Level Street) from secondary to tertiary, but it has a ref of B4179. Can you please either remove the ref if this part of Level Street is not part of the B4179 or revert the highway to secondary if it is part of the B4179?Thanks,Mike |

This means pedestrians are not allowed, but the way also has bicycle=yes, so the bridge allows bicycles but nothing else. If the bridge allows pedestrians and cycles, then access=no should be removed, this will allow pedestrians (implicitl... |
| 49168224 by ESL1A2011 | 1 | 2017-06-04 22:09:54 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I see you've changed the access from private to commercial on this way. However, commercial is not a standard access value. Can you please change it to a valid value as found on page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access ?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-06-06 12:28:21 UTC | ESL1A2011 | Ok, thanks. I've changed it to customers. | |

This now has name byway, which is unlikely to be the real name (did you intend designation=byway_open_to_all_traffic?) and it also has access=designated which is an invalid value (it is only allowed for other access types).Cheers,... |
| 2 | 2017-06-10 09:13:09 UTC | Dartymoor | Hi Mike,Nice to speak to you. You're correct, it's not the real name of the lane, which AFAIK is unknown. (One could be facetious and claim it, since there is a signpost at the northern end at least which has Byway on it!)My thoughts on this is that it's better to make it clear that this... | |
| 48864442 by kevjs1982 | 1 | 2017-06-04 20:07:35 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, on way 495029191, did you intend oneway=yes or oneway=no (oneway=service is not a standard value)?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-06-05 15:38:16 UTC | kevjs1982 | Whoops, that was supposed to be oneway=yes. Fixed. | |
| 49008806 by KeepItSimpleJim | 1 | 2017-06-04 19:03:08 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, in this change set you appear to have named several highways as A329 (M).

| 2 | 2017-06-04 17:23:09 UTC | NorthBeric | Not sure how I managed that, that was an accident. Thanks for the spot. Eric | |
| 48456233 by zeusfaber | 1 | 2017-05-12 22:51:58 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, there are a dozen or so ways that you have put foot=dedicated on. This is not a standard value. Did you intend foot=designated? Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-05-12 23:05:12 UTC | zeusfaber | Mike,Good spot there. I was having a go at using a phone app to edit while still out in the field that day, so was relying on memory for tags I normally get from JOSM's standard menus. Will fix.A. | |

| 48525006 by albjorgui | 1 | 2017-05-12 22:33:54 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI way http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/153213843 is tagged with a designation of public_bridleway, but you have added no to foot, bicycle and horse. Is this not a bridleway, or is there some reason for there to be no access to it?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-05-12 22:44:14 UTC | albjorgui | Hi. Yes I changed it because last weekend i went on a bike ride and tried to use the road to reach the path that in theory connects at the end of the road. However clear signs that it was a private road were found on the gate and along the service road and the owner of the property told me it was pr... | |
| 48455946 by mapguy99 | 1 | 2017-05-12 22:19:30 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, A68 cannot be the name of way 66151603 - it is the ref. Can you please take another look at it and change as appropriate?Thanks,Mike |
| 48487559 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-05-08 07:55:25 UTC | OffTheChart | The roads inside the gates are known by the Gate Numbers, so it wasn't incorrect as it was. If this doesn't render on the map I will revert your changes. Will you ***PLEASE*** consider adding new detail rather than meddling with existing features? |
| 2 | 2017-05-08 09:14:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi if the roads inside are known by the gate numbers then I stand corrected. It would be useful if you added a note to say that this is the case as this is extremely unusual. However, roads should only be named with the name tag if that name is one which would be used outside the local area (i.e. wo... | |

| 48306976 by HenryWolny | 1 | 2017-05-07 23:06:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, Henry, I notice you have set access=no to this street which precludes pedestrian access. Did you intend motor_vehicle=no, which would allow pedestrians (the way has bicycle=yes)?Regards,Mike |
| 48419701 by ALY2010 | 1 | 2017-05-06 16:16:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap. If I can just make a small point, please only add proper nouns into the name field, avoiding values such as Fire Station and Post Office. If you know the full name (e.g. Normacot Road Post Office) then please add it, otherwise just leave the name field blank.Happy m... |

Just a small point, please only set the name of an item to a proper noun that you would expect to find in an index of items. In this case, I would not expect to see "access to retail" in an index of highway names, so I have removed the name from the thre... |
| 48364995 by Tandava | 1 | 2017-05-04 17:21:43 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, can you clarify what type of public right of way this is, and move its detail from the name to the designation tag e.g. designation=public_footpath (as "public right of way" is not a name)?Thanks,Mike |
| 48364389 by Tandava | 1 | 2017-05-04 17:18:21 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi for footway 491117955, you have specified access=no, foot=yes. As all access except foot is by default no for a footway, the access=no does nothing other than cause confusion about whether you intended something different. Can you remove access=no, or did you intend something different?Cheers... |
| 48372943 by CitymapperHQ | 1 | 2017-05-04 17:13:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, did you intend this footway to have private access for pedestrians? If so, you either need to remove foot=yes or (preferably) remove access=private and set foot=private. As it stands, the access you have specified says private access for everything except foot, with public access for pedestrians... |
| 47478037 by bttyA | 1 | 2017-04-06 10:06:43 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is foot allowed as well? Perhaps access=no could be removed?Cheers, Mike |
| 2 | 2017-04-06 16:53:56 UTC | trigpoint | As it is designated as a public_bridleway foot is very defiintely allowed, as are horses and bikes. The bicycle=yes tag is therefore pointless and adds tag clutter. | |
| 3 | 2017-05-03 10:13:56 UTC | jogger333 | Dear Mike, Looking at the wiki, one should indeed make the usage clear with appropriate access tagging:"Also taginfo shows a significant number of uses of:designation=permissive_footpathdesignation=permissive_bridlewayThese tags should be used in combination with an appropriate highwa... | |
| 4 | 2017-05-03 10:45:54 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Jogger333 , No I think the tagging was was incorrect (the original done by Russ McD). The update by bttyA was what brought it to light. The designation=public_bridleway would set the default access of foot, bicycle and horse=yes, however, access=no would override this and set them all to no. This... | |

I was looking for a reference of your statement "The designation=public_bridleway would set the default access of foot, bicycle and horse=yes" but I couldn't find it in the wiki, I really would like to implement it correctly in our routing, Can you giv... | |
| 6 | 2017-05-03 19:05:47 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Unfortunately, I can't find a reference any more - the pages on access and UK mapping guidelines appear to have been changed towards the end of last year with the meaning of designated being changed. Bizarrely, the access=designated page now says the value is deprecated without saying what replaces ... | |
| 7 | 2017-05-04 07:42:55 UTC | jogger333 | Oh yes, the information is really vague. This will make it a bit difficult to conclude routing rules from it that are correct worldwide, not only in UK.Let's see if that is possible and if there are any conflicts popping up.Thanks for your summary, this helped me a lot to understand the issue he... | |
| 48326260 by SBaker15 | 1 | 2017-05-03 11:20:27 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, in the footpaths here you have specified access=private with foot=yes. This means that all access except foot is private but access to pedestrians is available to the public. You either need just access=private or just foot=private if you want to say that there is no access to the public which i... |
| 2 | 2017-05-03 16:47:21 UTC | SBaker15 | Hi Mike,Thanks - that was indeed what I meant. This should be corrected now and I make sure I do not make the same mistake in the future! | |
| 48345406 by PeterP | 1 | 2017-05-03 11:12:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Peter, can you take a look at relation 7211752 - the values name=C00X and ref="ACW Closure 2017-05 to 2017-11" don't look to be correct. Should C00X be the ref?Cheers,Mike |
| 48337343 by alterain | 1 | 2017-05-02 19:07:04 UTC | trigpoint | Hi, what is your reason and source for this change? Have you been there?The section you have tagged as a bridge is very definitely a causeway, and it is called simply Swarkestone Causeway.I will see what other local mappers view is, but mine is that this should be reverted.Cheers Phil |
| 2 | 2017-05-03 11:07:01 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I agree, although not local, I have been over it. My understanding is that there are sections that are bridges and sections that are causeway and that it is in total known as Swarkestone Bridge and Swarkstone Causeway - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1088337. It certa... | |

| 48026769 by Richard Carden | 1 | 2017-04-30 13:33:36 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Richard, welcome to OSM. I notice you have set bicycle=official on way 1688656, and I don't believe that is a valid value. Can you clarify what you meant?Thanks,Mike |

| 3 | 2017-05-02 20:01:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hmm, I was about to say that it should be bicycle=designated or bicycle=yes then. However, I see that there is in fact a page explaining its use at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Dofficial - but official is not mentioned in the main access page at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/K... | |

This sounds like two names. Are they both road names? If they are, then one should go in alt_name. Or do the names belong to different parts of the road? Or is The Martins th... |
| 47920537 by Stephen the Geographer | 1 | 2017-04-30 13:18:07 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Stephen, I notice you have specified access=no and foot=yes on a number of footways in the area, giving rise to some confusion. As footways prohibit all other forms of access than foot (unless explicitly added) it is unclear what is meant by combining access=no with foot=yes on a footway.Rega... |
| 2 | 2017-04-30 16:22:04 UTC | Stephen the Geographer | Mike, I haven't contributed much yet to OSM so I'm happy to be corrected. What combination of tags should i use for a footpath?Stephen | |
| 3 | 2017-04-30 16:47:09 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Stephen, if the general public can use the footpath then you are best leaving access unset and using foot=yes. If is is signed as a public footpath, use foot=designated with designation=public_footpath. If it is signed as permissive, use foot=permissive. If the path can't be used by the public, t... | |
| 47871081 by sobbomapper | 1 | 2017-04-30 13:31:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I notice you have set way 487434551 with foot=access which isn't a valid combination. Can you take a look at it?Thanks,Mike |
| 48176317 by Riggwelter | 1 | 2017-04-30 13:28:35 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I notice you have set way 64295546 with access=permissive;private which doesn't seem to make sense. I suggest that if this is a hotel access road, access=customers might be appropriate.Cheers,Mike |

| 48102867 by tms13 | 1 | 2017-04-30 11:33:12 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, following this and associated changes there are a number of ways that now have highway=motorway, but still have ref=A8 (e.g. way 439078382) should these be M8?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-05-03 20:50:54 UTC | tms13 | I've just reviewed it all, and I only had a couple to fix. I also updated the E16 route relation through this section to use the new motorway. | |
| 47840141 by nbcaldon | 1 | 2017-04-17 16:41:15 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I notice you have created a new relation for the Nene Way, however, there is an existing Nene Way relation at http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/85093 . Can you move the ways you have added to your relation to the existing one and delete the new relation?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-04-17 17:36:54 UTC | nbcaldon | That is my plan, but I cannot see a way to do it yet, which is why I added a note to the map asking for help. Once I complete a bit more of the route between the section I have done and the existing section, it will be reasonably easy to change the relations, but until then I am stuck. I am sure th... | |
| 3 | 2017-04-17 17:48:36 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I have moved way http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/93223642 for you. You should now be able to see the main relation in that area and be able to add it to the other ways.Cheers,Mike | |
| 4 | 2017-04-17 18:18:20 UTC | nbcaldon | I wish I knew how you had done that! It's a good job I made the new relation a 'Hiking Route' and not a 'Foot Route' or I wouldn't know which was which when selecting the relation in ID editor. Thanks, David | |
| 5 | 2017-04-17 19:13:04 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I don't use ID - couldn't get on with some of its way of working, so have gone back to Potlatch 2. In that, you click the Load Relation button in the Select Relation window, then type the id number of the relation (you do have to know that, but you can find it from waymarkedrtrails.org). If you have... | |
| 6 | 2017-04-17 19:59:41 UTC | nbcaldon | That is so simple. I think it's impossible in ID, and JOSM is just too confusing that I don't know whether it's possible or not. All done now until our next walk. Thanks. David | |
| 7 | 2017-04-17 23:05:00 UTC | GinaroZ | In iD when editing a feature, if you expand "All relations" at the bottom you can click the big plus sign and then select a nearby relation. | |
| 8 | 2017-04-18 05:27:31 UTC | nbcaldon | That would have been OK, but this part of the route is too far from the next part. I don't think ID can handle this. Potlatch2, suggested by Mike Baggaley, is the answer as you can select any relation, not just nearby ones. | |
| 47835897 by Pink Duck | 1 | 2017-04-17 17:01:49 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, looking at Jolly Sailor Yard, motor_vehicle=unsuitable is not one of the standard access values - it might be better to use either no or discouraged, which are standard values, perhaps adding a note to say the road is unsuitable for motors. This will allow routing software to determine whether t... |
| 2 | 2017-04-18 08:09:33 UTC | Pink Duck | The sign says "unsuitable" explicitly. No would imply no access at all. Discouraged is perhaps an acceptable synonym, but again the sign says unsuitable, and the access is, well, unsuitable. So perhaps the 'standard' access values are outdated? | |
| 3 | 2017-04-18 15:06:30 UTC | Pink Duck | For reference, there are 62 uses of "unsuitable" versus 5 for "discouraged" via TagInfo. Also, discouraged is a different meaning to unsuitable. If one owns a particularly slim motor vehicle then the gap could be made comfortably, so the judgement is per case not a general discou... | |

There is already a Templer Way route relation in OSM that you can see at http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1837211 . T... |

| 47762476 by Martin Wynne | 1 | 2017-04-15 14:32:56 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Martin, please do not add names that are descriptive, e.g. Playground - we already know it is a playground from its tag.Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-04-15 14:54:44 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,But map users don't know it's a Playground unless I give it a name. I know there are some tiny little squiggly icons, but they are too small for someone of my age to see properly or understand what they mean. Also they vanish at some zoom levels. Most things have a name used by local resid... | |
| 3 | 2017-04-15 15:04:03 UTC | Mike Baggaley | You should not add incorrect data just so because something is not visible at a different zoom level. If the icons are too small for you to see, then please set the zoom level on your browser to display larger (I don't mean zoom in on the map). In addition to an icon, playgrounds are clearly display... | |
| 4 | 2017-04-15 15:19:49 UTC | trigpoint | Hi Martin, also remember that OSM is a geographical database. The map you see on the OSM site is just one, of many renders that are available and anyone is free to create their own if what they require something different. | |
| 5 | 2017-04-15 15:26:03 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,But how do map users know what the colours mean? I clicked on the Map Key and a Playground isn't listed.When I zoom the browser some icons vanish. Also the map gets very fuzzy. I can't seem to attach a screenshot here, so here's a link:http://85a.co.uk/forum/gallery/2/2_151117_37000000... | |
| 6 | 2017-04-15 15:29:16 UTC | trigpoint | Icons are displayed at different zoom levels, I cannot tell what zoom level that image was, but the playground icon (in mapnik) displays starting at z17. | |
| 7 | 2017-04-15 15:40:56 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi, I was zooming the browser (Firefox) as suggested by Mike, not zooming levels in OSM. At some browser zoom settings the icons vanish, and reappear at both higher and lower settings (which doesn't make sense to me).cheers,Martin. | |
| 8 | 2017-04-15 15:44:35 UTC | trigpoint | Use the + - zoom buttons, or simply the scroll wheel if you have a mouse.But do remember that OSM is a database and mapping should not be dictated by a single renderer. | |
| 9 | 2017-04-15 16:03:48 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi, Yes that's what I'm doing, using the mouse wheel. I have added a lot more detail to the Cemetery. Cheers, Martin. | |
| 10 | 2017-04-15 17:28:33 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Regarding items and/or icons seeming to vanish at different zoom levels, you may not be aware that each zoom level is generated separately over a period of time, so after you add something, a few hours later you may see it at one zoom level, but it may not have yet made it into the others. I usually... | |
| 47787368 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-04-14 20:34:42 UTC | ACS1986 | Hi Mike,Adding foot=yes would allow pedestrians whilst maintaining the traffic restrictions.Removing the access=no tag to allow pedestrians has the unintended effect of allowing some types of traffic which aren't permitted by the road signs egs. horses and non-motorised vehicles.Regards,Adam |
| 2 | 2017-04-14 23:48:13 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, Adam,I must admit I haven't checked to see whether there is a no horses sign, but these are extremely rare in the UK, so I'd be very surprised if there is one there - they are normally only found at tunnels and other places that could be dangerous. Regarding vehicular traffic, I had thought th... | |
| 3 | 2017-04-15 12:27:45 UTC | ACS1986 | Hi,The signs are the blue circular signs meaning a road for buses, cycles and taxis only. Obviously pedestrians are also allowed unless explicitly prohibited.access=no, foot=yes, bus=yes, taxi=yes bicycle=yes seems a more accurate representation of these restrictions than motor_vehicle=no, bus=y... | |
| 4 | 2017-04-15 13:47:39 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, there are several reasons I normally choose setting motor_vehicle=no over access=no and overriding specific types of access. One is that setting access=no generally sets an incorrect value for horses - neither the blue signs nor the no entry signs prohibit horses, but I don't want to explicitly ... | |
| 47725234 by Martin Wynne | 1 | 2017-04-14 13:36:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Martin welcome to OpenStreetMap. Please note that Geopark Way is the name of a long distance route, not the name of individual path segments.OpenStreetMap already has Geopark Way as the name of the route along these paths, so please do not name the paths as well.Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-04-14 14:48:54 UTC | Martin Wynne | Hi Mike,Thanks for the welcome. You have rather lost me about the Geopark Way. How will map users know it is part of the Geopark Way if I don't label it? Should it be labelled "part of Geopark Way"?Also, I see you have removed the name of the Walshes Recreation Ground. Should I add t... | |
| 3 | 2017-04-14 15:01:17 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Martin, I should have explained that the OSM standard view doesn't show long distance paths, but if you go to waymarkedtrails.org it uses the OSM data to show hiking, cycling and other routes. As for names of points of interest, they should only be added if they are proper nouns, rather than desc... | |

| 2 | 2017-04-12 12:00:26 UTC | John Grubb | Yes, I realise that, Mike - however, looking at the rendering on OSM there's nothing to indicate visually the sport; there's just three identically-green rectangles.

| 3 | 2017-04-12 12:13:43 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi John, you are correct that the standard OSM renderer shows them the same, however we should not be adding incorrect data just so that this renderer differentiates between them. Please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer . There are lots of other renederers of OSM data,... | |
| 4 | 2017-04-12 13:04:15 UTC | John Grubb | I suspect it is probably a frustration shared by many more than just myself, Mike - that every feature available to be tagged doesn't show on the "home" of OSM (openstreetmap.org), as the primary/premier/whatever perception of the product, as it were. It seems odd that you would include a ... | |

| 47531883 by gurglypipe | 1 | 2017-04-10 13:45:29 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi instead of access=residents, it might be better to map as access=private with note="residents only". This allows routing software to know whether or not it can route there.This would also agree with the access=private tag that is set on the car park.Cheers,Mike |

| 2 | 2017-04-10 18:48:39 UTC | Weasel-Wiesel | Yes, I did. Thanks for pointing that out. Changed to area=yes and access=permissive. | |
| 29094108 by c0d0 | 1 | 2017-04-09 07:36:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, do you know whether this track is now open again? I noticed it because it allows access for bicycles but nothing else, which seems unusual.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-04-09 19:56:57 UTC | c0d0 | No I do not know the state of this track. I would think the construction project nearby (/way/32634772) is complete now, so the hopefully the track (which may now be an actual road now) should be available to the public. If someone has the opportunity, both features should be surveyed and updated.... | |
| 47165623 by MacLondon | 1 | 2017-04-05 17:09:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, are pedestrians actually prohibited from ways openstreetmap.org/way/482764870 and openstreetmap.org/way/482764863 (access=no has been specified)?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-04-05 18:04:08 UTC | MacLondon | Mike, these ways are marked as bus only and form a bus only 'crossing' to allow buses to do u-turns over to the other side of Archway road - definitely not for use as a pedestrian crossing. Pedestrian access is along openstreetmap.org/way/482765894 and openstreetmap.org/way/482764868 respectively.... | |
| 3 | 2017-04-09 06:41:19 UTC | Mike Baggaley | If they are marked as bus only, then the signage does not apply to pedestrians. It is perfectly legal (but may not be advisable) to walk in a bus lane unless there is a specific no pedestrians sign. The prohibited tag (=no) should not be used to tag inadvisable usage. I certainly suggest that way 48... | |
| 47514132 by ianc | 1 | 2017-04-07 13:40:09 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Olney Footpath 9 is not a suitable name for a path or road. Please use loc_ref or prow_ref for path numbers.Thanks,Mike |
| 47473790 by Robert Whittaker | 1 | 2017-04-06 10:12:13 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Robert, I don't think that Path #1 is correct to use for the name field as this does not seem to be a proper noun. I suggest this should go in either loc_ref (local reference) or prow_ref (if it is a public right of way reference - see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:prow_ref). Can you ple... |
| 2 | 2017-04-06 10:56:21 UTC | Robert Whittaker | The ways in question are https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/116516240 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/484923139 . One appears to have been created by me, but was only the result of splitting the way to alter the highway=* tag on one part. The name="Path #1" was originally added by map... | |
| 3 | 2017-04-06 12:01:47 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Thanks for the reply. If I'd noticed you'd just split the way I wouldn't have contacted you. Looking at them and a few nearby paths, I think they are just numbers generated by the mapper. There are no indications of any authority for the numbers, so I have moved them to the note field in case they a... | |

| 47185336 by INeilC | 1 | 2017-04-05 21:36:15 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, home you don't mind me mentioning, but access=designated (as specified on ways 482913717 and 482913719 in this changeset) is an invalid combination of tag and value.

In the latest change foot=yes has been removed. Are pedestrians actually prohibited? I think there is a wide pavement for this segment and unless there is a sign prohibiting pedestrians, I don't think foot ac... |
| 2 | 2017-04-05 17:26:01 UTC | jpennycook | Hello Mike. I will take a look shortly, and get back to you. Jon | |
| 3 | 2017-04-05 17:28:36 UTC | jpennycook | I see what you mean about the London Street bus access roads - I will fix it. Thanks for pointing that out. | |
| 4 | 2017-04-05 18:14:02 UTC | jpennycook | Hello Mike.I've changed access=no to motor_vehicle=no, which seems the easiest thing to do.Thanks again,Jon | |

I'm not sure whether the unclosed line is part of the retail park or not. Can you take a look at http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4292131 ?... |

Hope you don't mind me commenting, but when adding information, please leave the name tag blank if there is no proper name for the facility (or you don't know what it is). I have removed the name tag Bowling Green from this bowling green.Happy mapping,Mike |
| 46606459 by yourealwaysbe | 1 | 2017-03-14 01:28:25 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, this change seems to have inadvertently removed the highway tag on way 420606034. Can you please check what you intended?Thanks,Mike |

| 46473607 by dudone | 1 | 2017-03-14 01:17:14 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, hope you don't mind me commenting, but if a track allows access to agricultural and forestry vehicles (e.g. way 477728220), rather than using motor_vehicle=agricultural;forestry, I suggest using motor_vehicle=forestry and agricultural=yes. This avoids putting two values in a tag - multiple value... |
| 2 | 2017-03-15 20:12:49 UTC | dudone | Hi MikeNo problem with the feedback. I'm afraid I don't know how to find the specific way you mention to look at the history.

| 46436312 by ChrisHodgesUK | 1 | 2017-03-14 01:05:34 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Chris, I think you need access:conditional=yes@(Mar-Oct) and also access=noThis gives a default of no access to systems that only read the access value. You could swap the details and give the closed months instead of the open months, depending on whether you want it to default to closed or o... |
| 2 | 2017-03-17 16:34:37 UTC | ChrisHodgesUK | Thanks Mike, that's logical -- and thanks for following through on the fix, I haven't checked this account much in the last few days. I wonder if it will propagate to cyclestreets now you've fixed it, as I've been caught out (I've raised it with them as well -- after all, it's odd to have a nationa... | |
| 46738244 by LivingWithDragons | 1 | 2017-03-14 00:53:32 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi dragon tamer, I notice that you have specified access=staff on way 479717932. Whilst this is perfectly legal, it will not be recognised by any system processing the data because it is not a standard value. I suggest it would be better to put access=private (perhaps with staff entrance or similar ... |
| 2 | 2017-03-14 13:37:33 UTC | LivingWithDragons | Hmm, I thought access=* (any value) was generally accepted and used, although you seem to be right that it isn't.There was a sign declaring staff only, so access=private losses some information. Looking at the wiki documentation, I'm stuck for a better option so I'll go with that. | |
| 3 | 2017-03-16 11:21:00 UTC | SK53 | I generally go with access=private for staff entrances, car parks etc. I'm not sure that a specific tag for staff adds very much, but you could always look at subtagging. I doubt if anyone has tagged various lawns in Cambridge with access=master; access=fellow and access=scholar :-) | |
| 46527609 by INeilC | 1 | 2017-03-14 00:46:31 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I notice that access=designated has been added to this track. This is not a valid combination - please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Ddesignated for details. I would also normally expect to see designation=public_footpath along with foot=designated.Happy mapping,Mike |
| 46478364 by roburite | 1 | 2017-03-14 00:41:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, access=designated is not a valid combination, but seems to have been added to way 234722913 in this change. Can you please review it? Please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Ddesignated for details.Cheers,Mike |
| 46616517 by RichardB | 1 | 2017-03-13 23:24:44 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, this change appears to change part of Old Hall Lane from unclassified to abandoned. I believe the tagging for the abandoned road should be abandoned:highway=unclassified rather than highway=abandoned. I would have just changed it, but noticed that it still has a walking route tagged along it and... |
| 46448064 by mountainmonkey | 1 | 2017-03-13 23:15:00 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I think your change adds way 297059390 to the coast path, however, this way is marked as private. Can you please review the access to this way? Please accept my apologies if I have misinterpreted your change.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-03-15 11:45:13 UTC | mountainmonkey | Well spotted, thanks. These roads are open for non motorised users so I have corrected the access tags to reflect this. | |
| 46442901 by JamesKingdom | 1 | 2017-03-13 22:55:08 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi James, welcome to OpenStreetMap. I think you may be having trouble with highway name and ref fields as this change seems to have replaced the names of several roads, with the refs (ways 125936016, 4731859 and 5235810). The name field should hold a name such as "East Avenue" and the ref ... |

| 46465649 by samlarsen1 | 1 | 2017-03-13 22:38:36 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, it seems unlikely to me that the name of a path would be "Meadowbank House Entrance Walkway". This seems more like a description to me. Can you please review it and move it to the description tag if this is not a real name?Thanks,Mike |
| 46568885 by Martin Borsje | 1 | 2017-03-13 22:30:56 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you please review your change of\tSouthwood Road, which has a ref of B749, from secondary to tertiary. If it is the B749, it is by definition a secondary road. If it has been declassified please remove the ref, otherwise please restore the highway to secondary.Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-03-14 06:06:33 UTC | Martin Borsje | Hi MIkeI restored my change, but in my perception Monktonhill Orad is the throughway and deserves a higher class than the in my view residential Southwood Rd.But if the official classification is like that....OKBRMartin | |
| 46694497 by Thomas Jarvis | 1 | 2017-03-13 22:26:40 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi I'm unclear why you have changed the highway type of the B2272 from secondary to primary. It can't be primary and the B2272, so one or other needs to be changed. Can you please review this?Thanks,Mike |

| 46414872 by Phil_A | 1 | 2017-03-13 22:15:50 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you please review the change you have made to Waterfront Way (way 4381408), removing motor_vehicle=no and adding access=no. This change implies no pedestrian access and I believe is unlikely to be correct.Thanks,Mike |
| 46721886 by jpennycook | 1 | 2017-03-13 20:56:56 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I note that you have removed pedestrian access from the busway in way 156761024 and adjoining ways. Is there an explicit no pedestrians sign, or was the removal unintentional? With the access mapped at present, from Shrewsbury Avenue, pedestrians share the cycle way then have nowhere to go when ... |
| 2 | 2017-03-13 21:02:48 UTC | jpennycook | Hello Mike. Thanks for the message. I will take a look tomorrow - I thought I had gone back and fixed this since, but I may have only thought about it. Jon | |
| 3 | 2017-03-14 12:54:26 UTC | jpennycook | Hello MikeClearly I only thought about it, but didn't fix it. Hopefully this is now fixed in changesets #46834542 and | |

| 46550758 by nickbits | 1 | 2017-03-13 20:41:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, did you intend to prevent pedestrian access to the bus lane at the end of Rookes Way (way 464808090)? This is the implication of access=no.Regards,Mike |

| 46265021 by Zugführer | 1 | 2017-02-23 18:31:23 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, The name on road "A96 Park and Choose" doesn't look like a real road name. I know you didn't set the name but as you changed the way from construction to highway thought you might have an idea as to whether this should be a description rather than name.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-02-24 12:56:44 UTC | Zugführer | Sorry, I don't know a better name. I only noticed that the construction of this road is finished when I drove to the Airport by bus, the bus stops there. There are a lot of parking places around the road as well, by th way. | |

Post Office names are generally of the form Place Post Office where Place might be the name of a town, village, road or similar. "Post Office" on its own is better ... |
| 46224899 by TayportMike | 1 | 2017-02-21 15:29:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, welcome to OSM. Hope you don't mind me commenting, but access=staff is not a normally used value. I suggest access=private might be better (you could add a note or desciption in to say this is for staff only).Regards,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-02-21 16:51:58 UTC | TayportMike | I welcome constructive criticism/advice; OSM complexity is quite a challenge. I was just trying to avoid anyone trying to use this path/bridge. I will happily re-tag this as private. Thanks for the help. Mike | |
| 46225680 by nickbits | 1 | 2017-02-21 15:22:39 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, hope you don't mind me commenting, but the correct way to tag a bus lane is not access=bus lane - you need to specify which classes of user are allowed to use the highway. For example, motor_vehicle=no and bus=yes would allow foot, bicycle and bus users (and horses). In this case, leave access u... |
| 2 | 2017-03-06 20:34:54 UTC | nickbits | Mike, thanks for that. I did it like that as there was no entry on the view for a bus. Seeing what you have done, know for future reference. Thanks, Nick | |
| 46129567 by stuskin | 1 | 2017-02-17 20:59:51 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is the service road on way 474992615 really named Farm Access? This seems more like a description. Can you please remove it if it is not a real road name.Thanks,Mike |

I am unclear what that is intended to achieve, as it has foot=yes;bicycle=yes;horse=yes and motor_vehicle=permissive, which together mean the access=no is overridden for all classes of user. Also, if has been named "Bus Gate... |

| 3 | 2017-02-13 20:17:26 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Thanks for the reply. I suggest taking the name off the road and setting loc_name instead. This is used to specify a locally used name.

| 45921455 by Spearmint | 1 | 2017-02-10 14:45:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I wonder whether you could take a look at way 473371348 and nearby highways you have added with names of Bus Lane, Drop Off and numbers 1 to 12. These do not look like real road names, and seem to be descriptive (for the first two). Not sure about the others - are they bus stand numbers or lane ... |
| 2 | 2017-02-13 09:53:15 UTC | Spearmint | Hi,Well after passing through customs recently, I saw it first hand. Roads are marked as such, and I've marked it to match.

| 3 | 2017-02-13 10:58:36 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, welcome to OSM.The name field should be used to hold a name that would be recognised in an area bigger than just locally and should not normally be numeric as these are normally held in the ref field (normally for nationally recognised references such as A1).When something is on a sign,... | |
| 4 | 2017-02-13 11:54:48 UTC | Spearmint | I've changed them all to a description only.Made the bus lane bus = yes, motor vehicle=no. Finally the drop of is now destination only - I guess you could drive round it for a laugh, but it's sole purpose is dropping off people | |

Just a small point that I hope you won't mind me pointing out - when adding items, names of them should only be added if they are proper nouns and left blank if the item has no name. Descriptive information should not be put in the name field.Happy mapping,Mike |

| 4 | 2017-02-09 08:26:37 UTC | Mike Baggaley | The error checking website http://keepright.at flags schools with no name as errors, so they should get noticed. Thanks for the info on post offices.Cheers,Mike | |
| 45879987 by Andrew Heaton | 1 | 2017-02-08 22:32:16 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is "Bowring Park entrance" really the name of the road that leads towards Bowring Park car park? It sounds more like a description.Regards,Mike |

| 24444927 by Ken_traveline | 1 | 2017-02-07 16:13:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Ken, I know it is some time ago since you made this change, but can you recall whether "Hospital Bus Hub" is the actual name of two roads, or is the bus hub something else (e.g. a set of bus stops). It seems an unlikely road name, but I don't want to delete it without some evidence one ... |
| 2 | 2017-02-07 16:24:09 UTC | Ken_traveline | Hi MikeThe bus hub is essentially a mini bus station with buses stopping on Deansleigh Road or in each of the two marked drive through lanes which have shelters alongside.

| 45855625 by Stephen Paulger | 1 | 2017-02-07 14:46:50 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI highway=byway is deprecated and should no longer be used - please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dbyway and http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_access_provisions . Can you please update with whichever of the alternatives is the correct one?Thanks,Mike |
| 45794312 by frost409 | 1 | 2017-02-07 14:27:05 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, it seeme unlikely that "Tesco pedestrian access" is the name of a highway, it sounds much more like a description. Highway names should be names you would expect to find in a gazetteer of highway names. If this is not a real name, please delete it.Thanks,Mike |
| 45801496 by Mintra | 1 | 2017-02-07 14:18:00 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, your change of High Street from a secondary road to a tertiary road has left way 18790688 with a ref of B3355, and a highway of tertiary, which is inconsistent. I suspect that this part of High Street is not part of the B3355. Can you please either delete the ref or return the highway to seconda... |

| 45633568 by TitoCasq | 1 | 2017-02-01 12:24:20 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you check whether you intended to create a route with just a single way belonging to it at http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6926985? It doesn't seem to add anything.Regards,Mike |

Please remove the n... |
| 45486706 by SNBS | 1 | 2017-01-30 12:24:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, "Meadows Car Park" is not the name of the roads within the car park.

| 45217565 by Ernst Schnell | 1 | 2017-01-23 18:02:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Ernst, Is "Cults Primary School Access" really the name of this highway 466398072? This sounds more like a description.Regards,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-01-23 19:26:06 UTC | Ernst Schnell | Hi Mike, Yeah, I guess you are right. The highway is a driveway, but I have taken the name out. Just not much of a fan of streets with no names ;-) But that is fixed now.RegardsErnst | |
| 44973485 by BotleyBoy | 1 | 2017-01-23 17:59:25 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I don't think "access to local nature reserve" is a valid name for highway 464259584. This looks more like a description.Regards,Mike |

| 37712761 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-01-22 10:18:16 UTC | Richard | Hi Mike,Interested to note your retagging of the D'Arcy Dalton Way with a comment that it's "no longer classified as a long-distance path". It still appears to be signposted round here and the guidebook has just (December) been republished. Can you shed any light?All the bestRich... |
| 2 | 2017-01-22 12:51:56 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Richard, Unfortunately I can't remember where I got the information from (possibly LDWA), but my update predates the new guidebook by almost a year. I assume that the route has subsequently been updated and reclassified. I have removed the historic prefix.Regards,Mike | |
| 3 | 2017-01-22 16:34:18 UTC | Richard | Hi Mike,That's great - thank you. Went for a walk today and it is still (happily) very much in evidence on the ground, albeit a bit muddy!All the bestRichard | |
| 45026476 by robbob700 | 1 | 2017-01-17 16:48:51 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I think that the bus only restriction may be just at the end of way 464720540 to prevent through traffic, rather than along the whole of that and adjoining way 302285986. It seems to be a new housing estate, so it seems unlikely that residents would not have access to their own houses. At the ve... |
| 2 | 2017-01-17 22:34:47 UTC | robbob700 | Thanks MikeYes I meant to show this as a shorter length of road. I've now corrected it.Robert | |
| 45164183 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-01-15 16:23:23 UTC | ndm | Not a description - it is a prominent name in addition to logos/branding. I have added a note that the name needs to be (re)surveyed. Could you please add such notes in the future; unless you've directly surveyed it. |
| 2 | 2017-01-15 23:59:59 UTC | Mike Baggaley | In hindsight, it would have been better if I had moved Post Office to the brand tag instead of just removing it. I will go back and set the brand tag. I believe the correct name should be <something> Post Office, not just Post Office on its ownCheers,Mike | |
| 3 | 2017-01-16 00:22:06 UTC | ndm | I was finishing up an edit on this road -- and found a couple of relevant photos. Have updated the name. | |
| 45109495 by andyfrizzle | 1 | 2017-01-14 18:45:11 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Andy, U10633 does not seem like a valid name for way 107127842. Were you intending it to be the ref?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-01-14 18:47:44 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I also notice ways 138609531, 144783725 and 144783731 have similar errors (U4047 and U3071).Mike | |

| 4 | 2017-01-14 23:43:10 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Andy, no problem with the numbers, but they need to go in the ref field, not the name field. I think there are 7 instances of your changes putting them in the name field - the 4 previously mentioned plus ways 202029240, 465437434 and 465437953.You can view them at URLs of the form http://www.... | |
| 5 | 2017-01-14 23:58:11 UTC | andyfrizzle | Mike,I will amend the records, but I cannot see where to enter the 'ref=U1063' data when editing the map. Let me know how to do this and I will amend the records.Andy | |

| 45071423 by Mappernerd | 1 | 2017-01-14 18:56:05 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is there some reason why you have removed junction=roundabout from way 369298681 or was this a mistake? There is now an incomplete roundabout at this point. Can you either reinstate this tag or if this is not a real roundabout, remove junction=roundabout from the rest of the ways?Thanks,Mi... |
| 44340326 by mossman | 1 | 2017-01-13 16:29:56 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, have you inadvertently merged two ways into way 228274269? Your recent change has set designation=public_bridleway; public_footpath, foot=designated; yes and access=designated. None of the above are valid values. Can you take a look at what you intended?Cheers,Mike |
| 38295832 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2017-01-11 13:15:47 UTC | Derby45 | Hi Mike, this is only an advised route from Cycle Derby. It's not a signed route or part of any network.03 is the number of the leaflet printed locally.This shows on the cycle map as 03. |
| 2 | 2017-01-11 13:26:24 UTC | Mike Baggaley | OK, probably would be better as loc_ref=3. I'll change it to that. Cheers,Mike | |
| 44881022 by Gyrwa | 1 | 2017-01-10 17:32:39 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, you have recently set way 144233963 and adjoining way to be access=no, bus=yes. This combination means pedestrians have no access. Is that what you intended, or would you be better using motor_vehicle=no and bicycle=no instead of access=no?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2017-01-10 19:10:37 UTC | Gyrwa | It was intended, I mapped the parallel footway/cycleway as seperate ways. I will look into the consensus on this to see if the ways around the station need redoing. | |
| 3 | 2017-01-10 19:41:55 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I think that unless there is a sign saying no pedestrians, the way should allow pedestrian access. It is normally perfectly legal (though possibly inadvisable) to walk along the road, even if there is an adjacent pavement. If road only data is being extracted from the OSM database, this will prohibi... | |
| 31773456 by wilbysuffolk | 1 | 2017-01-05 16:54:32 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, the change is some time ago (last year), but you appear to have changed way 105885027 to be a footway with no foot access. Can you remember whether that is what you intended?Cheers,Mike |

Can you check what you intended?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-12-28 22:39:53 UTC | Cptliam010 | I don't see a problem I have just added in a few pathements | |
| 3 | 2016-12-29 00:26:40 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I can only assume you have replied without actually looking at way 125240282, which you can view at http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/125240282 .

| 41859939 by eastender | 1 | 2016-12-27 00:32:07 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi way 4487075 appears to have an A road ref, be part of a roundabout, and be a service road with private access. This would appear to be somewhat unusual. Is the junction really a roundabout, and should the A road ref be removed from it?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-12-27 01:27:41 UTC | eastender | Originally way 4487075 formed part of a roundabout. The local authority refers to it as a longabout, which reflects the shape of the junction. Traffic could circulate in a clockwise direction, although the junction where the way meets the east side of the roundabout was traffic light controlled. Whe... | |
| 44242482 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-12-07 20:56:06 UTC | ndm | Not sure what "foot access" has to do with this change. It just seems to lose information about switching lanes. Bing imagery is out of date -- and I thought it was mapped fairly well. Did you survey this? |
| 2 | 2016-12-07 23:08:37 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Apologies if I have misinterpreted this junction. I was adding sidewalk=none to clarify why the road had no foot access.

| 44073504 by Pete Owens | 1 | 2016-12-02 14:59:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi way 23563067 several adjoining roads appear to have a ref of A574 but have been changed to secondary. If the roads have been downgraded, please remove the A road ref. If not, please set the highway back to primary.Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-12-02 16:45:39 UTC | Pete Owens | Changed back - but the designation is historic. These roads do not form part of Warrington's primary network anymore and are not signed on the ground. | |
| 3 | 2016-12-02 16:57:38 UTC | Mike Baggaley | If the reference no longer applies, it might be better to put the reference in the old_ref tag and put highway as tertiary (if secondary it ought to have a B ref).Cheers,Mike | |

If so, please put B666 in the ref field and also update the bridges and links to rounda... |
| 2 | 2016-10-22 10:32:54 UTC | trigpoint | I also don't believe that this is secondary road, you have changed it from a tertiary. It would be unlikely that a B road alternative to a bypass would be provided, it just isn't the way LCC do things.Have you any evidence that this is not a tertiary road?I also have serious doubts about the B... | |
| 3 | 2016-12-21 00:08:36 UTC | trigpoint | Fixed in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/44553986 | |
| 42798816 by FollowMeChaps | 1 | 2016-10-20 10:39:39 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, please note Wye Valley Walk should be the name of the route, not the name of the the individual path segments making up the walk. These paths are already part of the Wye Valley Walk route relation.Regards,Miike |
| 41941714 by tms13 | 1 | 2016-09-15 13:11:39 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I notice that way 440858988 has been changed to abandoned, I assume due to recent road changes in the area. However, cycle route 71 appears to run along it. Can you confirm whether route 71 needs to be re-routed or whether the old road is still in use as a cycleway?Cheers,Mike B. |
| 2 | 2016-09-15 18:43:28 UTC | tms13 | Thanks for spotting this. I think that the cycleway is routed over the new track to Low Street - I've made a best-guess edit in changeset 42182872; it could do with an on-the-ground check to be completely sure. None of my photos have any NCN signage in them at all. | |
| 41327847 by Kangaroony | 1 | 2016-09-05 09:37:57 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, in this change, a number of ways have been downgraded from secondary to tertiary. However, they have ref set to B3205. Have these sections of road been declassified? If so, please also remove the ref. If not, I would be grateful if you could revert the roads to secondary, as that is the correct ... |
| 41082002 by Rob Lane | 1 | 2016-09-04 16:17:23 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, looks like way 120290121 has been merged from ways with conflicting tags as it has foot=yes;permissive and highway=footway;track. Can you check what it should be?Cheers,Mike |
| 41836126 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-08-31 22:22:34 UTC | GinaroZ | Hi, noticed you removed the ref=A199 from the roundabout - what's the reason for doing that? And are you planning on doing it for all the other roundabouts as well? |
| 2 | 2016-08-31 23:20:11 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, the main change was to separate roads so that each road joins at a separate node, which I am aiming to do on a lot of roundabouts. Roundabouts are junctions between different roads and are not strictly part of any of the adjoining roads, and hence shouldn't have the ref of an adjoining road (the... | |
| 41717216 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-08-26 21:35:41 UTC | ndm | Are you sure this is correct? I thought that the whole point was that cyclists don't need to enter the roundabout -- check it out on Bing. A "Fixing roundabouts" changeset comment would've been really useful too. Cheers. |
| 2 | 2016-08-26 23:27:58 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I did use Bing to fix the roundabout, to separate the cycleway and road points where they meet the roundabout. The previous entry already touched the roundabout at the same point as the road. From Bing I would say you could draw that part of the roundabout several ways. The original violates the jun... | |
| 3 | 2016-08-27 10:24:52 UTC | ndm | Well, it's being redeveloped so will need resurveying soon. P.S. I use JOSM, so it remembers a last set of changeset comments -- but a simple text file and copy/paste would do the same for other editors -- a pain the first time, but not for subsequent edits. | |
| 41717138 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-08-26 21:38:54 UTC | ndm | Are you sure this is correct? Buses on separated bus lane can no longer enter the roundabout. A changeset comment would be good too. Thanks. |
| 2 | 2016-08-26 23:12:29 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hopefully now improved - I was confused as the bus routes were showing as down the right hand lane, not the left. I have also moved them to the left lane. Regards,Mike | |
| 41029503 by Troon | 1 | 2016-08-25 10:34:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, the roundabout at way 4533238 does not seem to be complete. Can you confirm whether this is what is on the ground or whether a segment has been missed out? Bing shows a complete roundabout.Regards,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-08-25 11:10:10 UTC | Troon | It's correct — lots of road alterations going on | |
| 41338776 by Kangaroony | 1 | 2016-08-22 23:38:13 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I notice you have changed the highway value of way 23219793 and adjoining ways from secondary to tertiary. Is this road no longer the B3205? If so, can you please remove the ref. If not, secondary is the correct highway type.Regards,Mike |
| 41580325 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-08-22 18:03:14 UTC | chillly | If the footway (or track or whatever) is a public right of way I suggest you add designation=public_footpath or designation=public_bridleway. It allows you to split the legal designation from the physical highway, for example a track (highway=track) could be a public footpath or a bridleway |
| 2 | 2016-08-22 18:47:29 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Not sure I understand why you have made this comment on my change - I am fully aware of the use of designation, but my change was just removing an incorrect name from the path (it had the name of a route in it). I have no idea of the legal or physical details of the path as I am not local to it. | |
| 3 | 2016-08-22 18:50:59 UTC | chillly | A changeset comment would have helped others understand what your change is about. | |
| 41531946 by Hbunnet | 1 | 2016-08-21 09:11:10 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is 105 really the name of the peak at node 4355538354, or did you intend this to be an elevation?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-08-21 09:45:31 UTC | Hbunnet | Thanks, corrected now. | |
| 41350633 by Fluclo | 1 | 2016-08-17 10:35:32 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is way 334783369 really one-way? If so, oneway=1 is a discouraged value - oneway=yes is the preferred value.Regards,Mike |
| 41176838 by Stan W | 1 | 2016-08-14 16:25:55 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Stan, I do not think Public Footpath (A66) is a valid highway name. A66 sounds more like a reference of some sort. I have moved it to the loc_ref field.Regards,Mike |
| 41300486 by tomca12 | 1 | 2016-08-09 06:58:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, "West Highland Way" is the name of a route, and should not be added as the name of the highways along which the route runs. You will find the route relation already has that name.Happy mapping,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-08-09 08:29:34 UTC | tomca12 | I am sorry, it didn't show in the navigation app OsmAnd so I thought it wasn't there. Or do you think it's not that particular way I have marked? I am a little confused. In the Landranger map it was this particular way and had the name along it and in the terrain I would have found it useful if the ... | |
| 3 | 2016-08-09 09:17:58 UTC | SomeoneElse | @tomca12 Lots of things are in the data that any one individual map can't show. There are web maps that already show this sort of information - see e.g. http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=14!53.0918!-1.6495 and http://www.thunderforest.com/maps/outdoors/ . If you think that it'd be a useful a... | |
| 4 | 2016-08-09 13:42:38 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, to clarify, if you look at http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/16287 you will see it is a relation for the whole of the West Highland Way. All the highways that form part of the West Highland way are members of that relation which holds the name of the long distance route, along with a few oth... | |
| 5 | 2016-08-13 18:05:34 UTC | tomca12 | OK, so is it corrected now? I will use OsmAnd for a little longer for walking mountains, etc. to see what would actually be useful to have in there from that perspective. :) | |
| 6 | 2016-08-13 18:09:39 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Yes, I have removed the names of routes from the highways. | |
| 41311613 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-08-08 14:01:49 UTC | trigpoint | Hi MikeSomething seems to have gone a bit wrong.here, you seem to have removed the.ways from this through route relation.What.were you trying to achieve or what did you see wrong here? Cheers Phil |
| 2 | 2016-08-08 16:57:01 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Phil, my understanding of the through_route relation is that it should have two ways and one common node to indicate the normal way ahead. This relation had more that two ways connected to it and was causing warnings to be generated in a process I use based on the OSM data. I was going to try to ... | |
| 3 | 2016-08-08 20:36:27 UTC | trigpoint | Thank you for your reply Mike.The number of ways had increased, caused by adding speed limits.Had not realised the proposal had been rejected, although it is important and should be revived at some point. I am quite surprised by the lack of understanding in some of the comments, these junctions ... | |
| 41129897 by CraigW | 1 | 2016-07-31 11:18:29 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI Craig, the correct way to add Welsh and English road names is to put the English name in name:en, the Welsh name in name:cy and one of the two names in the name field. The name field should not have more than one name in it.Happy mapping,Mike |
| 40980558 by DanGregory | 1 | 2016-07-28 14:52:26 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Dan, you have set way 84801616 to be private, but it has the Wales Coast Path relation along it. Are you sure it is private, or should the coast path be running along the nearby path? |
| 40538588 by blowfishsoup | 1 | 2016-07-21 12:52:25 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, are you sure "Building 1 Approach Road" is really the name of this road. This sounds more like a description, or possibly a local name.Cheers,Mike |
| 39188508 by Johnpoulson | 1 | 2016-05-26 10:08:43 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, John, you appear to have changed the name of this road from Llanfair Road to A483 with the comment "Road name incorrect". I don't know whether Llanfair Road is the correct name, but A483 is definitely wrong for the name. Can you please review? |
| 39188381 by Johnpoulson | 1 | 2016-05-12 08:59:45 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, you appear to have changed the name of this road to A483 with a comment that the road name was incorrect. It is now definitely incorrect as A483 is its reference. Can you please check what you intended? I note that there is also an adjoining bridge which also had the same name - does this need a... |
| 2 | 2016-05-12 11:27:43 UTC | SomeoneElse | "A483" already was the "ref" here and I don't remember seeing a name when I last drove along it. If something doesn't have a name (and many roads don't) there's no need to store the ref in the name field as well.Oh - and welcome to OpenStreetMap! | |
| 39156451 by BCNorwich | 1 | 2016-05-09 19:55:34 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, ER6 is not the name of a highway. I have assumed this is the local reference for a footpath, so have moved it to the loc_ref field. |
| 2 | 2016-05-10 05:52:32 UTC | BCNorwich | Hi, my main concern here was that a new highway (that footpath) was placed atop an existing one which was wrongly tagged as highway=service. I corrected this.I do notice that relatively new mapper joejwall has added numerous way names in this manner, also naming paths and tracks as name=Path and... | |
| 38273597 by h2g2bob | 1 | 2016-05-08 22:42:03 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Is Rayleigh Road no longer the A1015? Please either remove ref=A1015 or reinstate highway=primary. Thanks. |
| 2 | 2016-05-10 00:00:23 UTC | h2g2bob | Hi, the A1015 continues down Rayleigh Road here, but this is no longer the main route used by traffic. Out of 15,000 cars going along Rayleigh Road, 13,000 continue along Whitehouse Road (according to https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=17kjyGeMlh5qOb0UD3a2VwaxD173Cjssy61SDQ_Y#map:i... | |

| 4 | 2016-05-10 23:44:27 UTC | h2g2bob | Hi,To be clear, the edit to the map is from observing how traffic uses the Rochford Corner junction (I'm local to the area) and observing that almost all the traffic continues to Whitehouse Road and very little continues south.The council have classified these roads poorly compared to their ... | |
| 38852367 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-04-25 21:23:26 UTC | ndm | Not clear how deleting the names from the driveway improves OpenStreetmap -- maybe replacing the & with a ; might have been better. Or adding a note for local mappers.Would be so much easier to tell what the changeset is meant to do if there was a comment. |
| 2 | 2016-04-25 22:35:11 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Apologies. These names are not the names of highways, they are the names of buildings.hence the deletion from the highway. There are others nearby that I moved the name to addr:housename, but must have omitted this one. | |
| 37885338 by tms13 | 1 | 2016-04-06 16:22:35 UTC | Mike Baggaley | The junction of Clyde Arc and Govan Road now has way 133800148 with oneway=yes;no and running into a one way segment of Govan Road. This doesn't seem quite right.Regards,Mike |
| 38015759 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-03-23 11:32:20 UTC | GinaroZ | Why did you change this from a path to a footway? |
| 2 | 2016-03-23 11:39:09 UTC | Mike Baggaley | because it has footway=sidewalk. The help on Tag:footway=sidewalk says, "Use footway=sidewalk along with highway=footway to tag sidewalks". Is there some reason you think it should not be a footpath? | |
| 36038072 by AnkEric | 1 | 2016-03-22 00:02:49 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, are you sure these conditional restrictions are correct? It seems unlikely that this area would have restrictions on when pedestrians can access it. There is also a national cycle route apparently running along it. I suspect the conditions should be on motor vehicles.Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-03-22 09:22:37 UTC | AnkEric | History {5/12/08}: [access=no] + [bicyle=yes] + [foot=yes] + [hour_on] = 10:00 + [hour_off] = 16:00; Osmose: Tag hour_off, hour_on is deprecated: [Conditional_restrictions] or opening_hours; This Osmose error is chasing me since {9/24/12} ;-) So now I corrected tagging not to use deprecated ta... | |
| 3 | 2016-03-22 11:31:59 UTC | SomeoneElse | @AnkEric If re-survey is not an option, I'd suggest adding an OSM note so that local mappers and visitors can check. Changing something that is detectably wrong to something undetectably wrong makes the quality of OSM data worse, not better. | |
| 4 | 2016-03-22 16:37:55 UTC | AnkEric | http://osmose.openstreetmap.fr/en/map is leading in mapping errors detection. An error dating back for 2777 days old is not very 'detectably'. At least local mappers have not been very responsive. Is it 'wrong'? That's the question. It's at least highly unlikely. My change was detected afte... | |
| 37800655 by skgrange | 1 | 2016-03-20 12:18:19 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, The Ridgeway is the name of a route, and should not be added as the name of a highway (path).Regards,Mike |
| 36928012 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-03-09 21:46:28 UTC | SomeoneElse | Any reason why you've changed the Sabrina Way from route=foot;horse to route=horse?All of the bits that I've mapped it's been perfectly possible to follow on foot! |
| 2 | 2016-03-09 22:23:13 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, the Sabrina way is specifically a long distance bridleway developed for the British Horse Society, according to http://www.peakdistrictview.com/ and www.ldwa.org.uk. Whilst I would expect it to be walkable (and mtb cycleable), it is not primarily a walking route, hence my reason for changing it. | |
| 3 | 2016-03-09 22:35:44 UTC | SomeoneElse | It follows bridleways, sure - but the signage is such that you'd never follow it on a horse! In what way did it look like "not a walking route" to you? | |
| 4 | 2016-03-09 22:46:24 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Did you read my previous note? | |
| 5 | 2016-03-09 22:48:02 UTC | SomeoneElse | Yes - although personally I tend to rely on surveys rather than websites. | |
| 6 | 2016-03-09 23:00:24 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Which is excellent for mapping the actual route. However, no amount of survey will tell you what the route is intended for. | |
| 7 | 2016-03-09 23:24:50 UTC | Mike Baggaley | To compare with cycle routes, pretty much all of which can be walked, we do not put route=foot;cycle, so to me it seems logical to handle this in the same way. | |
| 35731872 by abc26324 | 1 | 2016-02-23 17:28:44 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, if the A159 continues further along Ashby Road, as suggested by your recent edit, can you change the highway type to primary or trunk to reflect this?Cheers,Mike |
| 37252158 by Dr-Mx | 1 | 2016-02-23 16:22:19 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Is London Road still the A269, or has this section been declassified now the A2690 is open? |

| 29429717 by Polar020202 | 1 | 2016-02-18 17:49:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, are the roads really named D2 Business Park - this sounds more like the name of the area than the name of the road? |
| 36526006 by Dasto | 1 | 2016-02-01 20:18:11 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I suggest that "Under Construction for Woodside-M1 link road" should go in the description field, not the name field for way 72721875. The name field should only contain the recognised name of the road. You may also wish to use highway=construction and construction=unclassified.Rega... |
| 16064137 by Mauls | 1 | 2016-01-31 16:53:53 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Is there some reason why 220735319 is tagged as highway=no with no other tags? |
| 36734652 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-01-22 21:50:21 UTC | Yorvik Prestigitator | Why have you changed the name? This section of road is called De Grey Terrace according to the signs and the addresses of the houses on it |
| 2 | 2016-01-23 00:57:22 UTC | Mike Baggaley | As I understand it, this part of the road is still Avenue Road, with a few houses forming De Grey Terrace, so I have moved what seemed to me to be the less important name to the alt_name field so that the name Avenue Road is contiguous. It does not seem correct to me to have a road name of De Grey T... | |
| 36730463 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2016-01-22 21:44:10 UTC | Yorvik Prestigitator | The street sign says "Tang Hall Lane 124-138" which is what is down this street.Also "addr:housenumber" should not be used for ways according to the wiki |
| 2 | 2016-01-23 00:47:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | One needs to use some common sense when reading street signs. The sign saying Tang Hall Lane 124-138 indicates that the street name is Tang Hall Lane with just house numbers 124-138 on this section of the road. If The street name were Tang Hall Lane 124-138, then this would mean that house number 12... | |

| 2 | 2016-01-23 00:40:06 UTC | Mike Baggaley | The street name is not Northfield Terrace / Railway View, it has two names. I have put one in the name field and the other in the alt_name field, which I believe is the correct way to handle this situation. | |
| 36148747 by Yorvik Prestigitator | 1 | 2016-01-22 10:23:46 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, I think Kirk Hammerton Business Park is the name of an area, not the name of a road, so I have taken the liberty of removing the road name and adding an industrial area around it.Regards, |
| 25502713 by Mauls | 1 | 2016-01-19 16:36:19 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is way 65698724 really named Pitsford Street Link Road? It sounds more like a description. If it is correct, it might be an idea to add a note indicating where you got it from, due to the unusual nature.Cheers,MikeCheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-01-19 17:51:53 UTC | trigpoint | I have never seen any names on this section of the A50. I have carefully looked for signs saying Uttoxeter Road, but there aren't any.IMHO the names should be removed unless there is verifiable evidence of their existence. | |
| 9176234 by Robert Whittaker | 1 | 2016-01-17 16:50:47 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Robert, is "Bramble Hill Stopboards and Gap" really the name of a road or should this be a description, or is it not a highway at all?Cheers,Mike |
| 2 | 2016-01-17 18:45:37 UTC | Robert Whittaker | It's certainly a highway of some sort, as it allows access to the dunes/beach. I don't recall the surface, but it may be tarmaced. The name was taken from an official EA sign, so it is the official name of something -- perhaps of the gap in the dunes and the constructs in and around it, rather than ... | |
| 3 | 2016-01-17 18:46:44 UTC | Robert Whittaker | The way in question is http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/128403160 | |
| 4 | 2016-01-18 10:54:04 UTC | Mike Baggaley | I found a picture at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1016257 - it looks to me like the stopboards part at least should be in the description field as I assume this describes the wooden planks. | |
| 29915022 by abel801 | 1 | 2016-01-17 23:55:18 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, is Future Nocton Park Road the name of the road, or is it a road that will be named Nocton Park Road in the future? If the latter, I suggest changing the name to Nocton Park Road and setting highway=construction with construction=residential or highway=proposed. Cheers, Mike |
| 2 | 2016-01-19 15:23:24 UTC | abel801 | Hi Mike, I really don't known what is the real name, because I only use satellite imagery. | |
| 3 | 2016-01-19 16:30:15 UTC | SomeoneElse | Rather than guesing, might it be better to add an OSM note? The Bing imagery here shows no road at all. What information do you have that there is a road here (now, as opoosed to a proposed or under-construction one)? Did a customer of one of Mapbox's customers report it? | |

| 6 | 2016-02-25 21:40:29 UTC | samely | Message has been sent it to Lincoln Edge. If he answer to me, I'll share it. | |
| 7 | 2016-03-06 15:27:28 UTC | Lincoln Edge | It's open now, and it is called Nocton Park Road. | |
| 8 | 2016-03-21 14:29:28 UTC | samely | Thank you Lincoln Edge! | |
| 25075413 by Heverman | 1 | 2016-01-06 18:21:23 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, "Service Road To Hever Close" does not sound like a valid road name to me, more a description. I can't make sense of your explanation of the rename from Hughenden Close. If the road is signposted Hughenden Close, then that is the name that should be used, whether or not there are any h... |
| 2 | 2016-01-06 18:58:24 UTC | Heverman | I am only interested in Facts. The road was renamed by the Council as I have reported and the roadside sign changed accordingly. You can check with them. The reason, or your opinion on the name, doesnt matter to those who are delivering to residences on this estate. I think the whole concept of o... | |
| 34398998 by Sailor Steve | 1 | 2015-10-05 14:10:16 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi Steve, the name field of a peak (or anything else) should hold the proper noun by which it is known. I do not believe that TP, SP and BM are the names of peaks. If the peak does not have a name, the name field should be left blank.Regards,Mike |
| 2 | 2015-10-14 10:09:27 UTC | Sailor Steve | Hello Mike,Yes, I think you are right, but I was looking for a way to get unnamed elevations to appear on the standard OSM maps. This seems to be an anomaly because there are huge numbers of unnamed hills and mountains around the world but OSM mapping will not display the height unless there is... | |
| 31201905 by Pashley | 1 | 2015-08-28 17:31:23 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, it is not valid to put two names in the name field. If Quaker Way is an alternate name for Garden Street, please use alt_name or loc_name for it.Cheers,Mike |
| 28256547 by JustStupid | 1 | 2015-08-28 08:46:23 UTC | Mike Baggaley | HI, I do not believe numbers such as 864, 874 are valid road names. I would expect these numbers should be in the local_ref field ( as they are no national references).Regards,Mike |
| 33191328 by Maddog Battie | 1 | 2015-08-10 22:46:32 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, please note South West Coast Path is the name of a route, which is named on the relation, of which the various paths forming the route are members. It should not be used as the name of path segments as it is not the name of the individual paths. |
| 2 | 2015-08-11 11:43:03 UTC | Maddog Battie | Hi Mike,New to this so comments on what I'm doing wrong are welcome.The reason I'd added the name to the paths was:A) Because it wasn't showing up on the map and I see this as important. I've modified the section between Portloe and Porthpean as that is what I had a gpx file for. This now curr... | |
| 3 | 2015-08-11 12:42:03 UTC | SomeoneElse | Personally, I'd use http://waymarkedtrails.org/en/?zoom=12&lat=50.26969&lon=-4.78722&hill=0# for that... | |
| 4 | 2015-08-11 13:20:14 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, welcome to OSM. Tagging highways with the name of a route is a common mistake, and personally I think a little more in the way of guidelines should be provided to new members. One other common mistake with new members (me included) is not realising that when adding a highway, it needs to correct... | |
| 24764776 by Mauls | 1 | 2015-03-09 13:23:47 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Are you sure the name of the water at way 96215794 is Fish Pond? This seems more like a description. |
| 28884942 by Mike Baggaley | 1 | 2015-03-05 02:05:43 UTC | robert | Did you mean to switch the name= on Passmore Edwards Court to an addr:housename=? This has broken a match: http://ris.dev.openstreetmap.org/oslmusicalchairs/map?osl_id=907839 |
| 2 | 2015-03-06 00:17:25 UTC | Mike Baggaley | oops, I think it should be OK now | |
| 28629957 by OffTheChart | 1 | 2015-02-18 17:03:08 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, to mark a road as private, I believe you should set the tag access=private, rather than setting name=(private). The name field should only contain the name by which the road is nationally known, and if there is no such name, it should be empty.Regards,Mike |
| 2 | 2015-02-18 17:17:06 UTC | OffTheChart | Unless the map is rendered in everyone's interests (impossible!), I believe the private status is sometimes better spelled out for all to see as guidance. Otherwise it may encourage trespass. I realise this may be controversial :) | |
| 3 | 2015-02-18 18:18:43 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, roads tagged with access=private are clearly shown in pink in the standard OSM rendered map. Users extracting map data for their own purposes can also easily determine that a road is private and take appropriate action (e.g. don't allow routing along it in a GPS). This is not possible using a na... | |
| 4 | 2015-02-18 22:17:48 UTC | OffTheChart | Fine, change it if you like :) | |
| 28000283 by Pawelaa | 1 | 2015-01-13 14:59:38 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, can you check the drain, way number 320997262 added in this change? I can't see anything there in Bing (I'm not a local) - if this is a narrow channel, can you add area=no or if it is all water, please change to natural=water with water=drain instead of waterway=drain.Cheers,Mike |
| 28067813 by PmaiIkeey | 1 | 2015-01-12 10:54:42 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, this road should not be secondary. Please see http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Highway:International_equivalence for how A roads should be tagged. This is nothing to do with how big/busy the road is. All A roads should be either trunk or primary. Secondary roads should have B refs. This way ca... |
| 2 | 2015-01-12 20:00:25 UTC | PmaiIkeey | http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3DsecondaryAccurately fits the bill. Link to smaller town & not part of a major route.Whether another org. has classified it 'A', 'B', 'C' or anything else is immaterial.OSM should be a geographic map, not a neurographic one. OSM should ... | |
| 3 | 2015-01-12 22:59:52 UTC | Mike Baggaley | Hi, the description of a secondary road you reference is a generic page describing generally how they are classified. The reference I gave specifies how this general rule should be applied in the UK. I agree that there are quite a few roads in the UK that seem to be relatively minor and don’t ... | |
