Hi Andy, thanks for asking — that tag is our mistake. "Citypedia" is the name of our app (the same one identified in created_by), not a data source. The edit comes from an app user correcting the place from local knowledge, and the place data shown in the app is OpenStreetMap itself ...

Is there really a gap in the Ayrshire Coastal Path at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1756394#map=19/55.432354/-4.713113 (perhaps a rockfall or something)?

This is an oversight that has arisen from the decoupling of the beach points to create two distinct beach areas, one of which bears the name Brackenbrae Bay. This has led to a disconnection of the coastal route, which is unintended. I will rectify this immediately.

It is true that most mappers nowadays do not glue landuse to roads. But is it strictly forbidden and incorrect or just not recommended? I usually try to map so that the landuse overlaps the road if the same landuse continues on the other side.

Hi, could you please explain why?

My understanding is that these are descriptions given by National Grid and rarely (if ever) used in the real world. official_name gives this context.

Alright, understood.
I often exploit the Strava Global Heatmap to fix the location of trails I know, or to add some.
I get to know those trails through MTB rides or hikes, I do not go there specifically for mapping purposes: that is why I edit features located in different areas in the same change...

There is no point in creating cycleways that end with no means for a person to cycle back onto the highway. Banning cycling in changesets like this renders those cycleways completely useless to navigation software.

Furthermore, adding "dismount" is incorrect and discriminatory, since s...

I would also add that there is no justification whatsoever for cycling=no at any highway crossing. Cyclists have a common law right to use the highway and crossings are on the highway. Making them inaccessible is legally wrong and I will always remove those tags when I find them.
