This really interesting (if you can excuse my enthusiasm). It seems that that UPRN was at the end of the road, but has then been moved. I added it manually when it was at the junction between "Huntington Road" and "Brandsby Grove". It seems to be located there now, in the latest ...

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.

It would probably be less problematic just to have Ulster Way as a separate relation, rather than a parent of all the segments. And so a bit of the Newry Canal Way which was also part of the Ulster Way would have a tag for each.

#DataImport

Hi, welcome to OSM!

With this changeset, you've added a significant number of features that appear to share similarities in their tags. Could you please let us know more about the source of your mapping activity? Is this a data import?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi!
I used signs that I found on bing streetside indicating a weight limit of 7.5 along with an exception for access. One set of two signs can be found about right where Ince Lane meets Ash Road, and the other is very slightly down Ince Lane where Orchard Park Lane meets it. Hope that explains it!...
32025-05-30 16:46SomeoneElse Thanks - are these technically maxweight or maxweightrating?

The latter is probably the more common (designed to keep hgvs off some roads, whether loaded or not), but the former also occurs (e.g. on weak bridges - where you also see axle limits).

Perhaps the more "correct" tag would be maxweightrating, however, before we (OptimoRoute*) started mapping in the UK we looked into how it's been done so far - and generally from what we saw mappers up until now used maxweight for the vast majority of signs, while reserving maxweightr...

När det rör sig om flera barriers på platsen och uppgift om avstånd dem emellan finns ger det ingen som helst mening att rita barrier som nod, men desto mera att rita barrier som way.

"barrier=block" absolutely can be on a way rather than a node. Have a look at https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/barrier=block - as you can see, there are 1000s of them mapped that way already.

Hej SomeoneElse, thank you for your feedback.

There is nothing unusual or special at all with this blockage or with this road. Routing with barrier-ways works beautifully with routing-servers on osm.org, thats why people use barrier-ways. Just test it and see for yourself and don't spread fakes (or are you refering to your own routing-ser...

@archie I suggest reading the wiki, "Rendering of a map is the process of making a visual image on the basis of raw geospatial data and tags. ". A router is not a renderer. Just read it and see for yourself and don't spread fakes.

♦85
Indeed, some of the iD fixes are problematic, I have contributed some fixes in the past to the iD repository but other ones, such as the misspeling of "Göteborgs Stad" still need to be fixed. I generally only resolve obvious fixes to places I have already been.
212025-05-24 10:11SomeoneElse (with regard to the wiki) that's supposed to document how people map, not tell people how to map.
There are many, many wiki pages that contradict other wiki pages.
It's a useful guide, but all it tells you is that "the last person that edited that page thought X".

Thanks for spotting that. Yes, Vespucci is prone to auto-including tags from a totally separate earlier edit.

There seems to be a bit of an odd spur on a few route relations at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1832946#map=19/51.626375/-1.013466 . Is that a mistake and do they all go to the south, or is there a bit through the field missing?

Hi Mateusz,

A few reasons for splitting the road at a direction change are navigation and a better representation of the roads by improving the geometry. Additionally, It is very common for road names to change when the road has a large shift in cardinal direction.

Why it would improve navigation?

How it improves geometry?

(and yes, if name changes it should be split but because name changes not due to a sharp turn)

Note that this one is spelled "Spital-lands" https://www.logainm.ie/en/13749

"Spital" is short for "Hospital".

I'm reverting this. Please go and discuss stuff like this before making drastic changes. You cant just stroll into an area and force your standards upon everyone else. This is getting silly. if you haven't noticed I've micro mapped this entire town in high detail. There are 4 islands ...

You are being incredibly rude, obstructive, and hypocritical, speaking of myself "forcing your standards" on an area, and then forcing your own "standards" yourself just because (I presume) you live here. You do not own any part of the map, as do I. And no, this road should not b...

You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. I am forcing my standard on this area because 80%+ of the mapping in a 2-3 miles radius around this changeset is my work so my work forms the standard of this area and I will admit I'm rather protective of it. Please understand from my prospecti...
42024-12-17 18:07SomeoneElse It'd be greater to see a wider discussion about this, perhaps in the UK part of the forum c.osm.org?
Are there photos available along this length (e.g. from Mapillary)?

12024-12-17 15:34SomeoneElse Hello,
Just to let you know, I think that this edit might have introduced a gap in the "Dedham Vale National Landscape" relation https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9336585 . I've filled in the gap in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/160305838 .
Best Regards,

Hey

That was inadvertent!

I did think I checked it, but obviously not!

Cheers

Here you've re-added a "highway-path" tag back to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/550162526/history which I'd marked as "note=Still nothing on this alignment" in the hope that that would stop someone re-adding it from some old imagery?

I wonder if you have any idea how the "Way of Learning" relation connects to the coast? There's a gap in it at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/11597074#map=18/54.912007/-1.375525 .

Thanks for asking -I was trying to remove mixed values so either "dirt" or "sand" could work. I was told its often better to clear ambiguous values so other could complete.
Do multiple values work? I was trying to follow the guidance for surface area and it wasn't clear i...
32024-12-09 12:18SomeoneElse If the surface here is "mostly mud" then I'd probably have gone with "surface=mud" (and "sand" for "mostly sand" nearby).
If mutiple values are needed, then senicolons are usually used as separators.
Data consumers have the choice whether to use the who...

Thanks, that is useful - I wasn't aware of taginfo.osm.org.

I'm happy to change the values for this area and now feel it may be best just to retain the previous value (I assume if there is a mix, then put the primary item first so the various apps can take that as the single value if th...
52024-12-09 13:28SomeoneElse The previous value was a bit odd (comma rather than a semicolon) and so needed changing to something.
What is the actual correct value probably depends on survey local knowledge or really good photos.

12024-12-07 13:45SomeoneElse This section removed some dupicate abandoned railway that now forms Nidderdale Greenway.
Most of the western section of Nidderdale Greenway is clearly exactly on the old railway alignment and was more accurate than the duplicate former railway that had been added from some iffy old map.
