The ramp at Dowlais heading on the A465 towards Y Fenni is two way traffic for a short length - why have you reverted this?
22025-01-24 15:24kitsee Hi,
The south west bound lane is never used for travel at it originates from no where and in practice is only used for lorries to park facing NE-bound or as a short cut for cars turning right out of the fuel station (which they shouldn't really do). This is just a remnant of the old heads when...

Just because barely anyone uses it in the other direction, it doesn't make it not oneway for a certain length. This situation occurs in many places, e.g. A74(M) J22, A303 West Amesbury, A34 East Ilsley, A55 J31 to name a few. Here it seems it was twoway to access a gate that has become abandone...
42025-01-24 15:48kitsee That's a fair argument however I would recommend holding off on changing this for now as the area in question along with the entire hill to the east of the fuel station is undergoing large scale land alterations and this slip road may change. To emphasize this, the gate you referenced no longes...

I believed this area was unchanged due to the flyover, but as you wish
62025-01-24 15:55kitsee They only started changing the hill after the flyover's completion, its been ongoing for a few weeks. i'm not sure what their goal is but they've had around 10 or 15 bulldozers and excavators just moving earth around up there.
72025-02-13 11:51kitsee I've updated the junction, they only changed the road markings slightly, the west-bound lane now starts at the entrance to the fuel station. the rest has been hatched out.

12025-01-24 01:28kitsee Reason for high number of deletions:
This grid was the first mapped for this project. at the time all overlapping cables were mapped as separate ways. overlapping ways are now grouped into a single way utilising circuits tag and power=circuit relations.

Many ways also had excessive amount of n...

I don't think this is the best way to tag this. Either maxspeed:variable or maxspeed:conditional, not both. Also, maxspeed:type relates to default speed limit, so should be GB:nsl_single if default is still 60.
22025-01-11 19:31kitsee ok i've just fixed it

Hi - in this changeset you appear to have removed the new route of NCN 46 north of Beaufort and Brynmawr, close to the Heads of the Valleys Road. I cycled this the other year and it was signposted as NCN 46 throughout. Could you reinstate it?
22024-12-17 15:20kitsee Hi there, i surveyed the cycle paths here before making the changeset on request of SomeoneElse. I could not find any signage for the north stretch when I surveyed it with the only exception being on this roundabout which I've concluded is prob a leftover sign. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way...

♦220
That's weird - yes, certainly there was signage at that roundabout and continuing east, but also further along: I took a couple of photos of the signage east of Garnlydan. https://imgur.com/a/czocdcI

I do remember it being missing on the path through the residential area at Rassau and on the...
42024-12-17 15:41kitsee I will admit I only surveyed the entrances to the path as I was on a motorbike at the time. Had a nose at OS maps, they have it marked as a link route rather than a full one. Next dry day we have i'll take a walk up there with the dog to make sure.

♦220
Excellent, will be interested to see what you find out. Legalities aside I wouldn't trust OS maps on the NCN - OSM is famously more accurate than Sustrans' own data as to where the NCN is actually signposted ;)
62024-12-23 15:39kitsee So I walked the stretch between Garnlydan and Brynmawr today and its odd. There are signs on nearly all the minor forks on the path but the signs are missing for all the major forks. there's even no signage at the east end nor at the ramp from the B4560 where I entered the path.

There is als...

Great - thank you for the survey! I think mapping it as a separate link route is fine for now.

I'm 99% sure that it's a "future route" rather than a "meant to be removed route" though. Sustrans' direction of travel is very much towards traffic-free paths rather ...
82024-12-23 18:18kitsee Thats a fair argument, i've gone through some recent historic satellite imagery now and i agree, a lot of what i just walked on is less then 10 years old so this makes more sense.

It does seem like a rather large oversight that they didn't build anything to span that gap when rebuildin...

Hello,
Somewhere through the maze around he Heads of the Valleys, there's a signed cycle route, NCN 46: http://ra.osmsurround.org/analyzeMap?relationId=173236 . However, as you can see from that it's not been updated since the recent construction. I wonder if you've seen any signag...
22024-10-28 23:22kitsee Hi Andy,
I've corrected the small error in bryn bach park. I must have forgot to delete it when moving the cycle path to the footway.
I have been keeping an eye on it as part of keeping the A465 updated between hirwaun and merthyr. I didn't notice the issues further east.

The Hirwau...

A48 is not a Trunk Road. The only sections of Trunk Road in Cardiff are the A48(M) and the A4232 between Culverhouse Cross and the M4. You can see a map from Welsh Government of official Trunk Roads here https://datamap.gov.wales/layers/geonode:Network_1003211
22024-09-09 22:08kitsee Yes you are correct it is not a trunk road but it is a "Primary A Road" and Primary A Roads are tagged as trunk roads in OSM. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Roads_in_the_United_Kingdom
32024-09-10 11:45kitsee To clarify, in the UK a trunk road is defined as a road own and operated by the national government rather than the local government. On OSM, a trunk road is defined the highest performance road that is not a motorway. under the UK road classification system this means that a OSM trunk road is a UK ...

Please check these objects. They all got a strange tag "srcName", that looks like it shouldn't be in OSM.
22024-07-27 15:34kitsee ye sorry, I saw it while I was adding them but forgot to fix it before committing. i'll fix it asap.

You messed up some voltages and circuit tag on a few line segments. Line between Coventry and Ratcliffe is a 275kV that shares towers with a couple of 400kV lines.

I've already tagged the segments back to correct value.
22024-07-17 20:31Gazer75
♦288
Looking at more of these changes you've removed the proper voltage tags on several lines that has mixed 400kV and 275kV

I've fixed all the errors I could find around Birmingham. Please don't modify values unless you know what you're doing. Ask previous person if unsure.
42024-07-17 23:23kitsee I do apologise, I was rushing and made a bad assumption since I've never seen mixed voltage pylons. In hindsight I'm not sure why I change the voltages, should have tagged the ref and left the rest alone. Thanks for fixing it.

♦288
They can happen in some places. For the "ring" around Birmingham it's historical. Several substations used to have 275kV switchgear and as they get upgraded they have to mix. Several substations are still 275kV in Birmingham.
You can see how it all connects on Openinframap
