Do you think the street names or numbers you removed were incorrect?
Some of them were set by me using Street Complete, ie on the ground survey. It's possible they are wrong if you have better information
22025-11-26 23:44rskedgell I'm pretty sure that I haven't removed any numbers. Happy to revert any street name changes lost from your SC changeset, I'll do it tomorrow.

The footways appear to be have names from OS Open Names, although as they don't have USRNs, it's hard to tell the extent.

My apologies - I had added Austin Crescent to other buildings without an addr:street=* set in that block, then realised that it wasn't a safe assumption. The houses on Barcote Walk shouldn't have been included in that.

EneaSuper, The land is owned by the USA (US Government), but is not US territory.

The video is wrong, and is part of a growing problem Youtube has with fake information videos. The voice is AI generated.

52025-11-08 22:42rskedgell The addr:* tags refer to the *actual* address of the object, not that of its owner or operator. There is the abandoned contact:addr:*

Feel free to add those tags, together with appropriate wikidata links, if you have an OSM-compatible source for the information.
62025-11-08 22:59rskedgell Also, please note that I attempted to contact the user who added the incorrect address and waited 3 weeks for a response before reverting the changeset.

Where you've added the parking zone tag (like in this changeset) should there always be a parking:[side]=* value? (Likely streetside). Take way 1432750640, for example - it has a parking zone tag, but nothing to say there is parking actually present.
22025-10-23 12:55rskedgell I think parking:$side:zone probably does have a place even where other parking tags haven't (yet) been set.

Firstly, there's a traffic order which includes that street in a CPZ, which is the only tag we currently have for it. Maybe a relation would be better, but none has yet been prop...

It does make sense that a street is in a parking zone, whether or not there is somewhere to park on it. It might also be a good survey prompt. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Thank you for your helpful work improving the map.

I notice you have tagged two ways for Briscoe Lane in this change as "sidewalk:both:surface=traffic_island" which seems odd as "traffic_island" seems like a confusing value for a "surface" to me.

Hi rskedgell,

Rule 1 in the "Rules for pedestrians" section of the UK's Highway Code states: "Pavements and footways (including any path along the side of a road) should be used if provided."

Hi Robert,
Is there a place I can look up what the waymap-project is?
I have been creating "unmarked crossings" in my local area in order to record the presence (or absence) of tactile paving and drop kerbs/flush crossings. I like the idea of OSM being able to help create pedestrian rout...
22024-08-31 10:15rskedgell Hi Milhouse,

I add quite a lot of separate sidewalks and detailed crossings, because I also want effective routing for pedestrians and those with visual or mobility impairments.

The crossing tags I deleted were adding by inactive user @alisonlung (see https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/...

This is an example of a side road crossing I added. I think it gives enough information to a pedestrian router and in an imaginary situation (?) where you could tell a router "I'm in a wheelchair" it could slightly alter routes to avoid places where there are high kerbs.

Have you found the Überterracer plugin for JOSM? It can take a rectangular terrace object and convert it into an numbered set of L-shaped houses in one-or-two clicks. Asking because I only found it this month, and it would be super-useful for what you're doing in this area.
22024-07-08 13:23rskedgell I saw you mentioned it on another changeset and meant to download it. Thanks for the reminder - I've downloaded it and will give it a go shortly.

I always have to think quite hard about this one when it pops up on StreetComplete. Like you've done here, I say "No" if the ramp is mapped separately.
22021-01-28 19:44rskedgell Yes, it could be worded it little better in the app to give ramp=separate as a more obvious option when there are nearby short ways with highway=cycleway|footway + incline=*

In case it helps you figure out what went wrong - it looked like some of the building:parts got reduced to lines... as if all their nodes were selected, and then the 'L' key was hit to make them all conform to a straight line. In a few other cases groups of nodes got snapped together.
