| 178856776 by rskedgell @ 2026-02-21 12:29 ~ 18 days ago | 1 | ~ 11 days ago | mueschel ♦6,949 | Hi,what does 'phv' mean? This looks like a spelling mistake. |
| 2 | ~ 10 days ago | rskedgell | PHV = Private Hire Vehicle, in this case explicitly signed as an exception to the prohibition of motor vehicles at the Horse Market end of Gold Street. It's similar to a taxi, but legally distinct with the most important difference being that it must be pre-booked and cannot use taxi ranks or b... | |
| 3 | ~ 10 days ago | mueschel ♦6,949 | Wouldn't that be https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/rideshare ? | |
| 4 | ~ 10 days ago | rskedgell | It looks like a similar idea in terms of access differences, but I'm not sure how well the US-centric rideshare=* maps to UK PHVs. It seems a strange and counterintuitive term anyway, as there's generally no sharing involved in hiring a PHV (and in the UK, whether they are a subset of psv=... | |
| 5 | ~ 10 days ago | mueschel ♦6,949 | There has been a longer discussion in the forums some months ago, maybe you can continue this.IMHO it's the right tag here.I agree that "rideshare" is a strange term, but unfortunately this is what they are called in many places around the world. | |
| 177154399 by rskedgell @ 2026-01-12 20:43 ~ 1 month ago | 1 | ~ 23 days ago | RedAuburn ♦227 | careful! you changed the name of blackheath to "the point" - fixed now though: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/178641039 |
| 2 | ~ 23 days ago | rskedgell | Damn, sorry - and thanks for fixing it!There seemed to be some entangled multipolygons around there, but I should have been a bit more careful with which one I changed. | |
| 176112720 by rskedgell @ 2025-12-18 20:41 ~ 2 months ago | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | Wynndale ♦58 | Generating addr:city from local authority names is offered as an option in iD. |
| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | rskedgell | Oh, joy. In other words, is_in=* is dead, long live is_in=* ?I'm sure that works very well in more sensible countries where the postal and administrative boundaries align. It would certainly make life easier for the Nominatim maintainers if it worked in the UK. | |
| 176016857 by rskedgell @ 2025-12-16 17:36 ~ 2 months ago | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | amosharper ♦44 | Thanks for catching this, should have double-checked it when making my changes earlier. |
| 175073837 by rskedgell @ 2025-11-24 16:04 ~ 3 months ago | 1 | ~ 3 months ago | RaccoonFederation ♦97 | 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 |
| 2 | ~ 3 months ago | rskedgell | 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. | |
| 3 | ~ 3 months ago | rskedgell | Fixed in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/175176162My 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. | |

| 2 | ~ 1 year ago | JassKurn ♦168 | 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. | |
| 3 | ~ 1 year ago | EneaSuper ♦478 | I thought it was bullshit. Thanks a lot for the clarification ❤️ | |
| 4 | ~ 4 months ago | falcon2 ♦2 | Possibly this should be reverted. Here's a not AI slop video that seems decently researched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQOZUaSoy90 | |
| 5 | ~ 4 months ago | rskedgell | 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. | |
| 6 | ~ 4 months ago | rskedgell | 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.https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/157041429 | |

| 2 | ~ 4 months ago | SomeoneElse ♦13,689 | Any idea what https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/13179298428/history is? It does not seem connected to anything. | |

| 172486440 by rskedgell @ 2025-09-26 13:34 ~ 5 months ago | 1 | ~ 4 months ago | spiregrain ♦227 | 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. |
| 2 | ~ 4 months ago | rskedgell | 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... | |
| 3 | ~ 4 months ago | spiregrain ♦227 | 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. | |
| 4 | ~ 4 months ago | rskedgell | This is the sort of thing where I really should write an OSM diary entry describing what I'm doing and why! When I start adding the actual restrictions, I'll write something. | |

| 2 | ~ 6 months ago | rskedgell | I'd be happier if my team's stadium kept its original name, too. Unfortunately, what is displayed in fixture lists is the official name. If you're confident that Nominatim recognises official_name=*, feel free to revert this. | |

| 2 | ~ 7 months ago | rskedgell | The wiki page foe foot=use_sidepath clearly said, even before the edit you quote "In some countries it is illegal for pedestrians to use a road if a parallel compulsory sidepath exists."This situation never arises in the UK.Anything in the Highway Code with "should" or &q... | |
| 3 | ~ 7 months ago | rskedgell | For a discussion about the frequently incorrect addition of foot=no through a StreetComplete quest which is now disabled in the UK, see:https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/poll-should-streetcomplete-disable-the-are-pedestrians-forbidden-to-walk-on-this-road-without-sidewalk-here-quest-in-the-uk/... | |
| 4 | ~ 7 months ago | CJJ2501 ♦24 | As I understand it, the foot=use_sidepath tag exactly reflects that they still have that right, just that using the sidewalk/pavement is preferred, as stated by the official guidance document from the national government.The foot=no tag is for cases where it is illegal for pedestrians to use a r... | |
| 5 | ~ 7 months ago | rskedgell | You did add a very small number foot=no tags, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/184658172/history/9You may also infer the UK mapping community's general attitude to foot=use_sidepath from the fact that there are only 72 instances of that tag in the UK, 10% of which are on nodes (no ide... | |

| 2 | ~ 1 year ago | rskedgell | Thanks, and apologies for missing it.I've got at least two bus route relations to repair as well. The mapper who introduced all the pretend dual carriageways created a few gaps, which I'm afraid I've added to. | |

| 2 | ~ 2 years ago | rskedgell | That was an odd one. USRN 8100895 (Numbered Street record, presumably A3211) only extends up the southbound carriageway between the service road under The Mermaid and Upper Thames Street, but covers all of the other carriageway.Possibly better to map it all as highway=primary, but without adding... | |
| 3 | ~ 2 years ago | MacLondon ♦233 | It might be related to the Tideways works, as the current (long-term diversion) two-way cycle link between C3 and C6 resulted in the sliproad from Victoria Embankment becoming exit only... until the previous layout gets restored. | |
| 4 | ~ 1 year ago | Vas111 ♦90 | I will restore primary status to both carriageways on Puddle Dock; regardless of the official status, it connects two primary roads and right turns from QVS are allowed southbound.

| 2 | ~ 1 year ago | rskedgell | 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/... | |

| 4 | ~ 1 year ago | Milhouse ♦28 | This is an example of a side road crossing I added.

It can take a rectangular terrace object and convert it into an numbered set of L-shaped houses in one-or-two clicks.

According to the wiki to map a turning lane as a *_link, it should be "physically separated by an obstruction." |

| 2 | ~ 3 years ago | rskedgell | Unlikely in the near future, as other area:highway polygons don't get rendered in OSM Carto.

| 97904800 by rskedgell @ 2021-01-21 12:20 ~ 5 years ago | 1 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | You're on fire this week! |
| 2 | ~ 5 years ago | rskedgell | Thanks to a complaining foot preventing me from running, I've been doing a lot more local walking and StreetComplete, plus trying to clear up local notes and Osmose issues. It's a pity the notes in Chobham Manor are anonymous, as being able to communicate would have been quite useful. | |
| 3 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | Chobham Manor guy is very chatty and determined. Potentially a good recruit, but I doubt he/she can even see responses to notes - certainly without an account there will be no notification. | |
| 95757754 by rskedgell @ 2020-12-13 14:47 ~ 5 years ago | 1 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | Are you sure this carpark is underground? Most of the east village car parks (esp. the athlete's village conversations) are ground floor, with the the gardens on their roofs.--- |
| 2 | ~ 5 years ago | rskedgell | Good point. There doesn't really seem to be a common value for the parking tag which covers it, but I'll remove underground. | |
| 3 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | They have the vibe of a multistorey, but with only one storey! | |
| 94763745 by rskedgell @ 2020-11-25 09:55 ~ 5 years ago | 1 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | Bravo great stuff. Just wanted to check - is "Crataegus unk species" a valid haw species or a typo? It's on n8163965734 at least. |
| 2 | ~ 5 years ago | rskedgell | No, that's definitely something I should have checked before copying. Fixed in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/94771645 | |

| 88372000 by rskedgell @ 2020-07-22 23:44 ~ 5 years ago | 1 | ~ 5 years ago | Mike Baggaley ♦630 | Hi, on way 172192553, can you clarify whether the refs 453 and S115 are bridge refs (in which case they should be in bridge:ref) or right of way refs (in which case they should be in prow_ref), and why there are 2 refs?Thanks,Mike |
| 2 | ~ 5 years ago | rskedgell | Hi Mike,453 appears to be CRT's bridge reference, so I've moved it to bridge:ref. S115 appears to be a Lea Valley Regional Park ref (presumably for the bridge structure), which I have left in the ref tag.It's very unlikely to be a PROW ref, as this is a recently reopened permi... | |

I think this changeset has something to do with it please please have a look and consider reverting. Changeset 88094856 also relevant? The buildings involved... |
| 2 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | OK, tried it myself, with changeset 88181456 . I don't think I've borken anything you were working on here. Learned a lot about JOSM in the process! | |
| 3 | ~ 5 years ago | rskedgell | PLease accept my apologies for this. It's very odd, I wasn't trying to edit anything around Startford town centre and I have no idea quite how I managed to do it. I think the best thing for me to do here would be for me to fully revert 88181456, 88094856 and 88094856 to ensure that your 3D... | |
| 4 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | It's all sorted now - I was able to revert those two changesets, and then ONLY upload the Stratford nodes and objects. So phew! The changes you where trying to do should all be intact too.The complex part was figuring out which changesets caused the problem. It turns our object hi... | |
| 5 | ~ 5 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | 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. | |
| 6 | ~ 5 years ago | rskedgell | Thanks! I'm still perplexed as to how I managed to select nodes so far off-screen from where I was editing. I should probably restart JOSM and reload a more localised area of the map more often. | |

| 2 | ~ 6 years ago | rskedgell | It wouldn't surprise me. I'm planning to make another trip over to Feltham quite soon, mostly to shoot Mapillary images, but I'll try to visit the loci of as many notes as I can. | |
| 78037093 by rskedgell @ 2019-12-06 09:02 ~ 6 years ago | 1 | ~ 6 years ago | Slowboydickie ♦1 | Thanks for the comments. The routing software is Komoot. Komoot will not accept routes in a southerly direction on that footpath. Inspection of OSM showed an arrow on the footpath in a northerly direction. |
| 2 | ~ 6 years ago | rskedgell | I've had a little play with Komoot and I *think* it may be taking the scenic route because of the access=private tag on Yew Tree Road. I've added a note ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/2017947 ). If it hasn't been resolved by the next time I do Mole Valley parkrun, I'll take... | |
| 3 | ~ 6 years ago | Slowboydickie ♦1 | I will be going for a run today so I can take some photos. What in particular would you like? | |
| 4 | ~ 6 years ago | rskedgell | That's great, thanks!If there's any public footpath signage on Yew Tree Road, particularly at its junction with Ashcombe Road, then foot=designated could probably be added to that section.If you're local and there isn't any signage, but it is the route walkers "alway... | |

| 2 | ~ 6 years ago | rskedgell | It's hard to tell, so while adding a top level tag keeps Osmose happy, they may be good candidates for deletion. A web search for CISS brings up an email address which matches the name of a former director of a company at that address, so they probably were relevant when first mapped. The origi... | |
| 3 | ~ 6 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | That matches my memory precisely. I may have to walk down that spur of Carolina Close at some point; not this week though. | |

| 2 | ~ 6 years ago | highflyer74 ♦2,451 | PS same applies to heritage_operator=*. The usual operator=* would fit. | |
| 3 | ~ 6 years ago | rskedgell | Thank you for spotting that, he:operator=* should have been heritage:operator=*Assuming that you have read https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:heritage why do you think that operator=* would be more appropriate?

| 4 | ~ 6 years ago | highflyer74 ♦2,451 | Hi there! Thanks for your quick reply. Actually heritage:operator=* did not come to my mind, but you are right. It just popped up in one of the QA tools I use, but that of course was due to the typo. Thanks for fixing it! | |
| 65578872 by rskedgell @ 2018-12-18 12:01 ~ 7 years ago | 1 | ~ 7 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | Hi there. I used to work on the Athletes Vilalge/East Village site during the refurbishment process. (In 2013/14). In those days the northern boundary of the East Village was Honour Lea Avenue. The Chobham Manor stuff definitely counted as a separate development, which opened quite a lot late... |
| 2 | ~ 7 years ago | rskedgell | I've always thought of Chobham Manor as separate too, but didn't really want to touch the geometry of the place=neighbourhood way, just remove the landuse tag. It's probably worth splitting into separate neighbourhoods and perhaps adding others for the other residential developments a... | |
| 3 | ~ 7 years ago | rskedgell | Chobham Manor (bounded by Abercrombie Road, Temple Mills Lane, Honour Lea Avenue and Olympic Park Avenue) has now been split into a separate place=neighbourhood area from East Village. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/65637464 | |
| 4 | ~ 7 years ago | spiregrain ♦227 | Thanks Rob - that matches my mental model of the places. I had a quick look at the Newham planning portal map earlier, and they only seem to have Keirin Road from all the Chobham Manor roads. (Naturally, the LLDC planning portal doesn't have maps). So another win for OSM! | |

| 2 | ~ 7 years ago | rskedgell | No, I certainly did not mean to do that, presumably a rather careless fat finger error. Undeleted in changeset #62776397 | |

| 2 | ~ 7 years ago | rskedgell | Yes, I'm aware of that, the transient tags fhrs:rating and fhrs:inspectiondate have been removed from the 2 nodes in the changeset where they were included in error (4583062983 and 4583062985). Thanks for pointing this out. | |
