5202494 Category: Unknown	1	~ 1 day ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Brum Radio are also based here: https://brumradio.com/contact/
5195265 Category: Unknown	1	~ 6 days ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	I think dublab Internet Radio are based here at 1035. Is it actually a Works (either water or electrical or both) any more, and should their offices/spaces be added? (they're cool.) https://www.dublab.com/about https://www.dublab.com/img/dublab_front_with_logo.a10442f3.jpg (photo of the front of what I assume is this building) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublab
5107225 Category: Unknown	1	~ 2 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Former fancy burger joint now a hair/beauty place? Sorry for vagueness, noticed in passing. (Should check Studio E while we're at it)
	2	~ 1 month ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Got a closer look. Still a takeaway. Updated.
4802598 Category: unknown	1	~ 9 months ago	opened	Studley Wood GC	Bar/ Cafe Open to cyclists
	2	~ 9 months ago	closed	Studley Wood GC
	3	~ 9 months ago	reopened	Studley Wood GC
	4	~ 8 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Hi there. This is sort of on my patch, so I could update. Is there any identifiable building here for the cafe-bar? That's what we need for it to be mappable, but all I see in satellite is a hedge where this note is.
	5	~ 1 month ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	added. I've gathered some opening times too, will update later.
5113562 Category: StreetComplete	1	~ 2 months ago	opened	dodohjk ♦50	The last house number on the street is 49, and just next to it is 47. I believe the two houses are joint together effectively but I am not 100% sure via StreetComplete 62.0 Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/322568.jpg
	2	~ 2 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Thanks for the helpful photo! I've armchair-mapped it with the Cadastral Parcels layer and JOSM's Terracer extension, and the terrace justmade sense from 1 thru 49 when divided by the property boundaries. I've split it that way, and the updates whould be with you on the next update.
5111709 Category: Unknown	1	~ 2 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	This restaurant looks like it's getting refitted, and it's seemingly getting another new name in the process
5107224 Category: Unknown	1	~ 2 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Courtney Pianos is definitely closing down, or has done. Capelli's and Currydor looked closed too. (But today is between christmas and new year: best check all 3 properly in January to be certain of their status)
5107198 Category: StreetComplete	1	~ 2 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	4 new houses now surveyable in the space of 302 & 304 (I think) via StreetComplete 62.1 Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/321803.jpg
5020897 Category: Unknown	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	"Western end" of Cuckoo Lane close for 5 months, according to the Clarion: https://oxfordclarion.uk/clarion-weekly-24-october-2025/. Is that enough to mark it closed to foot? Not sure it it's here exactly, but it's to be closed "until 30 March for “repairs to improve accessibility”", and this section is on a big slope...
	2	~ 2 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Seems passable right now. There's a little bit of work going on at the place it forks, at the "woodland path" going down to Red Oak, but they've made a diversion.
	3	~ 2 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811
5081725 Category: Unknown	1	~ 3 months ago	opened	Mateusz Konieczny ♦37,380	https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/349633507/history has shop = builders_merchant shop=builders_merchant ? Is it https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=doityourself or https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=trade + https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:trade%3Dbuilding_supplies ? If not, how it differs?
	2	~ 2 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	More of a trade place, I think. Tags fixed.
5093100 Category: Unknown	1	~ 2 months ago	opened	extua ♦295	the spires restaurant here should be disambiguated from the one in Gloucester Green https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2392043906/history/6
	2	~ 2 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Yikes. I'll see what I can do. Good spot! So to document the situation, this one, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2392043906, is the cafe/bar visible in the photo at https://www.bestwestern.fr/en/hotel-Oxford-Best-Western-Linton-Lodge-Hotel-83647, and it seems to have always been positioned correctly for that purpose. However, it has data from the 99 Gloucester Green "The Spires" cafe mixed in, which is our https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/12050789742 and its owners' https://www.thespirescafe.com/. And our node for the 99GG one has always been where it is now for its year and a bit of existence. Just in case @ist410 is coming in from a tool or applying automated edits to a node cached by ID somewhere, I think I ought to delete and recreate the Linton Road one that's attracted the wrong edits, and make sure that the new one is clearly the one that's part of Linton Lodge somehow.
	3	~ 2 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	The nodes have the same FHRS ID currently, which is incorrect[^1], but it probably explains how the mistakes happened, given the breadth of the changesets. The same user has edited both, but more of the edits went to the wrong one (as predicted by sod's law). Maybe I needn't delete anything, just correct. [^1]: https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/268928/linton-lodge-hotel is not https://ratings.food.gov.uk/business/1497565/the-spires-cafe-oxfordshire
	4	~ 2 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Hopefully now fixed. Thanks!
4740767 Category: unknown	1	~ 10 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	This road (presumably all of it) is now designated as a School Street, according to the County Council website. In other words, there are now additional restrictions around school opening and closing times, which should be signposted by the road already. Need to find the road extents, then tag the relevant bits of road with the tags we decide on. See the main discussion thread at https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4671909 #OxonSchoolStreets2025
	2	~ 3 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Added. It is indeed just all of the road, for this one.
4740742 Category: unknown	1	~ 10 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	These are now designated as School Street(s), according to the County Council website. In other words, there are now additional restrictions around school opening and closing times, which should be signposted on the roads already. Need to find the road extents, then tag the relevant bits of road with the tags we decide on. See the main discussion thread at https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4671909 #OxonSchoolStreets2025
	2	~ 3 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Added. I had to fudge the distance from where the sign at Wootton Road is (190 yards = 173.7 m) because it was dark and I had to hurry in taking the photo. I hope the position is accurate.
5033950 Category: Unknown	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	gmar5 ♦569	Are there any shops/restaurants here?
	2	~ 3 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Age UK is still going, but not Greek Box, adj York-Place, which is for sale.
	3	~ 3 months ago	closed	gmar5 ♦569	Thanks. I've added Age UK. This building seems to have a bit of a messy micro-mapping of parts, but they can stay for now.

	2	~ 3 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	It basically starts at the crossing. Times as shown in photo. Pretty sure it covers all the roads beyond this point, will update note if not. Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/318532.jpg https://streetcomplete.app/p/318533.jpg
	3	~ 3 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811

	6	~ 3 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Added now.
5010382 Category: Unknown	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Overlong steps. Needs a proper GPS survey to fix.
	2	~ 3 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Fixing now
	3	~ 3 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811
5010381 Category: Unknown	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Steps here, but not for the fill length of the path. Needs a proper GPS survey to fix.
	2	~ 3 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Fixed, or will be shortly.
	3	~ 3 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811
4674748 Category: unknown	1	~ 11 months ago	opened	gmar5 ♦569	Refurbishing work has started in preparation for Waterstones moving in (from its current location Broad St)
	2	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	work still in progress as of the end of this week
	3	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	still in progress
	4	~ 4 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Opening 25th November, according to the Clarion: https://oxfordclarion.uk/clarion-weekly-31-october-ghost-edition/
	5	~ 3 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Now pushed back to Thursday 27 Nov: https://oxfordclarion.uk/the-clarion-25-november-2025/
	6	~ 3 months ago	closed	gmar5 ♦569	Now open -- and mapped. More detailed tags can be added later.
5041434 Category: StreetComplete	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	samon53 ♦1,082	Information board Picture via StreetComplete 61.3 Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/314899.jpg
	2	~ 4 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Node looks good to me. Closing like https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/5041433
5041433 Category: StreetComplete	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	samon53 ♦1,082	Information board Picture via StreetComplete 61.3 Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/314898.jpg
	2	~ 4 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	I think there's enough info on the two information board nodes now to cover this. OSM objects aren't supposed to be a place to record every word really, just the title/name. The OSM object looks good to me, so I'll mark this note as resolved now. Photos on Notes disappear some weeks after their Note is marked resolved, so please consider them as transient aids to mapping. If you really want to preserve this image, consider uploading it to Wikimedia Commons and linking it on the object. → https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:image → https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikimedia_commons Some people like to link into Wikidata for some OSM objects too, and from there to everything else. Normally I think that's too much, though. → https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata
5041366 Category: StreetComplete	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	samon53 ♦1,082	Street cabinet art via StreetComplete 61.3 Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/314894.jpg https://streetcomplete.app/p/314895.jpg
	2	~ 4 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Here's the artist's Cara and home page: https://cara.app/basuero/all https://elbasuero.com/. I've seen the monk and pope rats elsewhere in Oxford, as stickers. This one in particular is of St Augustine: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7AM87o-tv/. The frame's nice!
	3	~ 3 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	This isn't a comment against the art or the artist, but is it significant enough to be mapped as "tourism=artwork"?
	4	~ 3 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	It looks quite ephemeral to me, I probably wouldn't.
5015381 Category: Unknown	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	North Oxford golf club to close and be redeveloped as housing in late October 2025 (h/t to the Oxford Clarion again!) https://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/25427673.oxford-university-plans-build-new-homes-golf-club/ Submissions to Cherwell District council show the redevelopment covering the entire area: https://www.cherwell.gov.uk/site-search/results/?q=PR6b The wider aspects of the Cherwell Local Plan 2011-2031 are summarised in the first result, "PR6b Land West of Oxford Road Development Brief Cherwell District Council August 2022", and that's well worth a look too. However, this OSM note is just about the immediate aspects of the golf club being shuttered soon: "disused:" prefixes for all the buildings, holes and fairways, I guess. Won't be a building site for a bit, I imagine.
5010361 Category: Spam	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Address interpolations cannot run along the outside of a building, and these addresses will not work correctly. These need an interpolation way instead, leading from somewhere near the main entrance to "inside", away from the main entrance to convey corect meaning, if we can't go inside and find where all the corridors and staircases really are :) Separate stairway-exclusive address ranges work similarly, if there's an external door to the siaircase. See Cooper House and Marina House for how it's supposed to be done. Since these are street addresses, not flat addresses, the house name is unneccessary for the address. The only alternatives is addr:place and addr:parentstreet, but that's very counterintuitive. It is sufficient if all the addresses as interpolated are within the building outline. addr:housename has the same level of meaning as addr:housenumber. It is not subordinate.
	2	~ 4 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	The wiki at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Addresses#Interpolation says: > Some mappers use addr:interpolation=* on a single object to indicate that its addr:housenumber=* is to be treated as a range rather than an atomic label (discussed above). There is not a consensus on whether this is appropriate. I am one of those mappers. The interpolation tag on the same object as the number range is clean and makes perfect logical sense. Since there is no consensus and both methods are documented, I don't think we can say that it "cannot go" there or how it is "supposed to be done". Creating a fictional interpolation segment, where numbers are in fact not between the two physical locations, looks like tagging for the renderer (or search engine) in my opinion. If the search engine cannot find an address, it is a problem of the engine, not necessarily of the tagging method. On your second point, addresses here look like this: FLAT 2, COOPER HOUSE, WILLIAM MORRIS CLOSE, OXFORD, OX4 2DE It happens that the flat numbers also seem to follow the street numeration, so addr:housenumber might be more useful than addr:flats, but in any case the building name should be part of the address, and addr:housename seems more appropriate and intuitive than addr:parentstreet.
5006056 Category: Unknown	1	~ 4 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Shops "practical completion anticipated January 2026", according to https://www.vailwilliams.com/property/barton-park-oxford/. So assume more access behind by then, and shops soon thereafter. Revisit in the new year, I guess?
4935737 Category: Unknown	1	~ 6 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Check: does this link and building entrance exist any more? From memory, it would seem to pass through the back half of M&S.
	2	~ 5 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Nope, was an error due to the service entrance (which does exist, but is just M&S employees). Fixed.
	3	~ 5 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811
4986474 Category: Unknown	1	~ 5 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	footpaths and turning/delivery space down the front of IDRM and Boundary Brook House need adding. They usefully link up Old Road and Roosevelt Drive for pedestrians and cyclists now that the shared track near the GHB site is heavily restricted.
4986339 Category: Unknown	1	~ 5 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	There is a new public artwork scattered around Oxford North now, in 8 parts: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPOp3rQj9ek/ "Your planetary assembly", 2025, by (Studio) Olafur Eliasson. Marker position approximate, of course. "Eight glass polyhedrons spread across Fallaize Park [that] invite you to gather, talk, spend time, and share space with one another", says the Instagram post. So presumably the site is now publicly accessible on foot from at least one of the two surrounding urban motorways that have bike tracks? Have to check. (h/t @proseandpassion@mastodon.social)
4852776 Category: unknown	1	~ 8 months ago	opened	gmar5 ♦569	Opening in Sep/Oct 2025.

	3	~ 5 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811
4887806 Category: unknown	1	~ 7 months ago	opened	---	Is the restaurant still open? The website is active, but the opening hours always show 'closed'.
	2	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	The website seems to have properly closed now. It just redirects to https://juhis-restaurant.co.uk/closed Uber Eats and Deliveroo tell me it's open at 5. It could be that this is how they're trading now, but you'd expect a website too. Needs a site visit really, but I'll remove the website address.
	3	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	asked the proprietor. Juhi are a dark kitchen doing delivery only, mostly, renting space from the pub landlords, and also providing pub grub on a separate menu page inside the pub as well as the Indian food for anyone wanting a meal, sold to the customers at the bar. They have a lot of signage outside, but no food told of their own inside.
	4	~ 6 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Updated with correct info.

4923449 Category: unknown	1	~ 6 months ago	opened	---	these are more like a golf course and tennis/basketball courts
	2	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	They re-did the area earlier this year, including the cafe, and it's now open again. It could do with a site visit to check new usage and facilities.
	3	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Updated

4837800 Category: unknown	1	~ 8 months ago	opened	gmar5 ♦569	Ongoing construction for a new "work café" inside the Santander branch.
	2	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	It's going to be some sort of combination bank, co-working space, and cafe apparently. Still behind hoardings though, tonight. Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/299689.jpg
	3	~ 3 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	From a quick glance, this looked finished. Probably opening soon, if it isn't already.
	4	~ 3 months ago	closed	gmar5 ♦569	Added
4907823 Category: unknown	1	~ 7 months ago	opened	gmar5 ♦569	This sculpture is not here any more. But maybe it has been relocated elsewhere in the area?
	2	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Definitely a sculpture here today though, and it looks this one: http://extantdesign.com/images/commissions/inspire2.html. No verifiable label on the thing itself, but it probably it's called Inspire Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/299685.jpg https://streetcomplete.app/p/299686.jpg

	5	~ 6 months ago	closed	gmar5 ♦569	Sorry, I got confused with the wrong courtyard (and funnily, I also checked the sculpture today!). Yes, the details are correct. Thanks.
4904393 Category: unknown	1	~ 7 months ago	opened	gmar5 ♦569	Need to check the shop at 97
	2	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	It's a gift shop named Oxford Memories. No opening hours visible. Will add. Attached photo(s): https://streetcomplete.app/p/299684.jpg

2612202	1	~ 4 years ago	opened	rising-mistake	I'm not sure if the paths around the north, east, and south of this field are publicly accessible - there is certainly no right of way but there may be a permissive footpath. The west side is a right of way.
	2	~ 6 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	They're accessible, and used to the extent that the grass is trodden. I've been able to walk all the way around Carrot Hill this evening. Also there's a bird hide or shooting stand at the edge of a coppiced depression, facing onto what is currently a stubble field. I'll add it separately. Not much in the way of "private land" signage, as there is elsewhere on this land, the idea is you follow the telegraph wires at the fork (!) I think we should go with private footpath tagging.

4913715 Category: unknown	1	~ 6 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Check numbering here. Apparently, Shepherd & Woodward is strictly just 109 & 110 High Street (one on each door), and the varsity shop right next door is 113 High Street. There is no 111 and 112, and there's a history behind that: https://morrisoxford.co.uk/hidden-in-plain-sight/ "The Mystery of the Missing Numbers"
	2	~ 6 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	There's just enough of the numbers visible under zoom in Streetside imagery alongside Bing to confirm this unusual numbering. Updated.
4913540 Category: unknown	1	~ 6 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	An "improved" (but longer) walkway under the rail bridge will be opening here at the end of August, routing pedestrians and dismounted cyclists north onto Roger Dudman Way, then back to Botley Road via Cripley Road. https://oxfordclarion.uk/clarion-weekly-15-august-2025/#walking-and-cycling

Pro: - they distribute village traffic to the more major roads, library, and schools - route to the Victoria Arms for visitors - a bus route - certainly a bit more than just residential minor roads Cons: - still quite narrow - no centre line (but many far clearer tertiaries within Oxford don't have them either) - restricted to destination only (unless you're a bus) Potential consequences: Probably Old Marston Road in New Marston is tertiary too, if these are.

I've demoted it to 53, but the numbering might need checking. [for info and to save me the bother of remembering it in future]: Based on the Mogridge Drive numbering, these are street addresses ('addr:housenumber') that just happen to be physically inside an apartment block. That means the building name does not form part of the address: they can't each individually be "Russet House", that's a separate object. If they were 'addr:unit's, things would be different, but they aren't. 'addr:interpolation' cannot interpolate 'addr:unit' or 'addr:flats', just 'addr:housenumber' nodes on the end, such a pain.

4815204 Category: unknown	1	~ 8 months ago	opened	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	The middle #-shape of sidewalks need adding here, along with crossings where peoplw would actually cross. Also need to check tags, since I think footway=sidewalk is missing from a lot of them, and there were a few sidewalk=separate tags on the sidewalks themselves. Honestly, this is probably too much detail for most residential estates while we're still getting the pavements mapped on major roads. I'll still be prioritising those over this area. They do join up the park, shops, churches, and major road though, and this old 1930s(?) estate at least has interestingly shaped pavements to map.
	2	~ 8 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	Hi. I just wanted to note that sidewalks need to be regularly linked to the roads, even if there are no technical crossings (maybe at intersections? unless crossing is explicitly impossible), otherwise routing becomes impossibles — and therefore it would be a case of higher level of micro-mapping actually producing worse usability.
	3	~ 8 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	I know. I'm prioritising major roads at the moment precisely because we can devote some extra routing thought to them, between crossings. It often needs a bit of on the ground checking to make sure you're choosing a natural place, however. Perhaps even people-watching for a bit to see how people do cross. ------------------ At the risk of hijacking this note, how do you feel about establishing some vague criteria for when to put a hint in? Q1: Which tags to use? Perhaps we could settle on (for the way) highway=footway footway=link (for the crossing) highway=crossing crossing=informal note=(some note about evidence) At reasonably verifiable natural place (whatever that means). That gives somewhere for Street Complete users to hang kerbstone details, anyway. Q2: How far apart should hint-crossings be? Perhaps we could say that if a stretch is over 50 metres between formal crossings, that's too much and we need to hint the router? Example where we can add something beyond what the intersecting roads give: https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.748442&mlon=-1.257894#map=19/51.748442/-1.257894&layers=N (perhaps two, one near the bus stop and one to the east of the marker somewhere, if people cross there?) or to join up and de-island-ify these long traffic-islandish pseudo-pavement stepping stones between the two formal crossings at Summertown, where everybody who can seems to use those to cross, despite how busy the road gets https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.748442&mlon=-1.257894#map=19/51.777822/-1.265112&layers=N (perhaps one hint at each end of the island?)
	4	~ 8 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Alternative scheme 1: (crossing way) highway=footway footway=crossing crossing=informal (for the crossing) highway=crossing crossing=informal Alternative 2: Low formality. Don't bother tagging the node, and (for the crossing way) highway=footway footway=link (but with short stretches of leader sidewalk that might cause StreetComplete to ask about kerbs. Or it might not. I should test this)
	5	~ 8 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	To take this area where the note is as an example: I'd say that there are informal crossings continuing straight from the pavements parallel to Croft Road, when they curve inside the cul-de-sacs. These would be an informal crossing on both way and node (Alt. 1). However, at the end of the cul-de-sacs, the pavement needs connecting to the turning circles (on the two sides, since they look Y shaped). That would be a link, not a crossing (Alt. 2).
	6	~ 8 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	(Actually, there seem to be yellow lowered kerbs here, so it would be unmarked, not informal, in this case, but I hope my general point is clear.)
	7	~ 8 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	This is how I'd do it: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/168318234 Can you check that it makes sense? That said, I'd agree with your first post, that separate mapping is not worth it for most residential roads.
	8	~ 8 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Looks about right. I've had a go at carrying through the same idea based on a little survey this evening. * There are arguably links inside the car parking blocks, but in practice they're difficult to use because the cars are in the way. * Obviously a lot has happened over the years, and some of the footpaths linking house to road have been converted into driveways. The driveways still serve as foot links, however. Anyway, that's probably it for this bit. Still too much detail for a residential area, but at least it's better detail now!

It's apparently not a good setup[1], and I'd suggest highway=footway footway=sidewalk bicycle=yes rather than highway=cycleway+cycleway=sidewalk because of that. There's a distinction to be made. We probably should be reserving h=c for genuinely better bits of cycle infrastructure, meaning routes free of obstructions and utility poles, and separated crossings with the "elephants' footprint" markings[2] that join up better stuff. Not just bits of paint on an existing footway=sidewalk that was built as a h=f.

I've reviewed widths and access tags, and removed nonstandard and obsolete cycleway=* tags on the roads down the entire length. I've tried to deviate and reduce width where the giant trees and awkward poles are, but it's hard to get all of them. We don't really have any guidelines for how to make a judgement call between cycleway and footway, but the first thing to go is make sure everything has reasonable geometry. Hopefully this is a good first step.

For more info: https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/roads-and-transport/school-streets I think the restrictions can be represented with: motor_vehicle:conditional=permit @ (08:00-09:00; 14:30-15:30) Times vary depending on zones. We also need to identify the exact extent of the zones. Street names are listed on the website above (the whole street, or are signs in specific points?). Technically, restrictions only apply to inbound traffic. If we wanted to be pedantic, maybe it could be represented with motor_vehicle:forward:conditional=* or motor_vehicle:backward:conditional=* on the specific access points, but perhaps the simpler solution to the whole road is better.

We can drop Note pins and suggest confirmatory visits, though, I think that's a valid way of working with public domain knowledge. Big question: what's actually on the ground for these things? If people are liable to fines for crowding school entrances with cars, you'd expect a sign, at least. Maybe I'll use this one as a test of whether we can actually do anything for these zones, if I finish Osney Mead this weekend. If there is nothing on the ground, we could ask the council produce a waiver of the tabular data on the webpage, for the sake of public mapping. The restriction info should somehow have a link back to the council website too. I'd suggest a boundary relation like https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/17748798 for each one, as a place to hang a link back to the official source, plus restrictions on the roads inside the zones.
	5	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	Yes, on the ground there definitely are very clear signs for the restriction. This one is the one I know for sure. A link to the council website, for more information, is what I meant. If not source, what would be an appropriate tag for that? The relation seems overkill, and maybe not even that appropriate since it isn't a full-fledged limited traffic zone.
	6	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	I'm OK with not adding the complexity of a boundary relation, for now. We could adopt url:restrictions and description:restrictions from the wiki for the additional details. How to represent that they're only active on weekdays, during term time?

	8	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	This should do it: motor_vehicle:conditional=permit @ (Mo-Fr 08:00-09:00, 14:30-15:30; SH off) For the additional information, those look like proposals with no use. I think suffixes on the related key might be more in line with other common uses: motor_vehicle:description=* motor_vehicle:url=*

	11	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	Looks good. Thank you! Is it worth adding a longer human-readable description, such as "School Street, traffic restrictions at school drop-off and pick-up hours during term time" For this New Hinksey area, you seem to have missed School Place (ironically!).
	12	~ 10 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Whoops, added. Feel free to adjust the descriptions if it makes more sense that way, and I'll do other ones the same way when I get around to it. From what I saw last night, the best approach is a site visit informed by the council list. Sometimes the boundaries need clarification, sometimes roads have just been omitted on the ground (Baltic Wharf, as a case in point). So, we've clarified what to do, trialled the approach. The other markers say where the work needs doing, and link back here for the why. I think that's enough to close this Note, and let the other ones be worked on separately when mappers have the time. Thanks!

	2	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Just thinking this through: this is only one of two lifts, and it needs to be checked against other signage, all escalators, and the lifts near TK Maxx first before we change anything. This one suggests a scheme like: level=2 level:ref=RT (maybe) level=1 level:ref=UG level=0 level:ref=LG level=-1 level=-2 I'm suggesting we migrate current level names to https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level:ref and make level=* all numeric.
	3	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	doh. level:ref=UG above should read G of course. otherwise, the refs on the 2 notes are the same, and I've just checked they're consistent with each other, for the avoidance of all doubt
	4	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	Yes, we should move those labels to level:ref. However, level=0 is level:ref=G in the southern half, but level:ref=UG in the northern half. That reflects reality based on external ground level, but introduces inconsistency within the shopping centre.
	5	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	The image in the top-left here https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level seems to suggest that numbering should reflect the outside ground level, not the internal floors.
	6	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	I must gather a few more photos as evidence before I start fiddling, particularly if the northern half (just North Avenue, I guess?) actually uses a different scheme, like you say! Argh.
	7	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	The scheme used internally is the same everywhere, and we can tag it straightforwardly in level:ref (most nodes already have that info in 'level', we just need to move it). What will be different is the corresponding OSM numeric 'level', i.e. there is no definite identity between a level and a level:ref. The upper ground floor level:ref=UG will be a level=0 in North Arcade, approaching from Bonn Square, but further south G will be 0 and UG is 1. (The Sainsbury's is in limbo, I guess.)
	8	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	level:ref=UG can't really be level=0 for the North Arcade building: the presence of the emergency exits at the lowest usable ground level, not to mention Globe News, "pin" it to the exact same level:ref=* and level=* scheme and mapping as the rest of the complex (unexpected, but verifiable) Sainsbury's is clear-ish once you follow the line of whitewashed brickwork around the building, along Roger Bacon Lane down to Greyfriars Place. As a separate building, its lowest usable entrance is its loading dock down in Greyfriar's Place (shared with Superdry). That's also the lowest proper exposed wall, since level=0 doesn't really require a door. Pics: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4738767 I think it's fairly straightforward, and consistent too, now that I've done the legwork ;) I'm perfectly happy to call the Bonn Square entrance and the shops on North Arcade {layer=1, layer:ref=UG} Ref: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level#Values
	9	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	The Bonn Square entrance (which is also used the most) absolutely is level=0, since it is levelled with the street and the ground. It cannot be level=1. See this figure: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:MarekUserDefinedBuildingLevels.jpg It doesn't matter if elsewhere there are lower levels. Bonn Square into North Arcade is equivalent to the part on the left of the figure. The map you posted here is helpful, in my opinion. https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4738820 Where LG exists, LG=0, G=1. Where LG doesn't exit (most of North Arcade), G=0
	10	~ 10 months ago	commented	gmar5 ♦569	(The Sainsbury's makes sense, since you go up at least half a level for the entrance).
	11	~ 10 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	The Bonn Square entrance absolutely is level=1 because the lowest wall of any floor above ground of the Northernmost building of the Westgate, the "North Arcade" one, is way below Bonn Square. The shops inside the entrance cannot be anything other than level=1 because you have to go up steps or the long and sloping Castle Street or St Ebbes to get up to them. Please look at the diagram on https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level#Values again. This one: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Building-levels.png. For now, I have resolved this in the standard way. I draw your attention to the wording "an entrance=* located on the right of C will be tagged with level=1" That said, there's no reason why a threshold pedestrian area cannot be level=0 at one end to match the street and level=1 at the other to match the building. I'm specifically referring to https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1318381951, which I consider transitional between the outer street-based numbering, and the inner, building-based numbering. If you were to flip it so that North Arcade (the building) had its layer=0 at Bonn Square (wrong according to the docs), you'd be breaking all the escalators between UG and G around Church Lane. A down escalator tagged level=0;0 + level:ref=UG;G just feels like a worse compromise to me!
	12	~ 10 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Anyway, I've fixed this to my own satisfaction. I'll leave https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/4738820 open for a bit though to see if we can come up with a consensus about the Bonn Square transition and level for outer-edge doors, or North Arcade as a whole. (I've also added the highway=pedestrian ways on UG for routing lying south of Middle Square. They should be connected with escalators now, but not lifts or stairs yet - I don't think the South Arcade UG-G stairs are even mapped yet.)

Is that sufficient? - Fettiplace Road (bus loop) - Underhill Circus (bus loop, shops) - Stowford Road (bus loop) - Burchester Avenue (bus loop) - North Way (bus loop) - the linking bit of Barton Village Road (bus loop) Apart from Burchester Avenue, they are all fairly narrow and cluttered for a tertiary road, with lots of poorly jammed in on-street parking. The bus companies only run buses one way on the Barton roads as a consequence. Waynflete Road, on the other side, is more obviously tertiary. It's just another part of the bus route loop, but it also links to the schools and leisure centre on that side.

They're all busy roads with 2 or more bus routes, even if Fettiplace Road is also a nightmare for them due to the parked cars and lack of sensible passing places.
	3	~ 10 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Done. Perhaps Waynflete Road, Barton Village Road, and North Way (within Barton) are debatable, but I think the others are good as tertiary. I think the main bus routes through Northway, and the wider bus links through

There are a couple of sidewalk to road links that need adding at their correct position, and the footways might be better represented as cycleways if all the crossings are toucans and there's a bit of signposting going on. #surveyme
	2	~ 11 months ago	commented	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	Surveyed. The elephant's feet cycleway markings should perhaps be done as cycleway=crossing, so I'll keep this open
	3	~ 11 months ago	closed	Andrew Chadwick ♦811	On second thoughts, it only makes sense to do the "elephants' footprints" cycle lanes as separate OSM ways tagged as crossings if they continue as separate OSM cycleways done as separate OSM geometries at both ends. Right now, only the Access to Headington stuff at the Cherwell Drive/Marsh Lane junction does that.
