| 76781713 | about 6 years ago | I think this edit is incorrect - Esri World Imagery (Clarity) Beta shows that there is (or at least was) a traffic island here. The carriageway on either side of the island should therefore be mapped as separate ways, and this is how it was previously mapped. I therefore think this changeset should be reverted, unless the traffic island no longer exists. Also, I suspect there is a missing turn restriction in the mapping here - do you know (from a source we are permitted to use here, so e.g. Google StreetView is not permitted) whether there are signs indicating that a U-turn from the A1 northbound to southbound is banned? The geometry I see in the imagery suggests that is likely to be the case. (There is on exception I'm aware of to the general rule of using separate ways around a traffic island, which is for a small traffic island away from any junctions and which can be represented instead by a labelled node. However, that approach isn't possible here.) |
| 76629575 | about 6 years ago | In this changeset you've managed to move the way previously representing the farm access track to the removed highway alignment, and created a new way for the farm access track (I'd guess this happened by extending the way and then splitting it, with the history being assigned to the wrong half). Please try to avoid doing this, as it makes the history more confusing and misleading. |
| 76562522 | about 6 years ago | I've done something slightly different - changeset/76563347 fixes assorted issues, some of which were introduced here, and some of which were already present. Have a look at it and see if you agree and/or think I've missed anything. |
| 76562522 | about 6 years ago | I think you have misunderstood the meaning of many of the construction tags you have removed. They are being used to indicate what tags will be appropriate when all the construction at the junction is complete and the new roads are fully opened. Your edit removes all of these indications. I would agree that a few of the existing tags were incorrect, but a blanket removal of constuction: tags on all the roads that are open in some form (not necessarily their final form) seems incorrect. |
| 76466917 | about 6 years ago | I've reverted this in changeset/76562296; if it turns out that the roundabouts are fully open (which would surprise me), then this can be reinstated as a new changeset using appropriate refs for the temporary layout. |
| 76466917 | about 6 years ago | That GPS trace drawn in the image corresponds to the layout as it was mapped before your changes, and hence provides no evidence at all to support your changeset. If that is the only 'evidence', then this changeset should be reverted. |
| 76466917 | about 6 years ago | Do you have a source for this? I haven't yet seen any evidence that the roundabouts are fully open (though I am unable to check in person), and wasn't expecting that to happen while all A14 traffic was still passing through them.
|
| 76270886 | about 6 years ago | I don't see any reason for including the tag "oneway=no" - it's the default for this type of road, and there's no reason why any other mapper might think it weren't twoway. |
| 76122386 | about 6 years ago | I think the wiki page, along with existing usage, makes it fairly clear that "motorway_junction" is appropriate here. |
| 76122386 | about 6 years ago | You made various errors in this changeset, which I think I fixed in 76255908. Firstly, you used "trunk" instead of "trunk_link" in many places. Secondly there were a number of gaps where you left the old motorway status or refs. And thirdly, you changed the future status of a number of slip roads to incorrectly show them as forming part of the final layout.
|
| 75603514 | about 6 years ago | The county council website suggests that the name changes at the corner of the parish boundary near Crome Lea Business Park. I've no idea if this is an admissible source anyway.
|
| 75385624 | about 6 years ago | Agreed - I've added highway:construction=primary_link to indicate again the status once construction is complete. |
| 74711249 | about 6 years ago | The way you had this mapped gives the impression that the busway is already open, which it isn't. I've added/amended tags to show that it is still under construction, but I don't know if any parts are actually (either in the way object I updated, or in the parts further north). Are you able to check how much of the busway is still under construction, and fix any other incorrect tags? If necessary, you may need to split some existing ways. |
| 61915584 | about 6 years ago | You shouldn't add descriptions such as 'planned' or 'construction' to names - this may 'clarify' to a human reader, but OpenStreetMap data is also used algorithmically (e.g. by journey planners). You should instead use construction tags (or other appropiate lifecycle tags) - read highway=construction and osm.wiki/Category:Lifecycle for more information. |
| 30454936 | over 6 years ago | I agree that you aren't the original source; however, all the ones I'd noticed where ones where you'd changed the tag barrier=fence to barrier=hedge, without noticing the issue. |
| 74640217 | over 6 years ago | I just discovered the tunnel issue (the level crossings being the giveaway) too - this could have been fixed a week ago when you first discovered the mistake. I've removed the incorrect tunnel/layer tags, but I don't have enough information to work out what needs to be done with the Yox River crossing, so you'll have to fix that yourself. |
| 30454936 | over 6 years ago | There are a number of areas east of Hardwick that you have tagged as barrier=hedge and landuse=farmland. There are a couple of issues with this. Firstly, the use of a 'landuse' tag suggests that this way should be treated as an area, with the result that users of the data might incorrectly assume the whole field is a hedge (see e.g. the default renderer on openstreetmap.org at zoom levels 16 and above). Secondly, by tagging this on multiple adjoining fields (setting aside the area issue), you are effectively mapping the same hedge multiple times.
|
| 74478234 | over 6 years ago | Since you've adjusted the roundabout exit, you should probably adjust the entrance under construction to a more accurate line as well (compare this to the nearby Girton West roundabout) |
| 74274468 | over 6 years ago | Yes, I'm aware of that announcement (though I saw it on Facebook instead). However, plans do sometimes change, and the reality on the ground is clearly different. In a comment on their post they confirmed to me that:
|
| 74274468 | over 6 years ago | This is the second time you've set the slip road as oneway - before repeating a change that someone else (me) reverted, you should check what their sources are and whether the reversion was correct. In this case my edits to 'reopen' the slip road and make the link twoway clearly state that the source was a 'survey' - that means I was actually physically present and saw that the slip road hadn't been closed. Furthermore, I happened to be there again at the exact time you made this change to mark the slip road as closed again, and I can confirm that it was definitely still open at the time. I've reverted this changeset; if you still think that the slip road is permanently closed, then please discuss this further with me. |
