Hi, There's a problem here with your new way High Street (1227225136). Firstly you've mapped it as doubling back over itself. Secondly you've mapped it on top of the existing way, High Street (511294158), to which side roads join. This makes for duplication of highways, disrupting routing.

If a way needs correcting/amending it's OSM practice to correct the existing way rather than mapping a new way. Thus the history of the way is maintained.

Could you please remove your new (duplication) section of highway High Street (1227225136) and make the correcting/amending to the existing highway. Need any help please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

These are private domestic gardens.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Please remember to revert the change when the road re-opens.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Your wood area is mapped within a larger wood area relation/8355672

Thus your new area is a duplication which I've removed.

Regards Bernard.

You've also tagged these tracks as residential highways which is obviously incorrect.

Hi, You made lots of duplicated highways, which I;ve removed. Please take heed of and correct the warnings. above. There are reported 50 instances of un-connected highways, these are of no use to OSM in this manner.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I've removed 10 duplicated highways which you mapped, these would have disrupted routing.

Please learn OSM best practices and also check your mapping before uploading.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Please take time to read the guides to OSM mapping.

I've just removed many instances of duplicated highways that you added to OSM. There are warnings above of 77 problems.

I've also removed many fictitious names that actually looked like descriptions, (minor road). I've removed other duplicated features, (clinics) and several POI's placing relevant info from them onto the buildings.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

An OSM element should represent a single on-the-ground feature once and only once. Thus I've removed the POI node and placed the node info on the shop outline.

Regards Bernard,

Hi, Please consider making route relations for these routes. The reason is that you now have sections of duplicated paths. Where two routes share a single path line there should only be one path mapped, then the one section of path is added to each route relation. Duplicating highways should be avoided as it disrupts routing.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Sorry, but the house numbers are not the names. Please remove the instances of number names, and tag the numbers as addr:housenumber=???

Need any help just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

You made lots of duplications of features in this changeset, I think I've removed all of them. There were many duplicated highways that disrupted routing.

Please take heed of warnings when uploading. Also if a feature needs amending or correcting please amend/correct the existing feature, thus all history is kept.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Please check your mapping before uploading, I've just removed 19 duplicated highways from this area that you added. Duplicated highways seriously disrupt routing.

To make checking easier it's better to limit the number of edits in a changeset to about 20. It's would be very difficult for you or anyone else to check this changeset with nearly 1000 edits in it.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Please be careful and check for problems before you upload. I've just removed several sections of duplicated highways from your mapping.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, I forgot to mention the tag craft=carpet_layer when other tags refer to a digital design & marketing agency.

Hi, You've got Deep Footprints Online Marketing Ltd (1222243458, v1) mapped as a self-intersecting line tagged as building=retail. Should this be a node?

Also it's tagged as addr:housenumber=11c, but it is within an existing building tagged addr:housenumber=9, is it in the correct place?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Please be aware that you have several unconnected path ends in this area. There are also several lines that are just tagged surface=ground, are these paths? Could you please go over your mapping and correct these anomalies?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, I tried to explain before that a running track is a leisure feature and a footpath is a highway. Leisure features are not routable, highways are. As far as I'm aware no routing software will route through a leisure feature.

Paths at Sweet Briar Marsh do all route correctly, please see here for an example: osm.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=52.64184%2C1.24899%3B52.64068%2C1.25867#map=16/52.6429/1.2575&layers=N

Same with the Wensun Park paths:- osm.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=52.64007%2C1.28634%3B52.64157%2C1.28454#map=18/52.64128/1.28594&layers=N

The two routing examples above say to me that Plotaroute is not the best option for routing. Although Plotaroute says they update their data from OSM on a drip-feed basis, the drip must be very slow though.

Sorry I can't explain better, Regards Bernard.

Hi, The running track is (correctly) tagged as a leisure feature, it is not (and shouldn't be) tagged as a highway. Plotaroute like most other routing software will only route on highways. I tried Plotaroute on other running tracks and it's just the same outcome.

As I said before there is a route from any highway to the end of the footway where it joins the track on foot or cycle. Please see here:- osm.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_foot&route=52.63744%2C1.25419%3B52.63629%2C1.25795

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Your additions of ways tagged leisure=track, sport=running, surface=paved, would not have made the running track routable. Only highways, (other than highway=raceway), are routable. This track isn't a highway so it would not be expected to be routable. As it is now there is a route from any highway to the end of the footway where it joins the track on foot cycle.

A running track should not be tagged as a highway.

Regards Bernard.
