Duplicated highway removed.

Hi, Most of these ways look like field boundary lines rather than tracks. If they are tracks then you have duplicated some sections of them.

So are they really highways or are they field edges?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, You've actually made duplicate highways by mapping the raceway on top of existing highways which disrupts routing. I've removed the duplicated highways and created a route relation for the raceway.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Thanks for adding your new speed data. Unfortunately, it went a bit wrong and you added a new highway atop the existing highway. Your thinking was correct, the existing highway should be split and the new section speed tag amended. I was able to figure out what you wanted to do and made the amendments, (OSM practice is to make corrections to existing features where possible to maintain history). Please check that I've got the position of the 30 limit placed correctly.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

In changing the road name you somehow duplicated the highway which disrupts routing. So I've removed the duplication. I checked the name and it seems Holly Hill is correct. So the name should not be changed.

Hello,

Thanks for responding. A local street or any street is classed as a highway. Please see here:- highway=* The page explains that everything from a motorway to an unpaved path is a highway.

Anyway my point was to inform you of the problems with duplicating highways. Also OSM's best practice of correcting existing features instead of mapping over them.

If you need any help or further clarification please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, You've mapped lots of your new highways on top of existing highways. This disrupts routing so I've removed all the duplicated sections.

If a highway needs amending it's OSM practice to do this to the existing highway, thus maintaining OSM history.

Hello and Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

These many tracks you've added are actually mostly field boundaries. You can see the lines of agricultural vehicle tracks on some imagery which go across these fields, no along the tracks you've drawn. The best imagery for clarity is Esri World Imagery which you can open in the iD editor. What drew me to look at these tracks is the fact that a lot of sections are duplicated.

Could you map these features as landuse=farmland and survey to determine which lines are truly highways?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

The track you removed was the service road and access to the Scout Hall. Can you state please, how the hall is now accessed?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Semi-detached are joined. An area tag was not needed. A small adjustment made, please check.

Hi,

Strange, opened in JOSM and the pub is there as expected, it's this relation:- relation/16306400.

The situation before I did anything was that the pub outline was drawn twice (duplication). Once as the outside outline and once as the outside outline with extension (self-intersecting) to include a cut-out for a courtyard. What I did was to remove all of the self-intersecting line except the courtyard, tagging that as a courtyard. Then make a multipolygon relation from the remaining tagged pub outline and the courtyard.

A bit of thought later. The kept outline in the relation is tagged as amenity=pub, this renders OK in JOSM. The removed outline was tagged building=pub, which renders OK in JOSM. I had thought, from the tag amenity=pub, a building was implied, as the wiki:- amenity=pub#How_to_map implies.

Anyway I've added the tag building=retail to the relation, see if that resolves the problem.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

The building names are fiction and should be removed.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I'm sorry to say that there are many mistakes in this changeset.

None of the features you added are named "s", I cannot understand why you added these fictious names, they should be removed. There are 10 warnings given above this comment if possible these should be corrected. It looks like you have tagged building areas as landuse=residential. The landuse=residential areas seem to be haphazardly drawn joining onto roads. Some highways are not joined properly.

Could you please look try to correct these problems.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, You somehow duplicated a long section of highway (Way: Akuressa - Kamburupitiya Road (509563234)), which I've removed because it disrupts routing.

You probably could not notice the duplication when checking your upload because of the large number of features edited, 64, in that changeset. It's best to limit edits in a changeset to less than 20. This allows you or other folk to check for errors.

Regards Bernard

Hi, You seem to be adding a lot of strange-shaped areas here. A lot of them look like fiction. In one case you've mapped a building with a building and a meadow inside of it.

This changeset is so strange that I think it should be reverted. Perhaps you could comment please.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Please be aware that you've placed the cycleway Way: 1198475629 and Way: 1232576328 on top and very close to the existing track Way: 89739477. I wonder if the new cycleway is supposed to replace the existing track? If so then it's OSM practice to amend the existing highways to meet any new layout of highways. Also there's a gate near the roundabout, should that be removed?

Regards Bernard,

Hi, The tag values MST57 ect are not names, they are reference numbers issued by the highway authority. Also 'permissive path' is not a name, there is a formal tag for a permissive path, designation=permissive_footpath. Lastly '(private road)' is not part of a road name, it's the roads status or designation.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Unfortunately you uploaded the route of your trip to the OSM live worldwide database. Thus your personal data was in conflict with existing ground truth data probably disrupting routing. So I've reverted the changes.

You can use OSM to record personal data but it must not be uploaded to the OSM database. You can save it offline or make a personal map.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, You've tagged names such as Earls Colne 17, these are not the names of the highways. They are the Public Right of Way reference numbers issued by the Highway Authority. Thus I've changed the tags to prow_ref=???, I also added tags designation=public_footpath
foot=designated

Regards Bernard.

Your duplicated highway removed.
