I've corrected the inadvertant changes you made to the parish boundary making into a track. Please be careful not to do this.

Hi,
The tag landuse=grass is incorrect for use on golf course features, surface=grass should be used instead. I did explain this to you previously on Changeset: 74184053 . As I said before please see this page for golf course tags to suit OSM practice :- leisure=golf_course

Regards Bernard.

Hi,
I've amended the tagging to be building=residential and residential=apartments which better describes the situation. I removed the landuse tag as this should be used to describe the greater area within which the buildings are sited.
Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
I moved the garden from joining the road center line and tagged it access=residents as this is not a public place. I tagged the two building as building=residential as it is a building rather that a land are that is mapped.

Remove duplicate POI, amend POI address and tagging, reposition POI.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
This is a Public Footpath as such bikes are not publicly allowed. So I removed the mtb:scale tag.
Regards Bernard.

Do you mean no you will not correct them? Then they should be treated as fiction and removed.

Please see highway=traffic_signals
Which states categorically that, I quote, "because traffic signals can affect routing decisions, it is important that they are attached to the ways to which they apply, and not placed beside the way".

Hi Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

The full name of the school is tagged on the school grounds outline as per OSM practice. Thus your added name is duplicated data so I've removed it.
Thanks for trying to add data though.
Regards Bernard.

Hi,
I've amended the tagging to the three paths FP 58, FP 54 and FP 55 and also amended their lines to go with the Bing imagery. I also removed the duplicated ways drawn over the cycleway. Sectioned up the cycleway and tagged it with the designated info.

This is to conform to the extensive practice established in OSM mapping and used in much of England and Wales. You could now use this as a template for further corrections.

Regards Bernard.

Hi,
A route relation is the way to go then.

I've made a start by creating Relation: The Colchester Orbital East (10052112) . I've added the first two or three sections of the route by extricating the original ways from under your duplicate ways. Sectioning the original ways, adding them to the relation then removing the duplicated sections. Please see the route here :- relation/10052112#map=17/51.90544/0.90891&layers=N

I'm using JOSM editor where the process is a bit tricky but it can be done with patience. With the iD editor it would be very difficult. I can carry on round the route if you wish? But it will take quite a while to do.

Regards Bernard.

Thats OK I noticed the change near at the railway and though maybe you couldn't see the other (hidden) paths.

Do you have any any map, description or website of the Orbital Route, maybe I can help out?

Regards Bernard.

I've put layer=-1 on the tunnel.

74574070 over 6 years ago

Hi,
Your efforts to correct are very much appreciated. Sorry to say though that if you zoom in onto the path where it crosses the railway it can be seen that this section of path it triplicated.
1 Is (the original (tunnel) Way: 43378382 which you placed the other two ways atop of, which lacks a layer tag.
2 Is your new Way: Colchester Orbital West A route (724706845) on which the tag Terrain=Mixed is not valid plus I think the name is a description rather than a formal name that can be verified, (I might be wrong though).
3 Is your new Way: 724802270

You may have to separate the ways to clearly see what has happened. This is partly the reason why you had 13 warnings of crossing ways when you uploaded this changeset. The warnings should always be looked at and corrected (unless they are false positives) before committing an upload. If in doubt don't upload, cancel your changes and try again.

Sorry to point these things but it's a good way to learn.

Regards Bernard.

Hello, Please see my comment on your Changeset: 74474068
You continue to make lots of mistakes with your mapping. Now you have placed a footpath to go over several rail lines and this path is also on top of a tunnel (Way: PROW 127_26 (724802270).

A lot of the paths you add are duplicates of existing ways. If a path needs amending please amend the existing way not draw a new way to duplicate it.

PROW 127_26 is not a path name it is a reference number.

Your Colchester Orbital West A route is not mapped as a route, a route should be mapped as a relation. In adding Way: Colchester Orbital West A route (724706845) you have actually in places triplicated a highway, (three ways in the same position.

There are so many mistakes that I think you should stop editing for now and correct your mistakes. It might actually be best to revert all you many incorrect changes.

Regards Bernard.

PS If you need help please just ask.

Hello, I'm sorry to say that you have placed many of your new path section ontop of existing highways. Thus introducing duplications that will disrupt routing. Please see here :- http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=routing&lon=0.92675&lat=51.88940&zoom=13&overlays=duplicated_edges
Could you please rectify this situation.

The correct way to map a route is with/via a route relation. Section up the existing ways and add them to a relation. There's plenty of help for this, search route relation. If I can help please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.
The bridge is already mapped and tagged has your tags. The cathedral is also mapped it has your tags. Thus I have removed these POI.
Sorry but OSM isn't the place to map personal data like the hotel you stay in, naming it after yourself. So I've removed these two POI.
Regards Bernard.

OK I'll try to explain.

A polygon is a closed way encompassing an area, a single line that completely encloses a single area, starting and ending at the same node, the simplest form being a triangle. An area like this cannot be described as a multipolygon.

There are several types of relation, a multipolygon is a type of relation. There are many forms of multipolygon described at osm.wiki/Multipolygon_Examples
Basically a multipolygon can be made up from several different lines to form an area, (multiple lines to make a polygon).
Or it can be a polygon with a hole or holes nested within it, (multiple polygons).
Or it can be any combination of the above.

If you go through the examples one by one the difference between simple forms to the most complex.

Any specific questions please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

PS I have removed the multipolygon you created and tagged the area simply as a wood.

The river should not be tagged as layer=-1 a bridge should rather be tagged as layer=1

74439816 over 6 years ago

Hi, a single polygon is not a multipolygon. Please see here :- osm.wiki/Multipolygon_Examples

73561220 over 6 years ago

Thanks, OK, the three duplications are removed. It's done in Changeset: 74452236 if it needs to be reverted.
