Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

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

Regards Bernard.

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.

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.

You've joined a lot of nodes together that should not be joined.

I've removed the relation that served no purpose.

I've removed the fictional motorway placed on top of another highway.

The source you state looks to be, (at least in part), copyright material, UK MOD Crown Copyright 2023. Please be aware that unless you have express permission to use this material to add to the OSM database, it would be considered a copyright infringement. Please see towards the bottom of this page:- osm.org/copyright

In this regard, it might be best to revert this whole changeset, so that no infringement can be claimed against OSM. You can then add back the features you know of, that are not gleaned from copyright material.

Hi, There is a single highway which is the service road. The service road is designated as a Public Right of Way footpath. Which means that the surface of the way is invested to the Highway Authority. The HA then has a duty of caring for the PRoW.

As far as the OSM database is concerned, it is the tags that determine the use of, or restriction of, a highway. I've added designation tags to the relevant section of the service road. Thus the service road is designated as a public footpath and foot use is specifically designated, (designation=public_footpath
foot=designated). So the designation tags show the footpath extends to Watery Lane.

I hope this explains things, need any help on anything please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Tagged the path as public, its a PRoW.

Hi, I've removed the duplicate section of highway, footpath on top of service road, and added designation tags.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I've removed the section of path that was on top of the service road and amended the service road tags to suit the public footpath.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, I've removed the duplicated section of highway as it disrupts routing. There is no highway named Waterville Gardens, that name refers to the group of dwellings.

Regards Bernard.
