Ah, didn't know if I'd mentioned it to you before (it's listed on the imagery_used if you edit it with it turned on). This zig zag path should probably also be bicycle=yes?

If you add the follow URL as a layer in JOSM you can see that path seems to extend right through the woods on either side :)

Yes the correct thing to do is to remove the name tag. Unfortunately osm-carto has a 3 year old issue open about this: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/3271

Don't know if you are aware but there's a background overlay you can enable called "OSMUK Cadastral Parcels" which will help with the alignment.
Thanks for adding the new Claypits paths btw :)

It's worth reading the following:
https://archive2021.parliament.scot/ResearchBriefingsAndFactsheets/S4/SB_14-30.pdf (page 10)

Cycling on a footway (pavement) is an offence under section 129(5) of the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984. Section 6(d) of the Land Reform Act 2003 exempts any land where access is restricted by another Act from the access legislation.

So the information at your link is true, but it applies to paths which are NOT pavements.

Of course it's unlikely you would get caught and fined by the police for cycling on this pavement. However we cannot mark it as bicycle=yes as that is not true. And it would also make people think there is a good cyclepath alongside the road...

Is the gate still there on top of the cattle grid?
I added it based on this and made them two separate nodes

Watch out, not all the major roads are paved - this one is cobbled (sett) ;) way/5048694/history

The bicycle tags were removed from the footway along the A702 because there is no evidence that cycling is allowed here. Has the situation changed recently?

Just a suggestion, it's better to use the "add a note to the map" feature rather than editing the map to add a note :) I've opened a note here with your comment: note/2786463

Hi, where is the locked gate on this road as it would be good to have it add - is it right at the southern end or nearer the farmyard?

108511613 over 4 years ago

Hi, welcome to OSM and thanks for the edits. For the buildings with two housenumbers it's better if these are mapped as their own node so each housenumber has an individual address. I've done this for all the ones in Clerwood Park :)

Hi, I've changed the gate you added to a cycle barrier node/1918962852 - might be worth adding a bicycle=* tag to indicate access, see the wiki page: barrier=cycle%20barrier

What issues did you fix?

108949004 over 4 years ago

Do you know where it moved to?

108910455 over 4 years ago

Worth having a look at barrier=cycle%20barrier and seeing if you can add access tags for this :)

Check them afterwards but you can shift + click to select the buildings and press Q to do them all in one go ;)

Although the planters block cars on the ground, in OSM it's the cycleway that stops cars being routed through. In a sense you don't need the planters at all, so tbh I'm not too fussy on how they are represented in OSM. :)

But I put the planter on the cycleway (similar to bollards) as I've seen it's been done that way in London: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/19OL e.g. node/7681304707
Dunno if it might help with analysing the data to have the planter connected?

Though I would just say avoid duplication, either a line across or a node on the cycleway but not both.

Just a tip when adding buildings - please use the square function (shortcut Q) after drawing a building.
Also, although the Bing imagery is detailed it is usually slightly out of alignment. You should use the imagery offset tool in the background settings to move it to match the current data and/or the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels overlay before editing :)

I've removed the hospital area you added around the doctors.

Hi, just wondering if there's a reason why you added a commercial area around Kinloch Anderson and not retail?
