Welcome to OSM. I'm the main editor of the roads around Beaford Grove! Thanks for adding the house outlines. FYI. with the online ID editor it is pretty tricky to get right angled houses, so you may want to consider learning JOSM which is a more powerful editing tool. It even has a "terracer" plugin that allows a terrace to be created easily. What would be really valuable is to add the house numbers using the same tags as houses on the other roads such as Cannon Hill Lane. Thanks again.

See also osm.org/#map=19/51.40850/-0.21561 and osm.org/#map=19/51.40728/-0.21938 both of which are a lot clearer for pedestrians as currently tagged.

This is my standard tagging for areas like this, see osm.org/#map=19/51.40128/-0.19643 for example. The key question is when does something stop being just a traffic island and start being a plaza? FWIW, I think for larger islands like this, having them rendered is useful (as opposed to an empty space) although this is not the primary motivation.

Hi, thanks for adding golf course details. For your info, it is generally recommended to add the source tag to the changeset, not individual objects, particularly for general things like "Bing". No particular need to fix this - just for future reference.

Hi there. Unfortunately your change set has removed a carefully GPS surveyed boardwalk, added a service road that doesn't exist and removed the sidewalk tag from a sidewalk.

Hi there, you just deleted a school building for no good reason that I can see. Your edit history is also very fast and widespread. Can you provide more info on how you are editing?

Hi there, thanks for looking at the traffic order - I'd already done most of it. Unfortunately, you've got this bit wrong. Bushey Road is staying 40mph west of Grand Drive and 30mph east of it. Plus the bit on Burlington Road by Shannon Corner is not 20mph based on my survey. I think this changeset would be better reverted.

Hi, thanks for the edits!. If you use JOSM as your editor, there is a Terracer plugin that can take a rectangle and split it easily into smaller parts. This ensures that houses are rectangles, rather than nearly but not quite recangular. It also encourages you to add the address of each house (which is more valuable than just building outlines). Please see the Raynes Park area for the kind of detail I'm adding to each house/street. thanks

Shrug. The road is completely closed at present, marking it as a service road implies it can be passed IMO. Maybe highway=construction ?

Welcome to OSM! Thanks for adding the buildings. As some of these buildings are not just one house, it is best to mark them with building=residential rather than building=house (house is used for a single dwelling). Also, if you want to go further, it would be worth downloading and using JOSM, as it has a feature to create square/rectangular buildings (keypress Q). Thanks!

Welcome to Open Street Map. We already have an attraction for Wimbledon Tennis club near here, so unless there is some reason this building is special, this should probably be removed.

Thanks for your contribution! Unfortunately, it would be best to put this back to place=suburb, as this matches how Raynes Park and Motspur Park are defined. place=village is rarely used in cities AFAIK.

Thanks for your contribution! Could you also add address tags for the building? Probably addr:city=New Maldem, addr:street=Sycamore Grove, addr:housenumber=39, addr:housename=Scariff Court. You can then remove the name tag (as addr:housename covers it). Thanks

I afraid I can't find any other examples in the UK that support your interpretation of that page. Your changes to the off-ramps at Malden Junction and northbound at Shannon Corner are particularly egregious - I don't think anyone draws a map with different colours/types for the on and off ramps.
I don't much care whether the on/off ramps are drawn as part of the major road, or as part of the minor road (the Ordanance Survey does the latter, but the OSM wiki and almost all the UK examples I can find is pushing towards the former. But any choice would need to be consistent for on and off ramps.
Maybe if I'm allowed onto the talk-gb list it can be discussed there.

I'm arguing for the middle option, restricting splitting to major thoroughfares. I don't see any widespread use of the first option (residential land use not crossing roads) because to do so would be horrible to edit. The middle ground is what I've kept (see Bushey Road below). Beyond that I apply a simple enough rule - if I'm standing on the street, what land use does it feel like. The "preliminary" comment refers only to a single border around a whole town/city which is not what is happening here, so the warning does not apply.
I also note that many other town centres such as WImbledon, Kingston and Guildford have their land use zone cross roads. It makes the area much more visible and is a more accurate representation of the land use of the *area*, which is what the tag needs to capture in the absence of a "highway" land use.
Its my judgement that the south side of Coombe Lane is part of the retail centre of Raynes Park - it has local advertising posters to show this. Similarly, the retail areas around the station and Waitrose all form a single contiguous retail area.
I also don't think that the visibility of a cycle track was a good reason to make the change. IMO, the tracks are perfectly visible, at least as far as Carto is able to do given its focus on roads.

Surely this would be a trunk_link? The wiki page doesn't suggest the link type is about where the link goes. It does suggest the link type is determined by the biggest road type, so this would be a trunk_link. Similar comments to other recent changes.

Hi, I don't really understand why splitting the landuse is a good idea (this commit and other recent ones). I had set this area up so that land use was applied consistently across the whole area, rather than being in isolated parcels. Raynes Park town centre is one area, not a set of separate parcels. IMO, the roads are part of the land use, and it is a judgement of the mapper on the street as to whether a particular piece of road is more residential or retail. It is certainly a lot more ugly and inconsistent on the default Carto map now - we're not going to avoid having residential lan use cross roads, so there is no reason why retail land use should not.

Thanks for contributing. Please try to edit only one area at a time, rather than both Thatcham and central London - it helps when others review the history of edits.

Your edit has caused a section of Summer Road to double back on itself

I've added the not:name tag (hopefully correctly). Live locally, street sign, council and residents all agree it is one word not two.
