| 110677341 | over 4 years ago | There's another tag postal_code that could be used, but addr:postcode is building-specific per UK Royal Mail deliverable addressing. |
| 110677341 | over 4 years ago | Please avoid adding addr:postcode to the school area when there's a building=school present with it already. |

The unit for maxheight isn't required as its default interpretation is in metres. The explicit unit 'm' is accepted if desired, but not 'meter', 'meters', 'metre' or 'metres'. |
| 103477609 | over 4 years ago | You can add POI tags directly to the building, so as to avoid two taggable things, resulting in the same mapping render outcome. |
| 103477806 | over 4 years ago | Please restore the addressing information you removed. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | I found in RTRA 1984 Chapter 27, Traffic regulation orders outside Greater London may make order for facilitating: 1(c) "any class of traffic (including pedestrians)" Norwich City council made a TRO at https://tro.trafficpenaltytribunal.gov.uk/TRO/Norwich/Norwich-City-Council-Bowthorpe-Clover-Hill-Bus-Lanes-Traffic-Regulation-Order-2018.pdf but with statement "no person shall…drive or propel or cause to be driven or propelled any vehicle to enter or proceed". Highways Code indeed doesn't feature the 'no pedestrians one', with disclaimer stating it only features the most common signs. Though it's there in DfT's know Your Traffic Signs, and is enforceable if desired by authority. Also definitions from TSRGD 2016 Schedule 1 - Part 2: “bus lane” a traffic lane reserved for— (a) buses; and (b) where indicted on a sign, authorised vehicles, pedal cycles, solo motor cycles or taxis, plus:
That's all sufficient to convince me that it is legal to walk there now. I'd still like pedestrian routing to prefer pavements or slightly longer routes to avoid, but that's a separate issue. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | Re-reading that again though it is restricting route use to particular classes of vehicle, not necessarily exempting foot or horse-drawn carriage, say. TSRGD2016 Schedule 3 also headed "Upright signs that indicate regulatory requirements for moving traffic". So I remain unconvinced. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | Good spot, so I guess all that's needed is to revise motor_vehicle=no to vehicle=no, with the override more-specific exemptions for psv/bicycle and default UK foot=yes. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | DfT "Know Your Traffic Signs" contains "Blue circles generally give a mandatory instruction,such as 'turn left', or indicate a route available only to particular classes of traffic, e.g. buses and cycles only" and "Blue rectangles are used for information signs except on motorways where blue is used for direction signs". Traffic can be understood to include pedestrians, though OED defines as vehicular. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | In this case there's separate pavement provision and the sign 'only' implies all except listed mode types, which to me excludes pedestrians. I've been trying to find where in law it's okay for pedestrians to walk in bus lanes or in zones such as this. Am fine with tagging to law, just want to be certain about the legal interpretation. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | The pavements are legal for pedestrians of course, but that split-section of road is not legally permitted to walk and has no pavement. The resolution could be to explicitly create a footpath/sidewalk for pedestrian routing while maintaining the correct legal restriction on the road ways. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | So are you saying the legal sign bus and cycle blue instruction type means pedestrians are permitted? That seems risky considering it's a bus lane. |
| 47605105 | about 5 years ago | It seems you erroneously removed the default access=no from the bus/cycle-only section of road 3 years back linking Clover Hill Road with Earlham Green Lane. Or was there a reason for doing this? |
| 92580362 | about 5 years ago | House outlines |
| 19141372 | over 5 years ago | I've corrected a typo in store name introduced by this edit all those years ago. It was “Infnity Motorcycles”, now ‘Infinity Motorcycles’. |
| 87701157 | over 5 years ago | I note you used highway_ref key instead of highway_authority_ref, has opinion on that changed? |
| 83343705 | over 5 years ago | That looks rather like tagging for the routing agent, the map data itself is fine and legally a U-turn if possible at either end of the split road, if inadvisable. The solution here is to adjust the routing agents to weight with penalty turns greater than 270 degrees. |
| 22939838 | almost 6 years ago | Morrisons is no longer signed there, B&Q has been extended to include it back with similar outside texture/colour. The Computers 4 Africa part has also gone with a Garden Centre canopy making use of the former external space. I've also amended the car park speed limit and added the give ways. |
| 80042923 | almost 6 years ago | You added " Norwich" suffix to the name tag of one near me, but it's only signed as "carshop" (lower case). The Norwich part is geographical and not necessary for a name tag, nor the address house name. However, I accept it is used on their website, like many, to help distinguish between the national set. So if you must add it, use nat_name key instead? |
| 61074526 | about 6 years ago | This looks like tagging for the routing agent to me. There is no legal restriction on turning right into the Loddon Bypass NE exit slip road from A146 westbound. To me this looks you created the no right turn restriction to ensure trucks don't take the shorter but high angle turn (248 degrees). However, the truck/van routing really should take account of the turn angle itself, and not rely on imaginary legal routing restrictions. This is not the truth on the ground. |
