Please leave this and explain what you are doing & why on talk-gb. Before proceeding further ensure that what you are doing has the consensus of UK mappers.

I think you need to discuss this on talk-gb before making such wholesale changes. I very much doubt that the wiki necessarily reflects UK mappers consensus. Certainly enforcing a rule on priority as you suggest would cause many, many minor roads in Britain to be tertiary. Furthermore there is no guarantee of consistency so a road may have priority in some places and not in others (I think in the main priority markings reflect safety & visibility at most junctions of minor roads)

@JayCBR: there is no rule that populated places must be connected by tertiary roads. In rural parts of Britain it is quite common for small villages and hamlets to only be accessible on very narrow lanes which are most appropriately tagged as unclassified. Do you have local knowledge which indicates the contrary in this case?

Completely forgot to say that routing on the website may take a couple of days before this change works, and with other software typically a month as that is the usual update interval.

Hi & Welcome to OpenStreetMap,

You requested a review of your changes.

Splitting the road did indeed achieve what you wanted, but it is likely someone might have come & glued it back together again (note the couple of warnings above).

Fortunately, although we are unable to use Google StreetView, we can use Bing Streetside (available in the editor) and this shows the bollards in 2012. I've taken the opportunity to do the following:

1) Draw an additional way linking up the two bits of Warrington Street which you split.
2) I made this a footway (it's possible cyclists may use if, but I cant be sure from images).
3) Half way along the new footway, I've added an extra point and labelled it as a bollard passable by pedestrians & cyclists.

In practice just adding the bollard as a point should have stopped cars being routed through the bollards. The additional stuff I've added makes it clearer what the arrangement is and ensures that pedestrians can be routed along the length of Warrington Street.

I've made one or two other changes including updating The Sportsman to an estate agent which I believe is named "A Wilson". Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Regards & Happy New Year,

Jerry

You removed way/224095678 in a task described as adding KFC brand tags. Do you have specific local knowledge that this branch has closed?

It appears both in Food Hygiene data and on KFC's website (way/224095678).

Either way please can you be explicit in the changeset description that you are removing objects when performing these MapRoulette tasks. Such a huge area makes it hard to work out what other changes you make.

It might be worth looking at the recent discussion on talk-gb about farmland (https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2019-December/023889.html), where there are a few of us who have moved to the view that mapping individual fields is probably the best approach for detailed mapping. Also NRW has a very detailed dataset called Phase 1 Habitats (http://lle.gov.wales/catalogue/item/TerrestrialPhase1HabitatSurvey/?lang=en) which codified all land in Wales by categories, which in the main, relate fairly cleanly to OSM tags (see osm.wiki/Plant_Community/UK_Phase_1_Habitat_Classification). I haven't looked at the licence for a while so not absolutely sure it can be used in OSM (it used to be verboten).

Sounds sensible, would be interested if there are any alternatives too. I've deliberately avoided doing some because I doubt if I'll check after Xmas.

Select the way, then a scissors icon appears at the bottom, select the scissors then the node where you want to divide the way. If it's a closed way there'll be a message at the top asking to select the second node. HTH (worth practising before going out; I sometimes stop for a coffee & do the more fiddly stuff in the warm).

Hi,

I'd like to know why you decided to re-classify Hindhay Lane. From your profile you appear to be based in Kansas rather than Maidenhead, and therefore I doubt it you truly know the place.

This has always been a track. Since the mid-2000s it (and Malders Lane) were re-classified as Restricted Byways because they were appearing on SatNavs and cars were using them as rat runs. Motor vehicles (other than those belonging to the farmer/landowner) are prohibited.

I have changed it back to a track.

Yours,

The addition of a hospital here seems most unlikely. I do not recall any road signs pointing to a hospital at the junction by Dunnes Stores. Monaghan Hospital itself is clearly signposted, as can be seen in Mapillary imagery.

Do you know if the gardens on top of "We the Curious" are accessible ones, or are they just green roofs?

Yes, use highway=cycleway (which in UK always implies usable by pedestrians), but you can add foot=yes. For the separated cycle & foot 'lanes' the tag is segregated=yes. (You may need to use the "advanced tags" bit to do this.) The wiki page helpfully shows the typical sign osm.wiki/Key%3Asegregated.

Jerry

Hi Son of B of A,

You are quite right about this, and I'm going to do it right now. The brand stuff is fairly new and there are a few like this where the people who created it selected a tag different from what most people expect.

Jerry aka SK53

You could probably remove the access=no and replace it with motor_vehicle=no, which ought to have the desired effect. I presume taxis are not allowed in this service road? Looks like the next one over has the same problem.

I think in the UK we're recommending avoiding access=no as it is too prone to break routers.

I adjusted connections to the foot bridge over the railway and added the elevator, replacing the parking lot with the new building to N of the station plaza.

I presume some of these edits have been in response to this tweet: https://twitter.com/jonemo/status/1200132316900679680?s=19. Am in a different time zone so can't work out sequencing, but was intrigued by tweet & wanted to see if it was unconnected sidewalks. Anyway wanted just to say I've added a bit more.

Jerry

OK I've removed the tag (the figure of 18 was probably valid for 1 of them!)

Hi & Welcome to OSM,

I presume something rather annoying has happened, but am very surprised it has anything to do with OpenStreetMap (see further below).

I've restored the building, but using a neutral term "yes" rather than "pub". In OSM a pub building just means one originally constructed as a pub, we have perhaps 50-100 mapped in Nottingham (http://osm-nottingham.org.uk/?z=11&lon=-1.17734&lat=52.96221&bgl=OSM,1,15&l=closedpubs) ranging from supermarkets to mosques & have not experienced any issues over the past 10 years.

The other reference is so obscure that I'd be flabbergasted if anyone was using it (and exists in national data on bus stops).

The reason why I'm surprised that any app or map based on OSM is showing this as a pub is that it has never been mapped on OSM as a pub as such.

If you happen to have any other information about any apps etc. which may be causing this annoyance, you can pass this on to me privately SK53 dot osm at gmail dot com. It may be there is some roque app created by someone with a poor grasp of OSM data & if there is it would be nice to identify who they might be.

Yours,

Jerry aka SK53

Thanks. Looks like the tag should be deleted from a lot of them anyway. I must have inadvertently copied a node with that tagging, because I certainly did not intend to add the module number with these edits.

Hi,

Can I ask what you mean by a "hipster" stile? It looks as though you are the only person using this tag, and it might be that there is a more widely used value which describes the same thing. (A link to a photo would be most useful).

Cheers,

Jerry aka SK53
