We’re trying to keep the turn restrictions intact!

I had an accident in the rain before due to over-reactive brakes, sometime in 2012, and I fell on my hand and arms first and not my head. I don’t usually go over 16-20 km/h for health reasons.

Even in the UK, it is my personal opinion that cycling is only safe if people don’t have to dress up like Tour de France riders: that does not make any sense.

What I saw in the Netherlands last year makes me feel how behind the UK is at present.

@Richard, the restrictions do show in the sidebar it does not usually show up on the main editing screen (maybe I am just so used to JOSM, and I am a bit cranky for other reasons today).

One of the problem behind this is that iD does not display turn restrictions very well. That is why so many new editors unwittingly break turn restrictions.

A “Draft” does not necessarily mean it is optional to follow them: for example, when a website is very young the webmaster has to come up with some good practice rules, then over time they need to revise it to take into account the changes and evolutions in the community.

All the link roads should be narrower than its mainline equivalent, and not just motorways.

I would support the rollout of the new highway colours after we have implemented the “heritage” layer: see https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2015-August/017652.html.

I think the colour changes are so drastic that a version with the existing colours should continued to be maintained as a “heritage” layer and have it run side by side.

Even with the governments out of the way, we can’t practically force everyone to comply with our licence unless we have an aggressive legal team like RIAA.

The glacier came from Vlad and I checked the cliff in question. I do get inspired by the work of HOT (the humanitarian mapping people) because there are many areas in the world that are not mapped and the default imagery in Potlatch is detailed enough to create starting points for projects in future.

I do my best in good faith to add information to a very remote area that clearly lacked sufficient detail prior to the crash, but to have more people joining in will help rescue and medical teams anywhere, as the response to the Ebola crisis shows.

No one should be discouraged from giving crisis response mapping a try.
