Hi!

Was there a reason that the value for maxspeed was removed for a number of roads?
maxspeed:type=* says "It should be accompanied by a maxspeed=* tag"

Regarding removal of bicycle=yes from pavements without cycleway signs - also from osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#United_Kingdom

"On pavements, it is illegal to cycle unless designated"

Hi!
The road name sign at the corner with Queen's Avenue has an apostrophe in West Hope Grant's Road, so I've added it back in so the name matches the sign.

Hi!

You have changed the value of maxspeed on many roads in Shalden. Can I ask what your source was?
There are no speed limit signs in Shalden, so the national speed limit applies to the public highways. The value of maxspeed should be the official/legal/signposted speed limit rather than a desired value. See maxspeed=*

Hi!

These paths are still inaccessible (behind a fence), so I am going to tag them as as under construction once again.

Hi!
I'm still concerned about this private road (and the one going past the farmhouse) being marked as part of the route: way/97973019

Hi!

Thanks for the feedback - I've lost my notes from that day, so I've corrected it based on Bing aerial and Bing StreetSide.

Also, was there a reason why bicycle access was removed from the section of path linking the bridleway to Pack Lane here: way/196574703

Hi!

What was the source of this route? I'm not aware that it's signposted in Basingstoke or Dummer, and the roads through Southwood Farm (e.g. way/97973019 ) were behind locked gates and fences the last time I looked.

Hi!

1. Could I ask you to provide proper changeset comments? "change" doesn't really tell anyone anything. Ideally, some combination of why you made the edits, what you changed, and what your source was (e.g. survey, aerial imagery, etc.). When you save your changeset, you can also select "Sources" in the "Add fields" box, which will allow you to record your sources. See osm.wiki/Good_change
3. If you're interested in improving the alignment of roads or paths in the UK, you should look at using the OSMUK Cadastral Parcels layer https://osmuk.org/cadastral-parcels/ as this provides lines that are perfectly aligned, making it easier to align the aerial imagery (I tend to use walls/fences in housing estates for the alignment).

truncated changeset comment: "improve both implicit and explicit sidewalk tags"

(no need for foot=no/bicycle=no/horse=no on service road tagged with access=no, see also osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#United_Kingdom - as highway=service not listed, there is no default access)

description truncated - should have ended: "split junction at Watery Lane/Bathingbourne Lane from survey August 2022 - it's a staggered junction and challenging when busy"

2. In this changeset, at the roundabout next to Boulton Drive, the node for Boulton Drive entrance/exit was merged with the Rose Kiln Lane exit. Different exits/entrances should have separate nodes, see junction=roundabout#Connecting_ways ("Do not directly connect approaching with departing roads"). I've split the nodes now.

Note that I am the source of the Mapillary footage around the crossings.
Regarding Boulton Road roundabout exit edit: junction=roundabout#The_roundabout_itself "Do not directly connect approaching with departing roads.

Roundabout with correct connections
Each way which intersects with the roundabout should be connected to it with a separate node. Two ways which enter and exit a roundabout should never connect to the same node on the roundabout. This is required to allow routing applications and software to provide correct directions, otherwise the routing software will not correctly recognise the roundabout. With a segment of the roundabout between the entrance and exit, routers can safely recognise that a section of the roundabout has to be driven through."

Hello again.

Could you add proper changeset comments, rather than just "sunbury updates", please? Ideally, you can also select "Sources" in the "Add field" box, then select one or more sources you used.
Changeset comments should say what you planned to achieve and/or what you changed (e.g. "aligned roads with OSMUK Cadastral Parcels" or "added crossings") and where you got the information from (e.g. "aerial imagery", "Mapillary", "I walked along this road today", etc.)

Sorry - this link is better: https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=4e239aa5-beef-43c4-9c5d-932962f67756&cp=51.335935%7E-0.761371&lvl=17.0&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027&style=x&dir=221.2&pi=-1.2

Also, the pavements are not shared use paths, so the tag wouldn't make sense anyway.
Finally, if you look at Bing Streetside, the blue sign allows buses, lorries, and bicycles.
