Hi!

bicycle=use_sidepath shouldn't be used in England as we don't have compulsory cycleways (bicycles are allowed on public highways except "special roads" - mostly motorways: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_road ) The Wiki article on use_sidepath says:-
"This tag should only be applied in countries that have compulsory cycleways."
bicycle=use_sidepath

Hi!

In this changeset, Rookes Way was set to access=permit - this is used where a permit is easy to apply for and is usually granted, but your comment was "No public access" suggesting that such a permit would be hard to obtain. Secondly, this section of road already has vehicle=no set, which would override the access=permit for vehicles (bicycles, cars, taxis, etc., but not buses due to the bus=yes tag), so this only leaves pedestrians as needing a permit to walk along here. I've set it back to bus=yes, emergency=yes, and vehicle=no - bus and emergency override the vehicle tag as they're more specific.

You might find the following useful:-
* access=permit?uselang=en-GB ("This tag should be used in cases where a permit is required, but is routinely granted to everyone requesting it")
* osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#United_Kingdom
* access=*#Land-based_transportation
* access=*#Land-based_transportation access=*#List_of_possible_values

Hi!

You've set Rookes Way to motor_vehicle=permissive. Perhaps you meant another tag - permissive means that anyone is allowed to use it, but without there being a legal right of way, but it looks like the only motor vehicles allowed to use this bit of road are buses, already covered by the bus=yes tag, and the motor_vehicle=permissive tag you added overrides the vehicle=no tag that was already present for all vehicles except non-motorised vehicles (but not for buses due to the explicit bus=yes tag).

You might find the following useful:-

* access=permissive
* access=*#Land-based_transportation access=*#List_of_possible_values
* osm.wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#United_Kingdom

someone modified some of the same relations at the same time, so some sections of road around Fernbank Road that I deleted weren't actually deleted, see my next changeset

changeset comment was truncated, should have ended: merge roads not physically segregated

last section of changeset comment was truncated from "merge sections of road not physically segregated"

oops - wrong changeset comment. I thought I had saved my changes already, noticed dangling service roads. This change was mainly to merge sections of road not physically segregated, and add lanes= and turn:lanes=

This pavement is also not marked as a cycleway in the Council's map (sometimes it shows pavements that are not actually signed as shared use, but there is nothing in this case)

See also changeset/44828512 which set maxspeed=30mph for Iberian Way based on survey

forgot to tick sources - OpenStreetMap Notes + survey

truncated from comment above: "add business details from memory, a note, and a photo"

also removed "service road" that was just a car park and replaced with amenity=parking

Hi!.

When you're editing OSM, could you add a meaningful changeset comment, please? These help other mappers to understand what changes you have made. You might want to look at osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Hello again.

in addition to access=private, the road should still be tagged as highway=service

Jon

Hi!

OpenStreetMap is supposed to record all roads, private or not. For private roads, e.g with gates, the tag access=private should be added, rather than deleting the road.

Jon

basically, cycling is forbidden through the Well Head

Hi!
The red-banded sign on this path forbids all cycling, so bicycle=yes is wrong: way/189050071#map=17/52.76640/-0.38107

accidental change to node/4369884539 reversed in changeset/129977850

Hi.
The golf course was replaced with a country park several years ago:-
"The second phase, which includes the former golf club car park at Ively Road, opened in December 2019 and offers access to a further 27 hectares of natural land opened up on the eastern side of the country park." (https://www.rushmoor.gov.uk/southwoodcountrypark)

Is this an example of what the article "Relations are not categories" (osm.wiki/Relations_are_not_categories) is talking about? The relations (osm.wiki/Relation) article has this:-

"Usage
Relations are used to model logical (and usually local) or geographic relationships between objects.

They are not designed to hold loosely associated but widely spread items."
