Hi Rogerc, thanks for your updates. The preferred way to map places is as a node in the centre of the settlement. This is because the boundary cannot always be verified and doesn't always match up with the main residential area. Reinstating the Gleaston hamlet node and removing the name from the residential area would probably be a good idea. :) place=hamlet

Not that I'm aware of. I was planning to add some maxspeeds for a different line using stations, levels crossings etc as a rough guide but this method probably won't work everywhere.

Nice edits! In case you didn't know, Network Rail have given us permission to copy data from NESA/the sectional appendix into OSM, which includes speed limits. osm.wiki/UKRail_Project http://archive.nr.co.uk/browseDirectory.aspx?root=&dir=%5csectional%20appendix%5cSectional%20Appendix%20full%20PDF%20copies

Nice one! Do any of them have names? I'd also be tempted to merge the Highgate shop nodes with the building outlines (the shops use both floors for either sales or stock/staff space).

Not sure if they're planning to include destination tagging, but hopefully support for lanes will be introduced in iD at some point https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/3822#issuecomment-277545127

According to someone who goes to Kendal College, the buses won't stop to drop off or pick up here, you have to use the stop at node/486598075

Although maybe this one will have some sort of permanent presence - it's open 4 part days each week. http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postoffice/branch/96428

I'm not sure whether we should map the "mobile" branches which only set up shop for a couple of mornings a week - they have no permanent presence and we don't map ice cream vans or yoga classes etc. If you are adding them the opening hours would be very useful - they're already in the correct syntax on the comparison tool so you can just copy and paste them. :)

I know that the college buses only use the northbound layby for all journeys; I think that the southbound 555 and X6 (and others) went via Lound Road to call at K Village a few years ago, but they might not do anymore, now that K Village is dead.

Following the above discussion, I've reverted this changeset in 56471405.

I don't know about those motorways, I was talking about A1508 and A167(M). Perhaps the road signs that say "A1508" and "A167(M)" (surveyed by OSMers) are incorrect, if the websites you mention are more reliable. But motorway_link should be used for sliproads, which is what these are.

Hi Greyseal18 and welcome to OSM.

I don't think that renumbering the motorway slip roads and changing them from highway=motorway_link to highway=motorway is entirely correct. The motorway sliproads were tagged A1508 and A167(M) because that's how they're labelled on the road signs. We tend to "map what's on the ground" through surveys (osm.wiki/Good_practice#Map_what.27s_on_the_ground) rather than take info from other maps and websites. Any questions just ask. I can revert this changeset for you if you like.

lakedistrict :)

Thanks, I'll do that at some point.

(Fixed in changeset/56384859)

Another village mapped! Just a few ideas: guest houses should probably have a name tag; you can map churchyards as landuse=churchyard (landuse=churchyard); names should be moved from residential areas to a place node. :)

Thanks! I'd probably go for addr:place over addr:street as I said in changeset/56348618, but I don't plan on making any changes given that a survey is probably needed first to update the businesses and fix their locations.

Also address data and OSSV suggests that the business parks are mapped wrong in OSM: note/1299774

Good point with the yards. It could probably do with being on the wiki though so it's use is more apparent.

OK. addr:place over addr:street is probably preferential (for the LDBP addresses) since "1 Mint Bridge Road" is a different address to "(Unit) 1 Lake District Business Park" and if they are both mapped as "1 Mint Bridge Road" they aren't differentiated.

Perhaps 'Lake District Business Park' could be moved to addr:place?
