Hi ndm, thanks for your explanation. It seems to me that you're conflating the physical occurrence of a structure (represented by building=*) with the activity / current use of the building. I don't think that it's a question of differing styles; the original proposal for the building=* tag clarifies this precise situation: see §Sub-divided buildings? in osm.wiki/Talk:Buildings. Here the distinct offices / shops can be mapped separately as office=* areas without a building=* tag. After your changes, by amending the original building=* way to just represent the name=Civitanivi part, it reads as if the other 3 parts were demolished and reconstructed with only this part retained. The alternative of using the Simple 3D Buildings method (not indoor tagging) would still retain a way for the entire building with the role=outline.

Hi ndm, why have you split this building into 4? As far as I can see it's a single building with four units contained, so would be best retained as a single building with multiple entrances and the various businesses mapped to single nodes within the area of the building. If, in the future, someone updates a change to the building (e.g name=*), they'd now have to change all four instances instead of just the one.

Yeah, you're right. It's signed as Google shows it. I was focusing on geometry with these changes. You're right, the tagging is excessive! It could do with a tidy up as you suggest. Am I right in understanding the bus and psv tags overrule the motorvehicle tag, so it does show buses can use it as it's tagged? (Albeit in a very messy way!)

Brill, thank you

Cheers, looks like I'll have to do the same for the EV1 route when I get back to JOSM today. That'll teach me for trying to use Vespucci!

Hi, are you an official for Boomtown?
As I understand it, OSM isn't the place for hosting temporary events (see osm.wiki/Good_practice#Don't_map_temporary_events_and_temporary_features)
Looking at the Glastonbury site as an example, only the paths, fieldnames and permanent structures are mapped

Hi, nice to see the Three Queens development finally on the map. Any reason you've modeled it as separate buildings?

I know it's a little old now, but all of these addr:housename=Paintworks tagged addr:substreet=Paintworks, shouldn't they?

Hi Simon,
Loving your effort of adding separate pavements around here and Totterdown. Would you mind also updating the roads from sidewalk=both to sidewalk:both=separate (or :left/right where relevant) once you've made the improvements? If I understand it correctly, that should push routers to use them, and reduce the plethora of dotty lines on some renderers! :D

Sorry, I wasn't very clear there in my last point! I meant why did you choose to change it from a highway=footway to a *=cycleway? I didn't mean to question adding either foot=* or bicycle=* (as appropriate), just the primary highway=* tag.
I'm finding a lot of preference for using highway=cycleway on shared pavements, but legally the cyclist has to give way to pedestrians so makes a lot more sense in my mind to keep them as highway=footway, footway=sidewalk,bicycle=yes/designated,segregated=no. It more accurately represents both de facto and de jure statuses, and helps to promote cycle infrastructure (no evidence here!) by not overstating the density of cycleways.
On this example specifically, there aren't any signs that this portion is a shared pavement, and indeed the open data just says it's a quiet road recommended for cyclists, so probably worth reverting it unless you know something else? I'm happy to do it bundled in with other junction modifications if you're not bothered about it?

Hi, RyanBush, Would it be appropriate to add your work here into the River Avon relation?

Hi Adam, it's a little while since this edit, but I've picked up your fixme on way/521614195. It's only a footway=sidewalk, without cycle designation along this stretch so it was mapped correctly previously.
As for the cycle map you used as a source, is that the open access dataset off opendata.bristol.gov.uk? If so, I've found it to be seriously out of date and missing loads of information so I'd use it with a fistful of salt!
On a general point, what's your thinking behind changing pavements (footways) to cycleways? Surely their primary function is as a pedestrian "sidewalk" with cycle designation added, ie: highway=footway;footway=sidewalk;bicycle=yes/designated;segregated=no ? Mapping them as cycleways surely overstates the provision for cyclists, no?

Hi, Joseph2541,
I've just moved the neighbouring carpark back to it's correct position after I found it mistakenly dragged on to Gloucester Road.
I was also going to correct a few things here but thought I'd reach out first: the smallest parking area is actually a service road to the middle and SW (currently unmapped) car parks. The convention re. engratnances is for them to go on the buildings and to use barrier=entrance for a gap in the wall as it is here (although it's not common to use).
See the wiki on entrance=* for some guidance

Super, thanks for checking

159771454 10 months ago

Ah, OK. I'm not familiar with StreetComplete yet, but the OSM.org website shows the items included in the changeset when you click on the version history link at the bottom of the sidebar. I'm referring to your changes to Victoria St (191318878, v11 & 1311021375, v2) made 3 months ago.
If it is an error, don't worry about fixing it - I'm about to make some changes to the map re. the bus lane so can revert it then.

159771454 10 months ago

Hi Simon,
Are you sure you meant to tag Victoria St with only one lane each way, and no lane markings? The markings are faded, but evident and there is a bus lane for much of the SE-bound length.

This will likely test your memory, but why is Queen's Road not named with an apostrophe here?
way/36996687/
The signage and OSOpenRoads both show it with its apostrophe.

Hi, I've generally moved the cycleways on to the roads' ways to better reflect the real world. I understand the stretch over the bridge and along Passage St is an advisory lane by its dashed lines.
As for the first stretch of Counterslip, you're right, I should have tagged that as exclusive going NE rather than advisory now that I look at my photos again. I'll make that change along with anything else local mappers might query.

Hi,

Yes, you're quite right. I can't think of why I changed used those tags on that occasion - thanks for pointing it out. I'll change them back shortly.
