Access restrictions in OpenStreetMap reflect verifiable legal restrictions, which in the UK for foot=no requires a traffic order and a "pedestrians prohibited" sign (TSRGD diagram 625.1 - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UK_traffic_sign_625.1.svg ). There is no such thing as a "cars only restriction".

Pedestrians in the UK use highways by absolute right unless explicitly prohibited.

Access restrictions in OpenStreetMap reflect legal restrictions, not matters of opinion.

Although walking along Blackfriars Underpass may not seem an attractive proposition, there are no signs explicitly prohibiting it and therefore no prohibition. Pedestrians are explicitly prohibited by signs at both ends of the Upper Thames Street tunnels, but not elsewhere on the A3211.

There does not appear to be either a signed pedestrian prohibition here, or a gate. If the road is not a public highway (not maintainable at public expense), then ownership=private might apply - see ownership=private

In what sense in Bessborough Gardens, which appears to be a public park operated by Westminster City Council, private?

Hi Wendy and Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I note that you have added a lot of foot=no access restrictions with the changeset comment "cars only".

Access restrictions in OpenStreetMap reflect verifiable legal restrictions, which in the UK for foot=no requires a traffic order and a "pedestrians prohibited" sign (TSRGD diagram 625.1 - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:UK_traffic_sign_625.1.svg ). There is no such thing as a "cars only restriction".

I will revert all of your incorrect changes in order to prevent your misunderstanding of the law from corrupting pedestrian routing services.

Changing a signed shared cycleway on the pavement to highway=footway without access tags allowing cycling isn't "adding detail", it's deliberate and malicious vandalism.

Please don't change roads to highway=construction for short duration roadworks. Not all routing software updates daily or even weekly, so the impact of changes like this can extend for longer than the road closure.

You could use a conditional restriction to implement a future road closure of known duration, see osm.wiki/Conditional_restrictions

@NeisBot actually reverted by @BCNorwich

If it's a private driveway, access=private makes more sense than access=no. The name tag is for the actual name of an object, but there's a description tag which can be used.

The petrol station area isn't a building and it isn't subterranean (layer=-1).

When iD tells you that a highway crosses a building, it should be asking you to fix the error, not hide it by adding an incorrect layer tag.

In this case, the error was the building=retail tag which you added. The fix was to remove it.

Thanks. Looking at the Bing aerial and street side imagery, the 5 mph limit and informal zebra crossings indicate that it's not a public highway. Despite this, it still appears to be officially called Ossory Road from its Designated Street Name USRN. I've updated it and tweaked a few other things nearby in changeset/162781378

It may take a couple of weeks before cycle routing software "knows" about either of our edits, depending on how often they update.

Thanks for adding this. I suspect that the privately owned service roads within Glengall Business Centre should be tagged with access=destination + ownership=private. That should prevent routing software from using it as a short cut between Old Kent Road/Ossory Road and Glengall Road. Assuming you're more familiar with the area than me, does that sound like a reasonable description of access there?

access=destination

What is Bluestar and is their licence compatible with OpenStreetMap?

(Review requested)

For this layby, it would probably be better to add it as an area next to the A20, tagged with amenty=parking + parking=layby. You could also add parking:left=separate to the adjacent section of the A20.

The service road you've added is not physically segregated, so wouldn't usually be added as a separate way. It also has a oneway restriction in the wrong direction.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for helping to keep Access Self Storage's branches up to date.

Just a couple of minor points - addr:housename is for a distinct building name rather than a partial duplication of the address, phone numbers should be in international format (+44 20 31312794) and there's a branch tag you can use.

osm.wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom
phone=*
branch=*

I'm not sure if you're already using it, but there is a map overlay available in the iD editor you're using, "OSMUK Cadastral Parcels", showing Land Registry parcels. It can sometimes be quite helpful for some land boundaries and alignment.
