Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding your business.

I've added the tag office=accountant so that data consumers know what type of map feature this is. I've also tweaked the address and phone tags to fit OSM conventions.

At least one of which was added as an isolated node, which is no use to anyone.

Unfortunately, motor_vehicle=designated means "designated for use by all motor vehicles at all times".

The short segment of Parliament Street doesn't have any signed vehicle restrictions and doesn't really need access tags in OSM. There are turn restrictions in place which mean it can only be reached by buses approaching from Bridge Street turning right and cycles heading straight on from Parliament Square traffic island.

Unfortunately, you blocked pedestrians routing by setting access=no here.

The signage here is TSRGD diagram 953 "Route for use by buses, pedal cycles and taxis only". As UK traffic signs generally only apply to vehicles, this translates to OSM access tagging as:
vehicle=no + bicycle=yes + bus=yes + taxi=yes

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for updating your details. That looks fine to me.

Updated to match signage in changeset/164901026

There's still a bus=yes access tag on each segment, so this shouldn't have any impact on your routing.

Apologies, I see you expanded the abbreviation in ref=*, not prow_ref=*

Thanks for fixing this. PSV gets misused a lot as a synonym for bus+taxi, but doesn't mean that in the UK.

I've made a few other tweaks, as that section of Station Road/Poplar Road had acquired some "interesting" tagging over the last 10 years. Some of it may have made sense at the time, others like highway=living_street look a lot like tagging for the renderer. This shouldn't have any impact on you as bus=yes is still there, but please let me know if you notice any problems.

Is it really a "correction" when you break the tools which consume prow_ref, like https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/progress/essex/uttlesford/aythorpe-roding/

We've got an established format for the key here prow_ref=*

164875085 9 months ago

Unfortunately, using your own preferred format for prow_ref breaks things like https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/progress/essex/uttlesford/great-dunmow/

Although the iD editor you're using provides drop down boxes suggesting that all the access values should be filled in, that really isn't necessary here. That's not your fault, it's poor design.

If you have a highway=footway, that implies access of foot=yes + (everything else)=no

Adding access=yes to highways is usually wrong, as it means that all modes of transport have a legal right to use that highway. More specific access tags override that, so the (otherwise unnecessary) motor_vehicle=no takes precedence. The horse="not specified" and bicycle="not specified" tags will likely be ignored by routing software, as "not specified" won't be understood by routing software and access=yes might take precedence.

access=*

By converting Eden Dock (Middle Dock) to a multipolygon with the piers as inner members, you have effectively turned them into islands, which they are not.

I've restored the dock's extent in changeset/164884805

These roads are visible in aerial imagery as under construction and are in use by construction vehicles. Some even have clearly visible road markings.

If your navigation software is so broken that it cannot process access=no (this should be actually be access=private), that is not a valid reason to delete objects from OSM.

I have reverted your changeset and made a few other changes.
- the roads to the south of The Boulevard have been changed from highway=proposed + proposed=* to use a lifecycle namespace as proposed:highway=*
- changed access=no to access=private in most cases

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding your business. I've tweaked the tagging a little. I've also added The Angel Inn.

Good luck. I think you've done everything you reasonably can.

For different routing services, it can take a while before they "know" about updates. Although the default OSM Carto tiles update in minutes, it can be as long as several weeks, depending on how often they update. For example, when I use Komoot to plan running routes, it's typically a fortnight before changes are "live". With delivery drivers using satnavs, you also have to hope that they're receiving updates at all.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I don't think people trying to access Fox Talbot Close via Epping Close is due to people using routing services based on OSM data, as he roads aren't connected in OSM.

That said, I've made a few tweaks, including changing Fox Talbot Close to a (private) residential street - it's not just a service road or driveway. I've also split it at the gate, so the stub between Baker Street and the gate is routeable. Adding vehicle=private to the gated portion wasn't necessary, as the access=* tag applies to all transport modes.

It may take a few weeks for changes to propagate to routing software.

Thanks! Barking & Dagenham tends to get a little neglected.

A lot was added from GPS traces during the initial phase and Mapillary images I took in Oct 2019. Another user added some more recent imagery in Jun 2024, which might be of some use.

I'm not sure what "cordic routing" is, but this section of Elmfield Road is clearly signed as being for bicycles, buses and taxis. Please don't add incorrect data to the map.
