Hi

Have just noticed this has "*Ringtail* Cottage" and "*Ringtale* Lodge" next to each other. Presumably they should match; do you know which is the correct one (I'm guessing Ringtail)?

Cheers

[...checks profile...] yeah, you know what you're doing - I'll go away :-)

Hi, and sorry for the slightly sarky changeset comment :-)

I get paranoid when I see changeset comments about aligning to imagery, as in the past I've had painstakingly-aligned areas "corrected" to match badly (sometimes *really* badly) misaligned imagery. If in doubt, I start by aligning nearby junctions to the OS Streetview imagery, then matching the imagery to that.

Nice going on the mapping; looks like some interesting changes happening round there.

Cheers,

Paul

[Looks at user info]... Ah! And welcome to OpenStreetMap!

Hi

Thanks for adding that missing section of the junction. Looking at Mapillary†, it appears to be just a simple one-way section; if that's still the case, I'd suggest just tagging it oneway=yes and avoiding all the complicated turn restrictions. Any objections?

Cheers,

Paul (southglos)

This has deleted the whole Wenvoe transmitter site; reverted in changeset/72493526.

If this is vandalism, please stop. If these are mistakes, perhaps ask for help before doing much more - there are plenty of people who can advise, and plenty of sources of help available.

Hi

Ta for the collection times updates, but note that 'lamp' refers to a type of postbox, not what it's mounted on: post%20box:type=*?uselang=en-GB#Values_in_use_in_United_Kingdom

I'll stick the lamp tag back.

Cheers

Hi

Several questions about this changeset - you've deleted a school and replaced it with woodland, and have deleted playgrounds and suchlike, all of which still appear to exist on the latest imagery. Can you explain, please?

Also, changeset comments are supposed to describe what you've done to the map. Most of yours seem to be "dvr used", which I don't understand, and I'm really not sure what "dvr harddrive fault" is all about?

Are these genuine changes, mistakes while editing, or should I revert?

Hi

Can you explain the 800x600 etc? Curious.

Cheers.

Also, the building height includes the roof; you can't have a 4m-high building with a 13m-high roof.

Er, that's 200m taller than the Shard, and would make this the tallest building in the UK by quite some margin.

No idea where that 0.75 comes from. If it's 2-storey (plus roof), as a usual house would be, it's building:levels=2. A 100-storey skyscraper would be 100, not 75.

See
building:levels=*
and
osm.wiki/Simple_3D_buildings

I'm also curious - if you're not familiar with the area, does that mean this is all being done from aerial imagery? In which case, how do you know how many floors there are in each building?

I note you've added buildings for Woodlands Park and Ottrells Mead, with building:levels=1.5 on everything.

Woodlands Park is (static) mobile-home-type buildings, single storey (building:levels=1); Ottrells Mead is two-storey houses (building:levels=2).

If you've not surveyed or have photos of the area, by all means trace the buildings, but please don't add information you don't have. Better to leave the field blank so someone else can see it's something we don't know, and add the info later.

Hi

There's a lot of building:levels=1.5 on what I would guess are normal 2-storey houses; is that intentional?

Cheers

True, and point taken, but I think on the balance of probabilities that it's more likely that when all the surrounding (and more major) roads got changed to 20mph that this bit was missed out during the retagging, rather than it actually being a 30mph cul-de-sac with a 50km/h service spur surrounded by 20mph roads.

And, not a permissible source, but...

https://www.bristol20mph.co.uk/wp-content/maps/Phase-1-Central-Sept-2016.pdf

Genuine question: if you know where to find Bristol's made TROs, please let me know, because blowed if I can find them and they'd be useful in this situation. Surely they should be online somewhere, or do they still just stick them in a newspaper and that's it?

Feel free to change back if the 20mph assumption offends. I'll verify next time I'm doing a Mapillary pass.

Duplicates some existing buildings?

Hi

I've actually just gone round this bit with the cameras running, so you beat me to it!

Probably a bit late now, but feel free to make use of the photos to add detail etc: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=51.59253339287973&lng=-2.4815562274330123&z=17&pKey=fqepk8V219WUp5Ul6sGqTw&focus=photo

Ditto for anywhere else I've been and not caught up with the mapping :-)

Cheers

15:24 seems oddly precise for a collection time?

Have found some news pictures of the signage - they are indeed marked as no-motor-vehicles-except rather than no-entry-except, so will update tagging accordingly.

Indeed; hence foot=yes on all of these, except yes, I missed out Clarence Parade. I've put that in now, so pedestrian and bicycle routing should all be correct.

Agree vehicle=no would do the job too, except possibly for the question of horses. (vehicle=no is functionally equivalent to access=no,foot=yes,horse=yes)

Can you legally ride a horse through a no-entry sign? Generally bicycles and horses are treated similarly in road law, so I'd expect not, but curiosity piqued now, much Googling ahead...

And a survey is definitely needed to figure out what's happened to adjoining roads - we've now got several one-ways into or out of effective dead ends, which can't be right :-)
