Hi again

Same comment as previous changesets - watch out for accidentally connecting things together. This one connected a 132kV electricity cable to a pond... bzzzzt!

I've disconnected it for you.

Hi

A few comments on this one - firstly, please can we have changeset comments? I keep an eye on changes local to me, and it's really useful to know what has changed and why; e.g. "Added cliffs after a survey". Blank or garbage comments tend to signal spammers and vandals, so if you're keen to help build the map, don't get yourself labelled like that!

Secondly, take care with what you're joining together - some of the nodes for this cliff got attached to the road. Seeing as the way for the road represents the centreline, a cliff overlaid on a road means one side of the road is at the top, and one side is at the bottom! Similarly with admin boundaries: generally, try not to attach physical things to them. Zoom in closer if nodes are accidentally getting glued to existing things.

Finally, the cliff itself. I'm not sure this really qualifies - it's steep, yes, but it's not a vertical drop. Also, doing it as an area implies the drop is all the way round the outside, which is clearly isn't. Maybe tagging it as natural=bare_rock would be better? See natural=cliff

But I see you're new. In which case - welcome to OpenStreetMap! Use the wiki to familiarise yourself with what's what; keep going (treading lightly at first), and above all, have fun building the map!

Cheers, Paul

Ha, no problem. There *are* some wacky house names out there, so I thought I'd ask just in case :-)

Hiya
I know this is two years late, but I've just spotted "Wnidy Ridge" at 165 Bishopthorpe Road. I'm assuming a typo, but just checking first!
Cheers, Paul.

Hi. I've tweaked your changes on this one. You changed highway=service to highway=bridleway and added access=no, which indicates the farmer isn't allowed to drive to his barns. I've put it back to highway=service (for the farm), added designation=public_bridleway (for the legal right-of-way status), removed access=no (because that's too harsh), kept/added =designated tags to signal horse, bicycle and foot access, and added motor_vehicle=private to keep the farmer happy. I think that describes it better.

Cheers, Paul.

Hi

I've noticed you're making a lot(!) of access changes all over the place at the moment. Not entirely sure what your intention is with a lot of them.

This one for example - it was marked as a bridleway, which implies horse=designated, foot=yes, bicycle=yes and motor_vehicle=no (see highway=bridleway )

You've added access=no and horse=designated. If your intention was to make it non-routable for motor vehicles, that's unnecessary because it's already implied, and instead you've blocked routing for pedestrians and bicycles.

access=no also has a side-effect of desaturating/greying out markings on the main map render, so is best used only when 'no-or-mostly-no access' really is what you're trying to convey.

Cheers, Paul.

I've reverted the change to 30mph on Denbigh Drive. This was previously correct at 20mph.

Reverted - see discussion at changeset/105094684

No. Eastbound it's NSL here, but westbound it's 50mph. I drove it last Wednesday, with cameras running. Link in the last comment is to a photo of mine taken last month showing the 50mph sign in position; it was still there last week (just waiting for Mapillary to publish the newer photos and then you can have a link to that, too).

It's also spelled out in legislation: The M4 Motorway (Junction 28 (Tredegar Park) to Junction 24 (Coldra)) (50 mph Speed Limit) Regulations 2021 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/wsi/2021/101/made - section (a) of the schedule: "The length of the westbound carriageway from a point 675 metres west of the centre line of the Bishton to Llanmartin overbridge to a point 80 metres west of the centre point of Forge Road underbridge."

What's your source that disagrees with this?

Hi. This changeset moved one corner of Mill Farm several fields away - assume this was accidental; I've put it back where it was.

Cheers, Paul.

Hi. This changeset moved the telephone box bookcase some distance - I assume that was accidental, and have put it back where it was.

Cheers, Paul.

Hi

Thanks for the heads-up, but no, I can confirm the 50mph westbound starts where the motorway crosses the stream near Underwood. Here's a Mapillary image: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=YfO5XVeb88AAvjatrVfmqt&focus=photo (rear-facing from the other carriageway; there's a better one taken from the other side but it's still uploading...)

I'll revert.

Hi. Have tidied up a little for you; hope I've captured what you were trying to achieve!

102519310 over 4 years ago

This changeset also deleted a section of Pant Road and disconnected NCN4 (national cycle network). I've reverted these bits.

102519310 over 4 years ago

Hi. Just looking at the houses you've added to Edward Street and Gwladys Street here - these are all terraced houses, so they should all join up; furthermore, the houses on the east side of Edward Street seem to have been traced over the back gardens, completely missing the houses themselves.
Cheers

And just to complete the set, I've reverted this one too, as it added a new office in a field half way to the A417, when your office is already on the map by the mini-roundabout at the top (and it turned the whole of Shurdington Road into a bridge).

Cheers,

Paul (southglos)

102488328 over 4 years ago

Hi again. I've reverted this changeset too, as it added a new node over the top of 5 Bath Street, when the office is already correctly mapped at 29-30 on the other side of the road (unless you've moved, in which case let me know!)

Cheers,

Paul (southglos)

Following on from my note in changeset/102486331 I've trimmed the name field on this - great that you've changed the typo in it, but it's marked as an estate agents, and it's in Tewkesbury, so there's no need to add "Tewkesbury Estate Agents" to the end.

Actually, last time I drove past, your signage said "Peter Ball & Co" - if that's still the case, it might be better to name it that.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi, and welcome to OpenStreetMap. I can see you've tried to add locations of your offices to the map, but a lot of collateral damage has happened (including eradicating a chunk of the A40).

I've reverted this changeset to put things back to how they were, and I'll have a look at the other changesets that also seem to have made unintended modifications to things.

Take care when editing, but remember you can always undo changes if you make a mistake (as everyone does).

Changeset comments are intended for other mappers, and should be details of what you changed and why, e.g. "Added estate agents based on local knowledge"; they're not marketing opportunities! We also try and avoid spam in the map data itself - it's great if you want to improve the map by making sure your offices are all included, but stick to the bare details and avoid making it an advert.

Cheers,

Paul (southglos)
