The only public roads you are not allowed to walk on are motorways and where specifically signed.

I assume you are talking about the roads in Warwickshire in this case? Although imho the rights of way make a far nicer walk :)

Thank you.

All roads and paths are highways :)

And the A5 is a very a very ancient one. Removing highway rights is generally no done. We have a saying "Once a highway always a highway" which was coined in 1921. Roads with restricted access are mostly new builds which have never had foot/bicycle/horse access rights.

Thank you.
To the east there is a path cyclists and pedestrians, but any router worth its salt will choose this over the road, but to the west there is no alternative. A pedestrian will choose the verge obviously.

In OSM we map legal access restrictions, not what we think are dangerous.

These restrictions should be removed.

Hi Greg
Diolch for your edits on Ynys Môn, however in this and your other changesets you have tagged buildings a landuse=farmyard. This tag should only be used on the outer boundary of a farmyard.

Please could you correct this and bear in mind in the future.

Hi
Something has gone very wrong, you have added strange tags (man_made=planter material=shea butter) to many objects spanning two continents. I am not sure what your intentions were but this is not good.

Maybe try using iD as a beginner and keep to reality in a smaller area.

I have reverted this changeset.

It is rather unlikely that these roads are still 30 don't you think?

148203638 almost 2 years ago

Why?
Other than my previous comments regarding one name then use the name tag.
Mapio Cymru has a maximum zoom of 16.
On OSM Carto will not start to display this node until zoom 17, then only as a dot. The name does not appear until zoom 18 which Mapio Cymru is not (yet?) capable of.

Adding English names to the name:cy tag does seem to be corrupting that tag. In openstreetmap if an object has a single name then it belongs in the name tag.

Likewise for Tesco and Burger King. So not sure what you are trying to achieve with these edits, they seem to be diminishing Welsh names rather than enhancing them.

Now if there was a law to rebrand Burger King as Burger y Brennin then I would be all for it.

Please keep your changesets to sensible areas, i.e. single countries.

This has created a large changeset with a bounding box covering most of Europe which makes it difficult for mappers to spot what has changed in their local areas.

Hi
Legal prohibitions of foot/horse/bikes are very rare in the UK.

I cannot recall any such restriction on this part of the A5 and cannot see the necessary signs of mapillary imagery.

You say Self Observered, what precisely did you observe to make this judgement?

Cheers Phil

Is there a ramp or is this only for the super fit?

Also please make your changeset comments meaningful so as to describe to other mappers what and why you are changing things.

Cheers Phil

I have completely reverted these changes in changeset/148348284

148125376 almost 2 years ago

iD is not a suitable tool for reverting this number of changes. I did say we can revert these as we have experience with more powerful tools.

Please do try reverting them with iD, I am in the process of doing a revert and am working through the conflicts caused by later edits, I am trying to avoid loosing later changes.

Cheers Phil

148125376 almost 2 years ago

We can revert the changes.

It is obviously possible to do your own survey of such things or add them from your own local knowledge.

Cheers Phil

Fair use of facts is an American concept. OSM is a UK organisation and in the UK we have a laws on database rights. Taking information on the scale you have from a database on this scale is not fair use. CAMRA have spent time and effort collecting these facts and under UK law this effort is protected.

@TJ@Trapeze
You should not change OSM tagging to suit your software as that is likely to break other peoples applications.

If your software cannot use a service road then it suggests that your software is broken and needs to be fixed.

"to support upstream system" suggests this is some sort of organised edit. You may need to comply withhttps://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Organised_Editing_Guidelines

What upstream system are you refering ?to?

148125376 almost 2 years ago

That would also say to me that we cannot use whatpub and I believe this, very long, list of edits require reverting/redacting.

148278156 almost 2 years ago

Ok, thank you.

Hi
Access=no is still present after your edit.
