Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong.
When using tools such as maproulette it is important not to take their suggestions too literally.
You have added wikidata tags for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesco_Corporation to the Tesco petrol station, which is clearly an error. Especially since you managed to add the correct tags to the corresponding supermarket.
Also please do not override tags that have been added by local mappers. Most Subway outlets are fast food, however this one is different and was correctly tagged as cafe.
Cheers Phil

Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong.

This is not a public residential road, but a private driveway. Please could you correct it.

Oneway=yes is redundant on roundabouts, junction=roundabout implies that. However oneway=yes is neither wrong, nor harmful. A changeset that simply removes that tag is pointless and should be avoided unless some other change which adds value is being carried out,

Hi
Horsley Lane was previously tagged as a public bridleway, which indicates that it does not have public motor vehicles access rights and hence cannot be highway=unclassified.

It should be highway=service with motor_vehicle=private.

A school is not a public place, access is covered by safeguarding issues.

Permission is implied for postal deliveries and the fact an item has been ordered for delivery is an invite to access the private areas.

Destination means anyone who wants to go there can, which in the case of a school is clearly false.

When a destination is specified that is private the router will ask for confirmation that you have permission, so providing a properly configured router is being used private will not cause a problem.

Why have you removed access=private from these ways. School grounds are private, you cannot be here without permission.
Please restore these tags.

Hi, this edit has gone very little wrong.

Highway=unclassified implies a public road, that with be surfaced.

This is certainly not a public unclassified road, it is a farm access track which ends at the farm and does not continue over the field at the southern end.

Why have also removed the legal designation that indicates that this is a right of way only on foot? This is valuable information that mappers have gathered by going there and surveying.

Please restore the existing tags split at the appropriate point and retag as highway=track with motor_vehicle=private and foot=destignated.

There is no Burger King in the middle of a housing estate, adding misleading objects can damage the reputation of OSM.

Please only add what exists in real life.

Hi, welcome to OSM. In OSM we map what exists on the ground. Changing a house that another mapper had mapped correctly, to some thing it is not is considered vandalism.

I am reverting both of your changesets.

Hi Joshua
This edit looks a bit odd, have these barriers been removed and there is no longer a height restriction here?

Spam removed, I doubt your business is in the middle of the road. It needs to be verifiable and location does not match address on website.

Hi, not sure if you are still active but some of your tags are causing issues and confusion to map users.
For example you have tagged Friars Close with motor_vehicle=no, this seems unlikely as it would prevent residents reaching their properties. What was the source of this tagging?

I should also add that the speed limit will be either 20mph or 30mph, it is certainly not 30kph. Also a speed limit very odd thing to add to a road in the same changeset that you have added motor_vehicle=no,

Hi Kaylan
I would think so, if motor vehicles were not allowed people would not be able to reach their houses.
Also looking at other roads mapped as access=private the tag does not make sense, For example Hall Orchard leads to a public footpath, indicating it as a minimum a right of way on foot. Also Windy Arbour is a public footpath, again making the access=private tag wrong.

Hi Tony
Thank you for your useful edit.

Rather than add a second top level tag to an objects like this it is often better to add a second simple post office node within the building.

This allows for different opening hours and makes it far easier to find the object they are interested in.

In this case I would have put the costcutter tags on the building, and added a separate post office tag.

The private tagging of this and other roads in Cheadle goes back a long way, all were added by one mapper who has not been active for 5 years.
Private access does seem a bit odd, and it was added with no explanation.
Will add some notes to see if a passing mapper, maybe me, can see any actual evidence for these tags.

Sorry oneway arrows are here https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=c9193494-9048-44b4-9920-863c5674bf45&cp=51.461758802222164~-2.5236010587254896&lvl=19&dir=0&pi=12.94129&style=x&mo=z.0&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027&setMkt=en-US

Looking at the signage on bing streetside, there is no oneway here.
There are no entry signs, which means you cannot enter from Two Mile Hill Road. This situation could simply be mapped using turn restrictions.

For Kingsway Avenue to actually be oneway there would need to be blue signs with white arrows, which are not present here.
