Hi
These changes are a bit out of step with the consensus of the UK community.
Please could you confirm the source of these changes?
Have you been here? and did you observe signs such as "Kennet and Avon canal towpath"?
A name is an actual name and if my satnav directs me to use a named way I would expect to see a sign confirming that. The name tag should not be used for descriptions.
Being more specific way/2685 56695/history was mapped as a cycleway for many years until you changed it. It is also not the canal towpath, its a bit difficult to pull a boat from 3m above n'est pas?
The actual towpath is at the canal level and is also mapped.
Highway=path is a bit of a late comer in OSM terms and is rarely used in the UK.

Alwyn, a cycleway is not exclusively for cycling, foot access is allowed too.

Hi, this seems to be tagging for the renderer. The Glastonbury Festival is not a town, it is an annual event which we do not map in OSM. We only map feature which exist at all times.

Hi
This is a private shared driveway, it looks too narrow for a residential road.
Survey confirmed see http://trigpoint.myzen.co.uk/photodump/MarshMeadowClose.jpg
It is a narrow gap between houses, kerb/pavement crossed. Service items such as water stop tap covers which are at the edge of private property also confirm this.

A bit of a followup
This was taken looking from Rowan Road.

It is clearly a shared parking/access area for those properties. Its is clearly not a public highway.
And for completeness from Drovers Close

The residential road ends at this point, beyond that the narrow service road can be seen. Certainly not something I would drive into without prior knowledge of turning places.

I have not been here, but clearly a private car park for a business. So more a parking aisle with private access.

This looks like a new build, so correctly mapped as residential. Too new to be on our opendata tiles.

Why have you deleted Porthcawl, a rugby pitch and some traffic lights?

71155712 over 6 years ago

Why have you deleted these objects?
A residential area?
A church?

Hi, welcome to OSM.
It always concerns me when a new users first contribution to OSM is to delete objects that other mappers have taken the time to add. Please can you explan why you have deleted these tracks and farmyards?
Also it is helpful to other mappers if changeset comments are meaningful, dvr used doesn't tell me anything about your intentions.

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Please remember that OSM is a live database and anything added will be available to all users immediately. Please only add genuine data, not test data. A wood is never a single node and is clearly wrong in this location so I am reverting this edit.
Please continue to edit, but only add things that exist on the ground.
Cheers Phil

Hi, thank you for your edit however you have added your business in the middle of the road, which is a bit unlikely.
I am removing this but as long as it is verifiable, has visible signage, then please add it back in its correct position.
Cheers Phil

I would just draw the loop, it is private land so there is no formal turning loop.
Cheers Phil

71135704 over 6 years ago

Hi, yes simply add the turning loop although as its private there will not be any oneway needed.

Cheers Phil

Thank you.
However you should have something on your profile that explains what you are doing and links to your wiki page. As do Amazon, Kaart, Mapbox etc.
At the point of asking the first question I had no idea your edits fell within the organised editing policy.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edit however it has gone a bit wrong.
The restriction was mapped about two years ago, and whilst maybe a bollard or short section of cycleway should be added motor vehicles will not be instructed to turn between New College Road and Wenlock Road as there are turn restriction relations which allow bikes.
There is no ban on motor vehicles using New College Road.
Please do not SHOUT.
I have reverted this and added the bollards/cycleway although was a bit puzzled as to how to accurately map what is lowered kerb to allow bikes to cross the pavement and the mapped turn restriction had made that not a priority.

Hi, a mini roundabout is a bit of an odd thing to map at the end of a private driveway?

Please reply using the changeset comment feature to keep discussions visible to the community.
PM recieved
"Here’s all you need to know about Tidbo. www.tidbo.com"

However that does not explain what #tidbo has to do with editing OSM but it does suggest that you should be following the directed editing policy.

What does TIDBO mean?

Hi, please could you keep your changes to smaller areas, at least single countries. This covers most of the planet and is hard to see where the changes are.
