the test track built to motorway standard is not a motorway in of itself. See the M96 at the Fire Service College as another example.

Will need to edit relation due to the southbound off-slip being closed per a recent survey. I'm not familiar with the bus route, is there a diversion through Iwade?

Thanks! Sorry for not fixing them earlier.

From my perspective, it doesn't really matter because the crossover has access=no tags like the Dartford Crossing. The moveable barrier should be treated like a gate; it's permissive.

I have opened the OSM Community Forum discussion here:
https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/a420-oxford-dispute/118265

> Mapping what is actually on the ground, over what is defined legally on paper, is a founding principle of OSM
> Legal classification and national consistency are not powerful enough arguments to change it.

Other towns and cities in the UK (including London) which feature roads of a similar standard to the A420 are tagged per the OSM Wiki page; for the A420 to be the sole exception to this guideline, in my view, is strange.

I will move the discussion to the OSM Community Forum and notify talk-GB to invite the wider community to participate in the discussion; thank you for raising this point!

Best regards

Agreed with Nathan. I fail to see how tagging the A420 as highway=tertiary could improve the map.

Hey Nathan,

Thanks for the feedback. While it's been a while since I've touched this area of Oxford, I have to agree with you. I'm not sure why there's consensus to map this section of the A420 differently than the rest of the UK and I would like someone familiar with this section of the A420 to explain why there's an exception for this road in particular.

Best regards

Thanks so much! The ways I edited all had parking restrictions (no stopping) on both sides as far as I know so there shouldn’t be an issue. Enjoy mapping too!

Sorry, but I’m on mobile right now and won’t have access to my PC for a few days and GO Map isn’t making it easy for me to change the tags. I’d really appreciate it if you could do the changes for me if possible. Thanks so much!

Hi,
Parking is disallowed on both sides of each carriageway; I’ll change it now. Thank you for the kind notice too; I didn’t know you needed to specify what side(s) of the carriageway have parking restrictions!

Hi,

Please don't erroneously tag land uses with highway=* tagging. I have reverted this change in the changeset linked below.

Thank you! I forgot to check the tags when copying and pasting.

Hi Nickinkent,

Please be careful when modifying way geometry, particularly that of major transport links like railways. I have fixed the problem in the changeset linked below.

Thank you. I stand by my assessment that this was a good edit and shouldn’t be reverted. The global spanning changeset is justifiable imo though it could be split up into smaller ones if it’s that big of an issue.

Personally, I think that this mechanical edit was a good and bold one and should not be reverted. The reasoning jan-leila gave perfectly justifies the mechanical edit. However, some editors need to stop spamming changesets with "keep it local" without good cause to do so, i.e. mechanical edits that edit a couple of objects across different continents. That's to do with geographical size. This is to do with the mechanical edits of conduct.

Thank you,
Yasslay

Bonjour,

Si la majorité de vos modifies sont en France, ensuite gardez-les en France s'il te plaît et faire les modifies en Angleterre dans un modification séparée.

Merci beaucoup,
