Hi,

Why did you separate the A226 into two separate ways? I don't think this is the case on the ground, no?

Best regards,

Please don't apologise! I did the same with roads around Edinburgh at one point in my career, lol. The Wiki oftentimes doesn't have documentation of the consensus but you can usually find it or start a discussion on the OSM Community Forum to find the consensus. As far as I know, we tag test tracks as highway=service no matter the standard they're built to for navigational and aesthetic reasons.

I'd just like to add that I mainly relied upon cross-referencing the general arrangement diagrams with OSM rather than the CGI flythroughs.

It is from the CGI flythroughs and general arrangement diagrams, however, I have made sure that the layout is reflected as closely as possible on OSM by cross referencing the data with OSM itself (not overlaying it, identifying key points, e.g. curves, and aligning it in reference to the existing geometry) Are there any other questions you’d like to ask? I would also like to add that, if the material is incompatible with OSM due to copyright reasons, then please feel free to revert. I believe that it should be though, however, I am not certain so feel free to check.

Sorry for the chopped off comment above. I have reverted the changes you've made to the map in this changeset for the reasons outlined above ─ this is against community consensus in the UK. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! You can always start a discussion at the OSM Community Forum if you feel that a review of the community consensus should change.

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

Hello,

Please have a look at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/its-time-to-address-the-a8-m/117468. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

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!
