I'd agree with the radio reports and the " at junction 47 (Allerton Park)" in the gov.uk press release (it is "at Allerton Park"). I'm not convinced the junction itself has a name though, especially not "Allerton Park Interchange", which a SABRE mapper renamed it to. For now I've removed that name from the roundabout roads and added "name:signed=no" to the junctions themselves, so that no-one is confused by directions that don't match non-existing on-road signage.

Re the A59 junction "Whole interchange needs updating to June 2022 upgrade, including traffic signals, additional lanes, 50mph speed limit", I've moved the fixme to a particularly problematic section at the southwest. Still needs adding, I'd struggle to do from do from memory - I always concentrate on getting in the right lane and allowing people who have got in the wrong lane to move across!

Thanks for adding the extra crossings. I've added them to the Wales Coast Path as well so that doesn't have gaps there:
relation/3285170#map=18/51.39883/-3.27742
Do you know how people are supposed to get across the road here:
relation/3285170#map=18/51.40884/-3.25143
Cheers,

No - it was definitely a multipolygon: https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1LEQ .
Also, what does Lidar have to do with rendering OSM data? You might use Lidar as an imagery source, but that is it.

Hello,
Here you've deleted a multipolygon relation and replaced it with a single way way/1283786411 . What was the reason that you did that?
Best Regards,

Just to add to the confusion, there's also "memorial:type"...

Thanks!

Thanks

The question you need to ask is, on a case by case basis, "is this a mistagging". In the case of something like "highway=pirmary" you can be reasonably sure that it's just a misspelling. In the case of a rare type of memorial you can't be sure unless you check other sources (like the IWM's picture, which I've now linked to the object)
Whether there's a wiki page is irrelevant.
Also if a tag is used by data consumers it is only common courtesy to let them know.

Thanks!

Looking at e.g. https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/930968280 , what was the previous "prow:ref" ("326/4") likely to have been? It wasn't the same as "prow_ref" ("Radley FP 4")?
Was it perhaps some internal council GIS thing that doesn't belong in OSM?

Hello,
You are tagfiddling again :)
Previously I used to separate out plaques from plates - you can see that at https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#18/-25.00904/135.17758 . Tag changes should be discussed in the forum, especially if there are data consumers who are going to be affected - something that you can see at https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/memorial=plate#projects .
On an individual basis it's certainly possible to argue that "plaque" is the better tag - this one is https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/44738 , and I'd have mapped that as a plaque to start with, but mass changes should be discussed - something that you seem to have trouble doing: @geozeisig/blocks .
Best Regards,
Andy
