Thanks - my impression was that it was just the side road to Emmaus, but I'll check again in a few days.

Hello - for Queensway Gateway and Whitworth Road, I've not spotted any signage indicating the change from 40mph to 30mph when entering from either the Queensway or Sedlescombe Rd N side. Is this new or very recently signed?

Hello - it's not clear to me why you've deleted the following buildings. They appear to exist and had URPNs assigned to them. If it's for geometry changes and misnaming/mistagging, please try and retain the history and the tags rather than deleting work.
* way/1338273618
* way/1338273625
* way/1338444481
* way/1338444483

Please also be careful to align your base layer with the cadastral parcel map and then draw building geometry based on the foot of the building, not the roof. Correcting this later is a lot more difficult than getting it right to begin with.

Thanks.

Hello! Please do add useful changeset comments when uploading changes: osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments#Why_should_I_use_Changeset_Comments?

Please also try to upload changes for different geographical areas in separate changesets to keep your bounding box smaller. I can see you've added a treet in South Korea and another in Ecuador. osm.wiki/Changeset#Geographical_size_of_changesets

Thank you!

Whoops, looks like this touched one of the members of the Hastings/St Leonards residential area multipolygon - sorry for large bounding box.

177201369

Nice. The overall work in Rye and a few nearby towns to fix the misalignment is going to be a huge job, but I applaud any move in that direction!

176863903

For context: this was added in July 2013 in changeset/17034685 without any source given at the time, but @Gregory Williams is still an active contributor to the map.

Thanks Jon. I think this still leaves us with a problem for permissible information with which to make a change in terms of intellectual property - something I've myself been corrected on in the past with respect to council planning docs.

I don't know enough here to advise, so you might need to take to the forums. There's a broad FAQ answer that's relevant, though: osm.wiki/FAQ#Why_don't_you_just_use_Google_Maps/whoever_for_your_data?

176747130

Apologies for the multiple comments. OS OpenMap Local, which should be accurate and up-to-date, has this branch as the B2090. I can also see that local authorities do refer to this branch as the B2090 in notices about roadworks. We can't use the latter as an information source, but I think it casts enough doubt that I'm going to revert this change until we have a convincing permissible source of information.

176747130

Quick note: the street signs on Bing Streetside (which is permissible) at both ends of Park Lane do indeed indicate that it's also part of the B2089 as you've suggested.

176747130

Hey - I'm not sure these are permissible sources for information? Especially the Ordnance Survey MasterMap. Please consult osm.wiki/Copyright_information_for_UK_mappers

I also note that this seems to have missed way/1085057069 (where Park Lane joins the A21) and way/98371276 (where it joins the B2089 westward).

175997058

Understood, but it does exist on the ground, has recently been used even if there's no permitted right of way as evidenced by Strava Heat Maps, and the tagging (with rskedgell's correction) does indicate that public use is not permitted. The tags right now recognise its existence, occasional usage, and the fact that it's private. Good routing applications will no longer send people along it.

There's a good page on the pros and cons here: osm.wiki/Illegal_paths

176016857

Thanks for catching this, should have double-checked it when making my changes earlier.

175997058

Hello - I've slightly tweaked this in changeset/176006316 as it's clear from Strava Heatmaps that it does get some foot use, and the way is visible on Bing, Esri, and Mapbox satellite imagery (ground truth).

I've left it as access=no since it's not a PRoW and there's no evidence of permissive access, but I've changed informal to yes based on the evidence of usage. This last change might be a bit dubious now that it has highway=track rather than highway=footway?

140426621

Hi Nathan, this is a late comment, but wanted to give some quick feedback - as I understand it, access=private is intended for places "not to be used by the public". In this change there are a bunch of paths and tracks that are explicitly and legally permissible to walkers, including parts of the 1066 Country Walk, so routing is dependent on whether the routing algorithm prioritises access= or osm.wiki/Tag:foot=. I've changed some of these to motor_vehicle=private in changesets 175793390 and 175799147.

175489831

Thanks for the contribution! Please do try to upload changes for different countries seperately where possible to keep the bounding box smaller, to help reduce noise for reviewers.

Just to confirm, the numbers originally added are as provided by the developer in documents (cited in the changeset(s)) where it wasn't entirely clear whether they'd translate to property numbers or not at the time I added them. If the indicated property is 7 Glenister Way, it would probably be best to remove the addr:housenumber tags for other properties on the site now, pending a survey or other permissible data being published.

Example not:name=* additions, from 13 years ago: changeset/13267861

173271711

I've noticed that signage also sometimes has the full stop after "St", which gives us three extra alt_name values right out of the gate ignoring "Saint"! Some of these roads actually had an explicit not:name=* tag for "St. Helen's Road" (for example), but with so many items changed, I've removed these for now, especially since the signage contradicts them sometimes.
