Again, we've discussed this. That's factually incorrect. There is a legal right of way for walkers (foot=permissive) and, despite your assertion, that doesn't mean anything at all about other uses. For example, St. Andrew's Church in Whitminster, the driveway of which has permissive vehicle access to its car park. You tagged that in the same way. Unless there's a sign saying no cycling or horses, you cannot set that tag.
I've reported you to the Data Working Group.

Have you ever been to Stonepitts Bridge? I have. It is an agricultural track, for tractors, with footpath permissions, not a narrow footway. You are not mapping to ground truth.

"Note: Rather than being influenced by the name of the access provision, tag the feature according to what you observe on the ground. For example a 'Public Footpath' that runs along the route of a farmer's track should be tagged as highway=track rather than highway=footway."

So for example you would usually set foot=designated, designation=public_footpath. But as you've seen the ground truth may not be highway=footpath, it could be highway=track or highway=service like the driveway in St. Andrew's Church, Whitminster I mentioned. In that case, other users like cars, bikes and horses have permissive usage. bicycle=no really only indicates a physical obstacle like a narrow kissing gate.

The presence of a legal right for walkers does not mean no access for other users. Permissive access exists.

Thank you!

"For example: access=designated makes no sense but foot=designated makes perfect sense."

Hello, access=designated is meaningless, see access=designated

Hello, this seems to extend much too far north, it shouldn't cover South Gloucestershire villages such as Wickwar and Charfield, and certainly not Gloucestershire houses near Hillesley, Wotton-under-Edge, North Nibley, and Dursley. Bristol was never part of these addresses, as suggested by the GL postcode. Can you please fix? Thank you!

Hello, I see you've set a lot of the Thames and Severn Canal towpath to bicycle=no, horse=no again. What is your source for this? On a survey visit I found MTB use was popular and there is no reason equestrian use would be prohibited.

Why did you add bicycle=no, horse=no to St. Andrew's Church in Whitminster? I was there last weekend and that isn't the case, the driveway is open to all visitors?

132985085 over 2 years ago

Hello, why did you set bicycle=no to various rural tracks and footpaths around the Stroudwater Navigation? I've been on a few survey walks and there's no signage to indicate a ban on cycling. Cotswold Canals Trust, the keepers of the Thames & Severn Way, are generally OK with considerate cycling, and it's in regular use on the Strava heat map? Thanks

Actually, my mistake, I found it wasn't your fault after all. And the Stroud Brewery Bridge (at Wallbridge) double-mini roundabout is well mapped by you without affecting relations. Well done. Just be careful with the 'combine' tool!

135982119 over 2 years ago

I've just found another roundabout where you broke all the relations by combining them, so I'm going to go ahead and revert this changeset now. Please don't do it again.

Please try to leave a more detailed changeset comment; it's very unclear what your intent was

135982119 over 2 years ago

Hi, when you combined ways on the Cainscross Roundabout, you broke the relations that use only a segment of the roundabout (for example bus routes, the Walk Around Stroud Way), and also the sidewalk tagging which changes around the different sides. Please be careful with combining ways in future where ground truth, or relation routes, change. Thank you!

Hi, I didn't see any signage this was a private road, what are you basing the change on? Thanks!

Source is wrong, should be survey not LIDAR

129834374 about 3 years ago

That should of course say "no evidence for access=destination". For example, it is fine to walk down here en route to Hailey Wood. Whoops!

Source comment was a mistake - should be Bing; survey
