That's an interesting name, do you have a source for it?

Hi there, "knoll feature" sounds like a description not something which should be in the name field. Would you like to correct it...

Hi there,
Please don't put things like "Planned residential development" in name tags as that is inappropriate. Use a note tag if you must. You could also add construction=residential. Are the tracks you added actually on the ground?
Finally, please add a meaningful comment to your commit so other mappers can see what your intentions are.
Thanks.

You have also added a load of roads with highway=residential alongside Loch an Eilean, where none exist.
Please let me know why you have done this as it looks like vandalism.

Hi. Why have you added a railway track at Inverdruie where nothing like that exists?

Yeah, no bother. I'd maybe have gone for path if I felt like it needed updating, since that doesn't discount cycle use. But not fussed. Just wondered the rational.
Cheers.

Hi,
You changed way/241710612 from a track to a cycleway. it's not a paved cycleway it's just a rough track. So I'm wondering why?

Thanks.

Railings?! No. That is so counter to our mountain culture. We don't paint trail blazes everywhere. Where there's a real problem we'll put up cairns to guide tourists across a problematic area, like the plateau of the Ben, where tourists will try to go anyway. But similarly we don't do anything to encourage those people away from the safe area. Like putting in viewpoint symbols on our maps. The Ben is covered in cloud for the vast majority of the year with only 30 to 60 days clear. It's also covered in 6ft of snow with huge cornices above those north and NE crags, buttresses and gullies well into summer and the tourist season. So we encourage people to stick to the path and not draw them to the edges. So please don't put viewpoints everywhere. It may seem attractive, but it's not good practise in this country. Thanks.

Hi,
Looking at it, I think a tourism=viewpoint there would be somewhere I wouldn't want to encourage inexperienced people to go to. It's off the main cairned path in a relatively precarious position.
Do you have strong views about it?

Actually, no I can't. This smacks of tagging for the router. "Dont tag for the renderer" applies just as much to routing. osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer Fundamentally, map and tag what is there, not for the convenience of data users.

This is a footbridge where cyclists have to dismount, i.e cross in pedestrian mode. It is not just for cyclists. See highway=footway for appropriate tagging.
Routers should still route over 'bicycle=yes', or 'bicycle=dismount' when the main highway tag is footway, or indeed use the relation. If they don't, it is not incorrect tagging but a failure of their software.

Okay thank you for the further info. I was called away to do other things.
I can go with the NCN making it a defacto cycleway despite not looking like one.

So we can't discuss it sensibly?

Maybe that's a problem with the routing engines. It's a footbridge, and a very busy one for pedestrians. It's not a designated cycle track. It has bollards either end, low sides, as well as the dismount signs.

It also doesn't look like any of the wiki examples of a cycleway. Perhaps you can justify it to me without just shouting routing engine.

Because it's a footbridge, cyclists have to dismount, and walk over. Perhaps it should have a cycleway tag?

A permissive path is where the land owner has allowed access where no other rights exist - like in England. That's not the case here. We have a default legal right of access. So no, it is not appropriate either.

OSM is all about what is on the ground. You do not have to say what something's legal status is.

I would not add any access tag at all.

Ah, good! I feared you were adding it without thought.
There are a couple of issues I can see:
Some renderers wont show the track/paths.
Routing apps see the access=no and wont route along those ways.

Your other tags are fine, and it's useful info.

My thinking is the Land Reform Scotland act says we have a legal right, with various exclusions, of access. So as far as I can see those tracks and paths, do have a legal right of access. Permission doesn't have to be explicitly given to those particular paths or tracks.

Hi, Why are you marking this and all highway=track/path's you add as access=no ?

Hi, Why have you made the whole of the path from Glenmore over Meall a Bhuachaille a ford?

Absolutely. I saw someone has put in tower ridge (one of the classic climbs on the north face) and it'd be good to put in more. Certainly the Carn Mor Dearg arete should be marked as such, so I can see I have plenty of work to do here!
