Hospital is not written on the sign, this is done with symbols instead.

e.g. if there was a sign with the train station symbol, you wouldn't also write "train station" just use the "destination:symbol=hospital"

There is currently no A&E symbol on the wiki, just hospital

Hello, as you have put a lot of effort into creating this changeset, what are your thoughts on modifying / removing the proposed layout for Stonehenge tunnel after the recent news they have cancelled the project: https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/stonehenge-tunnel-cancelled

Or Is it a bit too soon to modify it? I would hope other parts of the plan still go ahead?

Many thanks!

Incredible work as always. Its always a joy looking at Northampton on the map every now and then, and watching it evolve so quickly!

OK, it seems the mailing list still cannot decide though. legality vs safety over human life, i think safety comes first.

In terms of law, no there is nothing stopping you from walking on that section of road (other than Darwins law).

I will remove this tag, but i believe we should map what is there. Legal definition is not a tangible thing, a 4 lane 60mph roundabout is a thing, and I believe it is not safe for any person to be there, legal or not.

As all 3 routers are currently routing just fine around that roundabout, it should be safe to remove them.

And as others have said at similar locations, the practicality of tagging as foot=no far outweighs the legality of it.

If you feel legality outweighs practicality and safety, and that potentially tagging roads as foot=no to direct traffic to the designated footpaths is similar to "mapping for the render" (the render being navigation in this case) then I will revert the changes.

However to me, this is a map which is used to navigate, and it being able to generate unsafe navigation when a safe alternative is provided should be its primary function.

Its a 4 lane roundabout, You would be a moron if you wanted to walk there.

My understanding is all of central MK pedestrians are not allowed on roads, with signs such as this being common: https://www.reddit.com/r/fuckcars/comments/s1pehz/this_sign_in_central_milton_keynes_in_the_uk_a/

I would call that legal access is denied for foot traffic.

Are you sure this is called Poopies road, and not Poppies road? ;D

Do you know how much of the buildings site has been opened up now? its been a few months since i have been there, and they were starting to put the front doors on some of the houses?

Amazing to see what has sprung up in that area since the last time I visited!

Thanks for this, I never realised that there was a difference between "Building=terrace" vs "building=house + house=terrace".

Its very confusing, as pretty much every other building in OSM is exactly what it says, without some overcomplicated tagging acrobatics. e.g. a semi detached house is "building=semidetached_house", and a detached house is "building = detached", "building=shop" (even if its a row of shops), not some over complicated system that OSM seems to have chosen for terrace properties....

I will make sure any new additions i make use this method, even though I do not agree with it, though it will be difficult for me to manually update all the exiting "building=terrace" properties.

Many thanks,

Great work on making the Weetabix factory look a little bit more like what it actually looks like!
