Hi there, wongataa!

Please can you clarify why you did this? Is there a local consensus I'm not familiar with? At least some of those are signalized, literal stop lines on the circulating way, and I assume you know the argument against using highway=roundabout for those already.

Amusingly, I've been around the area fixing things in the other direction just hours after this changeset, and it's clipped this box. I don't want to tread on any local conventions, and edit wars are bad, so how shall we resolve this?

Hi EBattman, and thanks for the reply.

tourism=* is certainly the way to go for this tower. I've added tags for two tourist features, since they're slightly different in nature, and different features in OSM should get distinct objects

1. the viewing platform: node/12819165592

2. the historic building itself: way/311139684

Don't rely on the node/way IDs too much, since they might be replaced with new objects. If you're freshly pulling tourism=* on a reasonable regular basis though, you're good to go, no matter how we divide up the map features

Updated to remove the PoW tagging, and I'm trying to accommodate the most common name in name=* too, if that's what changeset/165938610 is about.

Bother, did I miss it? Thanks!

Thanks for that! Just noticed it was presenting as incorrectly 50 on my OSM-using satnav :)

London, Belfast, and Coupar Angus is quite the wide changeset! Can OsmAnd be persuaded to upload changes between towns and countries, I wonder?

(It's better to keep changesets tightly focused on their own particular geographical areas 😄)

Aha, thanks! I based the apostrophe on a photo of one Hill project board. I've added the apostrophized form back in as an alt_name

Hi to you too - and thanks for being interested in OpenSteetMap!

In future, please can you write a bit more for the changeset comment? It really makes our lives easier

osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments explains why it's a good idea.

Hi, I think you accidentally tagged the rec ground as another school. Looks like another keen mapper has fixed it though, worry not!

For your other changes, can you please enter a bit more in the description field than "hi" or "hoi"? It'd really help your Friendly Local Mappers to figure out what you're doing. Thanks!

That's a big bounding box for a couple of handrails! Did you mean way/1190163932 to be included?

Das ist eine große Begrenzungskiste für ein paar Handläufe. Ist way/1190163932 ein Unfall?

Ah yes. Thanks for that!

161568896

Thanks for that, and welcome to OpenStreetMap!

I did notice a few discrepancies back when I updated Refeyn. Perhaps there are more, and maybe the area could do with a thorough resurvey one weekend. I'll leave a map Note to remind us.

* supposed to make. Sorry for the typo

Hi there! Welcome to OpenStreetMap, and thanks for your contributions!

Quick Q: did you check whether these roads are covered by a No Pedestrians sign? I've not been on the ground in that area for ages, so I don't remember.

"foot=discouraged" is better if there isn't one of those signs. Because.. well, "foot=no" is for local legal prohibitions, and we're talking about UK law here, where walkers have the enshrined legal right to use any road other than motorways roads or slip roads, unless there's one of those signs.

Pedestrians are still widely discouraged from using dual carriageways or busy dualled roundabouts though, and foot=discouraged absolutely fits the bill out here for the main motor carriageways.

Routing engines are supposed to foot=discouraged the absolute last choice, or no option at all.
access=*#access-discouraged has more. I think it absolutely is a safety issue, and access=discouraged works well to tag that stance if there's no pedestrian-in-a-red-circle sign up.

Thanks for the info, and welcome to OpenStreetMap too!

It's mostly good stuff, and will help people find it (on the next address database update, anyway: give it a day or two). I've tweaked the address a little for levels anbd spaces in postcodes reasons, and added the house and surrounding buildings as new objects. I've also moved the "building" and "thing that has a postal address" concepts that were all on the landuse shape into that new central house object.

Fixed. I typoed "est_width" on the phone keyboard.

Gouda 🍿

Thanks for that. I should have updated the entire stretch.

I can confirm that there are "note new speed limits" signs up, and no 40 markers that I could see now.

(I think what needs surveying in person still is whether vans escaping from Trinity can turn right onto Northbound St Giles... I'll add a note to remind myself/someone else to take a look)
