Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

We are not allowed to copy Google Maps data into OSM. Google Maps is copyright-protected.

I would strongly suggest you revert your changes. I can do this for you if you wish.

Regards Bernard.

This changeset pertains to the Public Right of Way Aldenham FP 24. The HCC definitive map statement says it "Commences from parish boundary at junction with FP 50a (St. Stephen) E of Little Munden Farm thence E to join Restricted Byway/FP22."

Please look at the HCC interactive map, which shows all Public Rights of Way here:- https://webmaps.hertfordshire.gov.uk/row/row.htm?layers=[1:0,1,2,3,4] On that map search for ALDENHAM 024 This shows the line of the Right of Way in question. The map shows several other Rights of Ways leading to Little Munden Farm all of which have public access on foot.

Regards Bernard.

This is a public footpath, it is shown on the council website here:- https://webmaps.hertfordshire.gov.uk/row/row.htm?layers=[1:0,1,2,3,4] Therefore the is designated public access on foot (foot=designated tag). Thus, the access=no tag should not be used as it implies that there is no access whatever.

How come you "ride this section all the time" if there is no access?

Can you please show where the sign is and what exactly it says?

Regards Bernard.

For those sections that have not been eroded, they should still be available for public use as defined, unless there is an official traffic order made by the highway authority. The eroded parts although they may be unusable remain legally highways. It would be correct to tag the eroded parts as impassable, or highway=no.

Regards Bernard.

Foot use is designated on a public footpath.

Foot use is designated and isn't a private use, thus, all access is not private.

Foot and horse use here is a designated use, the name is Crab Lane.

Foot and horse use on a public bridleway is a designated use.

It's still a highway open to the public, the parts not under water are still available for use.

It's a public footpath, so there is some access.

Hi nileshbarawkar, I made no changes to the status of the highway Way: 92943748. It was you who changed it from trunk to secondary, its original status was secondary. I merely removed the duplicate highway, Way: 1503468550 trunk road, which was placed on top of Way: 92943748

Regards Bernard.

Hi, actually the bridge structure is already mapped with Way: 542949337. There are now 2 beam bridge structures mapped. The first one Way: 542949337 looks a better. It might be better to place the new tags on this outline.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Unfortunately, your route has resulted in duplication of highways, which could disrupt routing. There are now also many highway crossings, and many warnings for them are posted above. Thus I've removed this highway, this is done in changeset/181938293.

The correct way to map a cycle route is to add all existing sections of the route into a route relation. Is this route a formal route, I can't find mention of it on the web? May I suggest the beginners guide here:- https://learnosm.org/en/josm/josm-relations/#route-relations

If you need help please just ask.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, I don't really understand the statement nor the question. But any problem has to be detected first. In this case the detection was because I look at all new mappers, (in eastern england), first few edits. I saw a problem with your edit and worked out what change was made to create the problem. I then worked out the best way to revert the problem. The easy way was to use a reverting tool in my JOSM editor. Done!

Regards Bernard.

Hi, you seem to have inadvertently duplicated sections of highways. I've corrected this.

Regards Bernard.

Moved to number 12 building.

Hi, I;ve removed several duplicated sections of highways. Some were difficult to determine because you've mapped the grass areas to the highway center lines. The grass doesn't grow across these highways, does it?

Regards Bernard.

Hi, There are many problems/warnings stated above. I've remove your very long duplicated highway which disrupted routing.

Regards Bernard.

Hi, Welcome to OenStreetMap.

The sidewalks are mapped, the roads are tagged sidewalk=both. This indicates that there is a sidewalk both sides of the highway. Thus no need to map them again.

Hi, Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I've tweaked your area to better suit OSM practice.

Regards Bernard.
