Tagging does not have be standardised, OpenStreetMappers are free to choose a suitable value and TagInfo will show the range of that. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. Cyclists do use that line, even though they aren't meant to. I have changed the barrier to bicycle=dismount already.

153448645

No, that is not designated! It is a desire line. The council wish for cyclists to dismount and walk their bicycle through the barrier.

Oh, the place=suburb. I've moved the historical place name tag you deleted to that.

152980008

What was the place tag duplicating?

In the UK pedestrians are legally entitled to walk on all public roads unless signed otherwise, so there is no need to add the foot=yes tag as it is implicitly the case if ill-advised given sideway=no.

If you're going to explicit add pavements please make sure to amend the roads with sidewalk=both accordingly. The presence of pavements is already captured and general guidance is only to tag them if there if something separating them from the road curbside.

In simple terms, asphalt is normally used on road surface for longer wear/longevity, bitmac is usually what the pavements were and are patched up with. Best to ignore the render aesthetics and focus on the semantics. Asphalt itself isn't a generic term, it has a technical meaning. Which is why many say tarmac in the UK.

Please see surface=bitmac

Disagree. Users should be free to tag whatever they want for new features. Now is clearly the time to switch to the correct brand name suffix. However, the Twitter.com redirect is only 302 Found for the moment. Once that becomes Permanent might be the time to do a mechanical edit.

151532518

Twitter.com changed to X.com on Friday. Twitter is dead, the key should be too.

Need to change sidewalk=no on the roads to sidewalk=separate if you are going to explicitly map footpath like this. There’s not really much need when the pavements directly adjoins the road itself.

Kettle Foods is actually owned by Valeo that bought out the Meat Snacks company. This site appears to be purely crisp manufacture.

It still says Kettle Foods on the main building exterior (along with colourful graphic of 12 crisp packets)

It was pad-locked when I surveyed the route on 21st Sept 2023, with locked=yes to indicate 'usually locked'. Having just checked back to photo the path actually deviates to the left of the vehicle gate and to the right of another left-most post. I have tweaked the mapping accordingly.

Not sure why Mapnik isn’t rendering name of building:part=department, but I think this should remain as is to avoid tagging for renderer.

If Unthank Road has a roundabout on it which joins with Unthank Road, why remove the name=Unthank Road from the roundabout?

60785392

I do subscribe to highway=path because the signs show equal use and the NCN just makes use of that off-road shared bit of pavement for connectivity. Just feels a bit biased to be picking highway=cycleway for a narrow pavement.

60785392

The signs from StreetView 2022 suggest shared-use pavement (highway=path used by JOSM for that).

60785392

Puzzling to see highway=cycleway and foot=designated + public_footpath together on FP 34. Surely the primary user of a public footpath are pedestrians?

The council has official road names for the roundabout polylines, such as "KETTS HILL", for what was previously named "Bishop Gate Road" in NE corner of A147.
