However, while it isn't "wrong" to tag bicycle=no on foot-only infrastructure such as highway=footway it's generally been thought to be unnecessary.
I suspect - and I'd like to be proved wrong on this - is that someone's adding "bicycle=yes" (and "highway=cycleway") to things that really aren't, because they want to cycle there.

Where it isn't clear, I'd agree - I certainly tag foot and horse access as explicitly "yes" on public bridleways because an app developer in Germany or the US isn't going to understand the "designation=public_bridleway" tag. However, I think I actually tag such specific access more than most people do.

You will need to contact Facebook about that. Their "places" data does not come from OpenStreetMap.

Hello Andy Parton and welcome to OpenStreetMap,
Please don't just use the changeset comment "Solar Mountain Gaming - Golf Edits" every time - in more detail what you are actually doing. See osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments for details.
Best Regards,

I don't know what the norm for cycling signage is in Warrington (haven't been there since the 80s) but if it's a cycleway I'd expect something like a blue "cycling" sign - maybe https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/55ba1284e5274a1521000023/sign-giving-order-route-pedal-cycles-only.jpg or https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/55ba12b1ed915d155c00001d/sign-giving-order-segregated-cycle-pedestrian-route.jpg , or some tactile paving that says ""cycleway" such as https://www.marshalls.co.uk/commercial/product/tactile-cycleway-unit, or something from the council that says (even if they haven't put up any signage) that they consider it a cycleway. Without any of those it's just a footpath.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hello,
Clearly there's an edit war going on over https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/osm-deep-history/#/way/30765899 etc.
Perhaps you could _both_ post evidence of why you think it is a cycleway or not a cycleway - maybe photographs would help?

(on cycling across pedestrian crossings) the Highway Code's very clear that you shouldn't: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/rules-for-cyclists-59-to-82 . That also means that it's not normally necessary to explicitly tag bicycle=no on every pedestrian or equestrian crossing (not that you likely have many of the latter in Warrington)

Andy

Witaj maraf24,
Jaki właściwie jest plan dróg? Zdjęcia lotnicze pokazują, jak wygląda duży obszar budowy.
Z poważaniem,
Andy Townsend, w imieniu Grupy Roboczej ds. Danych OSM.

Hello maraf24,
What actually is the plan for the roads? Aerial imagery shows what looks to be a large construction area.

@Hotel Gaj Kesri - when you say "it is showing" - in what map or app is it showing in the wrong place?

Hello - a quick question about way/466428839 , which is highway=no presumably because there's nothing on the ground here. Should it really be part of the Norfolk Coast Path and the England Coast Path, and (a bit of a philosophical question) should it join way/466428842 which it crosses?
Best Regards,
Andy

Drop an email to data@openstreetmap.org (with a bit of info about what needs changing back to what) if you'd need us to help figure something out.
Cheers - Andy

Hello,
The Esri imagery is offset here. I've moved node/7242362789 etc. to match GPS and OS StreetView-aligned Bing.

Hello MicronationMarker,
OpenStreetMap is not a place for fictional or imaginary countries. As you can see at https://osm.mapki.com/history/relation/11931692 , this has already been tidied up, just like it was last time: https://osm.mapki.com/history/way/676522134 .
