Hi,
Thanks for your edits to Thorpe Rd following the upgrade that added bike routes.

I've harmonised the whole length of the route to fit your tagging - ie, tagging the cycle track as a tag on the main way, and removing the separate way where one was still in place

I don't know what general practice is, but I did wonder whether the cycle track should be shown as a separate way. One possible advantage would be to show the priority at the junctions; and it would make clearer that it is effectively a separate carriageway for bikes, rather than a painted line in the road.

But I'm not completely clear what the various tags indicate, so wanted to ask first - especially as your tagging is obviously carefully considered.

Happy mapping

Thanks. I’ll take it out at some point - it’s been in the state you describe for about 5 years!

Hi,

Do you know that this Brompton hire dock is in operation? I've never seen it in use and it appears to be abandoned - I was thinking of taking it out of the map

Thanks, corrected

Great, thanks

Hi

Can I check you know there's a bookshop at Peterborough Central Library? Or was that an approximation for the lending library?

Thanks and happy mapping.

Hi Paul,

I realise I've just written over your edit at the new Bourges View retail park.

I saw that Millfield Autoparts give their address as Unit 5 Bourges View. Do you know for sure that the road through the retail park is actually called Maskew Ave?

Thanks and happy mapping.

Map elements in relation:Airport Cycleway now match signs on the ground between Savile Way and Westwood Bridge incl.

Hi Falsernet,

I'm just looking at the Airfield Cycleway relation, and saw you'd added cycleway=crossing to way/455388707.

Is that quite right? There is no crossing there for cycles: they have to join the carriageway. There is a crossing for pedestrians, which I'll add in a moment.

Happy mapping.

Thanks, I went there today and will update the POI soon.

I may get there anyway next few days.

Ah thanks, I didn’t realise you were in Lisbon! (Saw locale=EN(US) or similar in the changeset)

If you’re fully confident women attend, could usefully tag female=yes . The vibes online suggest to me that is unlikely in these two cases

Again if you could kindly let me know how you identified which building this is in, that would be much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for this prompt edit.

May I ask, how did you ascertain which building is no 13?

Fair points. My reason for including it is that this is a geographical point referenced in a legal notice that was publicly displayed. It's as if the notice had referred to "corner of High Street and Main Street" - except that here the NGR-referenced location is the operative "landmark" for the legal order, rather than a street corner.

Apologies, the NGR is derived from a legal notice referenced in the notes/cs comment, it's not actually on the ground. However, if that node could be moved to the NGR position given, it would be more accurate than were it is now. this is possible, I just don't know how to do it (and I don't know if it's worth it)

It is a "National Grid Reference". It is physically marked on the object the node represents, and is a more accurate expression of the location than its lat-lon derived from the map.

I can't find full details quickly, but you could have a look at osm.wiki/Converting_to_WGS84#Great_Britain and https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/documents/resources/guide-to-nationalgrid.pdf

Hi smeòrach,

Just wanted to query the denomination=sufi tag on Syed Shah Mustafa mosque in Aberdeen
way/922483191
and Mohiuddin Jamia Masjid & Education Centre in Edinburgh way/90524311

The difficulty with that tag is it suggests the congregation isn't Sunni, but I think they might chase you out if you were to suggest that :-)

From my general knowledge it seems likely they're Barelvi places, so denomination=sunni for sure. Then possibly add sunni=barelvi , which would communicate what I think the "sufi" tag was trying to say.

Conceivably sufism=yes might work, if you thought it really important to be explicit?

Happy mapping,

Hi, just checking what the signs on here are as far as you're concerned. My puzzle is that at the Y-junction of paths coming off, then doubling back under, North Street, there are bike prohibition signs pointing in both directions, and at the SE end of 'this short section' where it joins Standings Court, there is a shared cycleway sign.

I wondered about it when I was there - do I infer there is a prohibition sign at the NW end of 'this short section' that I missed?

In any event, though it's perhaps overly pedantic, I'm minded to change the highway of 'this short section' to cycleway, since it's shared use. Oder?
