Thank you for your reply.

You say it looks good on the map, however there is no one map. OSM is a geographic database which is consumed and rendered in many different ways. If a way hasn't got a name then we do not make one up (or assign it one of the routes that follows that way.

A more specialised walking renderer, https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#18/52.67147/-2.54638 will show the names of route relations provided that they have a network tag, in this case network=lwn.

For example way/38025209 is already part of The Shropshire Way, but doesn't have that name and all information needed is in the relation.

Hope this halps

Hi
Welcome to OSM and thank you for adding the Telford T50 route.

I see that you have correctly created a route relation, however the individual ways should not also be named Telford T50. It is perfectly fine for the individual ways to be unnamed.

Out of interest what sources are you using?

Cheers Phil

Hi
Not sure what you were trying to achieve here, but you seem to have put a large kink into the exit way. This is incorrect and the transition is smooth.

I have reverted this change.

Hi
I do not recall where this project was discussed with the UK community. I do not recall anything and cannot find anything on the mailing list.

In this change you have added turn restrictions. Turn restrictions should only be mapped where there is a legal restriction. In this case there are no restrictions so the restrictions should be removed unless you can show a source that I am not aware of.

You seem to have been making a very large number of these edits, which are also very unlikely to be legal restrictions.

Please discuss with the community before making any more such edits.

Cheers Phil

Hi
What sources did you use for this edit?

It appears to be a purely armchair edit and has undone edits made by the National Trust using on the ground knowledge.

Whilst it may not have been perfect, it is clearly a work in progress done with on the ground knowledge.

A comment on the changeset would have been preferable.

You should not assume the definitive map is accurate, in OSM we map the 'walked line'.

Not sure what you mean by "If not ground truth but only legal, it should be removed or tagged different" but how do you know they there is no ground truth. It is rare for rights of way over farmland to be visible on imagery, ground truth are the gates/stiles and waymarks which need to be surveyed.

This edit is also incorrect. These are mini-roundabouts which have been correctly mapped for 14 years.
I have reverted this change.

135079920

This edit is incorrect, these are not roundabouts and have been correctly mapped as mini-roundabouts for the past 13 years.

It should be tagged as 14" as per OSM wiki for imperial measurements.

I am not sure I would have put this back.

The pub was looking very derelict in February, so don't expect it to exist much longer.

Hi
This edit was a little wrong.

Maxheight should be on the way to which it applies so that routers see it, it shouldn't be on the way that crosses the bridge.

An imperial limit in this case should be 15'0", not 15 ft.

I have fixed this, so thank you for reminding me.

Cheers Phil

Can you explain how a member of the Peak and Northern Footpath Society is in any way a conflict?

132585296

Hi, this edit looks very wrong. Why did you decide all vehicles over 7.5t are subject to the restriction rather than just goods vehicles over 7.5t.
Did you visit the site?

Hi, how exactly did you decide removing the casino tag was correct? Maybe you should have removed the restaurant tag. Or maybe they are both correct?

Cheers Phil

Hi, this edit has gone a bit wrong.

Why have you deleted the drive-through?

Cheers Phil

The wiki provides a reasonable description of a rest area, however extending that to a layby is going a bit far.

In a layby you are unlikely to get toilets or picnic tables, although you may get a bin if you are lucky

For some reason the UK never did proper rest areas, as you find in France, where an area similar to that of a service area is provided with just parking, picnic tables and toilets.
These are away from traffic where you can sit and enjoy lunch. My girlfriend and I choose these when traveling in France and take a picnic with us.

Mapping laybys, such as this as rest areas is very misleading. If mapping them as areas they should be tagged as amenity=parking.

Cheers Phil

133584727

Hi, a layby hardly fits the wiki description of a rest areas. Rest areas, as found in France which this tag is intended to represent do not really exist in the UK.
Would you really stop here, expect to sit at a table and enjoy lunch while the kids run around?

Please revert, this and other similar edits that break the quality of OSM data.

Cheers Phil

Whilst this is not the correct way to map rights of way in a OSM, we should map what is on the ground (best from a survey) which often differs from the definitive map.
Rights of way do legally end when a path enters highway land, it is not poor mapping by the local authority, the definitive map has different requirements to OSM, it is a legal document and reflects that legal status.

It was odd name:en tags on things native speakers don't translate I was looking for :)

130217968

It was an error in the name suggestion index. An only Algeria update had gone in as except Algeria.It should now have been fixed.
I afterwards realise you were not the only mapper to add these tags.
