Don't really think that "highway=unclassified" is suitable for this or the other entrance road.
Unclassified typically means it is a public road, that is a through route or leads to multiple destinations.
This road just appears to be leading to a school, and as such would be better suited as "highway=service", previously it was marked as "highway=track" and "tracktype=grade1", which does mean fully paved, so wasn't incorrectly mapped.

Also it appears to be a public bridleway so should also have "designation=public_bridleway"

When questioning the existence on an object, please use fixme=query not name=query. name is strictly only used for the name of the object, not its purpose (description=)
way/816189834
name=*

86668127

Is way/816184926
The same bridge as way/810292755
Just doesn't seem very feasible that there are two cycle bridges that close apart. And is the name=Cycle Bridge 1 and name=Cycle Bridge 2 what they are actually called, or would it be better is they were tagged as ref or description?

Please keep changesets to a single location. If you make edits in multiple locations far apart it appears in the history for the area in between, so it looks like this edit covers the majority of Africa, Europe & and the Middle East

I highly doubt that this is a real highway.
If it is a highway that is likely to be built but construction hasn't yet started please tag with "highway=proposed" and "proposed=motorway"
If construction has already started please tag with "highway=construction" and "construction=motorway" - assuming it is inline with the motorway classification in US highway's tagging guidelines

Does the path that you have added running beside the A272 actually exist, while I haven't personally been look for it, I'm pretty sure that it is just a grass verge. and the bridge over the stream has vehicle restraint barriers adjacent to the road. Roads are roads, they allow pedestrians on them by default, however routing software typically tries to avoid A & B roads (especially primary routes such as the A272) them unless they have low speed limits (maxspeed=xx mph) and/or pavements (sidewalk=left/right/both)
By adding a path here, routing software will suggest people to walk along here, which certainly isn't a good idea, as there are much better alternatives (I've ended up cycling on the A1 because someone put a cyclepath next to the A1 where there wasn't one for example)
sidewalk=*
If you need help understanding this, or anything else with OSM you can always send me a PM

Welcome to OSM Hop Scotch. May I ask you to add a comment to the changes sets please, it makes it easier for others to see what's been changed.
I am fairly familiar with path you added called "Open Glade", however I haven't seen it ever on the ground, nor on a map (as a PRoW). What is the source of this trace (GPS, aerial imagery etc) and what is the source of the name (sign, map, personal knowledge etc).
Also what are the access permissions on this path? Is it public, permissive, private etc?
I'll also make some comments on your other changesets too, I'm not trying to scare you off (last thing I want to do), I just want to make you aware of the standards (which unfortunately aren't straight forward) to ensure the map reflects the ground and access permissions in the best possible way.

How come the motor vehicle access has changed from destination to permissive Madeira Drive? (w/165405326)
But remain as destination on the shorter ways off the roundabout?

I'm just saying that the tags were correct before hand and followed the UK's "Alternative tagging style", which also so happens to be the standard international tagging guidelines as well. So changing it to "highway=cycleway" with the additional segregated, foot & bicycle tags make some of those those tags redundant.
not sure if it is how the iD editor shows differences between cycleway, footway & bridleway and therefore the edit was done to satisfy how the gui shows these ways on iD editor.

85848395

Shared Cycleways should be marked as "highway=path + bicycle=designated + foot=designated + segregated=no"
or "segregated=yes"
"highway=cycleway" is for ways that are designated only for Cyclists, however there may be permissive access for pedestrians (which would be "foot=yes" or "foot=permissive".)
Previously to your edit, the tags followed the guidelines, since your edit it doesn't. Regardless of being "highway=path" or "highway=cycleway" in most cases it doesn't affect routing or the rendering of the map.

85427549

Thanks for clearing that up!
I've combined all the parts of the path into the same way and connected it to the bridleway to the south (it was connected to the district/county boundary before)

85427549

Can you please verify access on this new path.
Is it really bicycle=yes & horse=no.
Is it paved? Is it a shared surface (blue round signs)? Is it a bridleway (or part of the bridleway)?

85019394

Can I have confirmation that the public footpath has been reopened please.

85018334

What exactly is this way (802465549) meant to be?
I presume it is meant to show a grass verge of the road that people can use to get from the pavement south of the railway bridge to the PRoW towards Holmbush Cottages. If it is this, then it shouldn't be mapped as it's own way.
There isn't really a way to map this, but applying a path beside the road and naming it "verges" isn't correct.
Try splitting the way and then apply foot=yes, horse=yes, cycle=yes to that section. If that section of Rocky Lane is also a PRoW apply designation=public_footway (or public_bridleway) too

84930476

Description of paths/footways should be under the "description" tag, and not the "name" tag.

85019394

Is the footway/path around Cape Road actually open? Last time I checked it was all still a construction zone, not looking it it would be open for at-least a year. If the path isn't yet open please mark (or request me to mark) it as highway=construction & construction=footway {or} path.
Also where it runs as a pavement of Cape Road, with no verge between the main carriageway and the pavement it should be marked as a "sidewalk" of the road, rather than its own way.

78148287

replaced all maxspeed=variable to maxspeed=70 mph.
This tag was like this before my edit, and currently doesn't have mandatory variable speed limits anyway. (has tech for them fitted, but no legal authorisation for their use, only recommended varialbe speed limits) so no variable maxspeed tag has been applied
