Just looked at this because of: https://twitter.com/EmilyKerr36/status/1618271589602332672. Wondered if foot=permissive & bicycle=permissive would be more appropriate access tags. (It is a couple of ages since I last wandered through here, often for some bizarre reason on a Maundy Thursday when getting into buildings wasn't easy).

Suspect the 200 degrees place on MIlton Street is a cafe rather than a shop (they probably do sell their coffee as well). Have changed it (as Jay was the original mapper)

You seem to have deleted information on at least one node, which was mapped as a maypole: node/9973120591

Looks to be erroneous wikidata tag on Jubilee Campus.

It's an orienteering post, and these are various markings (not the mapper, but they did ask about these).

You can get more up-to-date aerials by using "https://ecn.t{switch:0,1,2,3}.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/a{u}.jpeg?g=587&n=z" in the Custom imagery. There's a bit of an odd thing about BIng imagery at the moment in the iD editor which it's getting hard to resolve. Also, if you don't know it, the cadastral parcel overlay often helps line things up.

I see your edit & makes perfect sense. I suspect it follows the old line climbing out of the cutting and then along the edge of the school.

I've been trying to add some footpath designations in Maidenhead Thicket (mainly from a survey 13 years ago). I've now moved permanently from the area and for some reason never did the Thicket thoroughly.

Hi,

Is the bit of the Chiltern Loop along the service road to Stubbings Nursery a pavement or similar? I can't exactly remember what it looked like before all the changes here.

They are components of modern stone circles (built in 2000 IIRC), but Wales has a lot in the form of Gorsedd stones. A picture here: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3311833. Usually such things fall under historic=archaelogical_site, but these are neither.

They aren't unique in that quite a few things which are *usually* historic may have modern day replicas or counterparts. I've sort of assumed that all the historic things have an implicit man_made tag too.

I'll see if I can finish off my draft diary entry on "modern stone circles", as it was mainly written to raise the issue.

Yes, I would presume UEA, still doesn't make it a university. That's precisely the arrangement which existed for typical teacher training colleges when they started offering degree courses: they were externally accredited by a university.

Yeah, it's a big FE college according to wikipedia (possibly misnamed as it's part of another college), possibly with some degree programmes accredited by an awarding body. I dont think anything without a royal charter makes sense as amenity=university now (obv. back in the day Polys did)

Easton College should be amenity=college not amenity=university I think.

Not sure this is completely true. The park also calls itself Eryri National Park (e.g., on the splash screen of their website), so I don't think it has completely gone over to just using a Welsh name, but that the place name element is now Welsh only.

I'm sure this is sensible from a marketing perspective, where "Parc Cenedlaethol" will lack meaning for English monoglot speakers, and some continuity in elements of the name helps place the updated usage.

Unfortunately, most of the route relation you have tagged as being the A1 is not N of Edinburgh. There is no guaranteed relationship between signed UK road numbers and E-road numbers

Hi,

You failed to include all the building when you revised this, check out the building:part N of S corridor labelled Newell Ward.

Definitely time to start a thread on community.osm. I'll see if I can find some of the Icelandic & Norwegian examples, in the meantime there are also these above Pontresina way/981577482/history#map=17/46.49516/9.90856

Ah, very interesting. The paper I linked earlier talks about "bumps" which are energy dissipation devices rather than straight protection (they have a high angled face which forces the flow into the air with some loss of energy). The discussion in the paper seems to always associate them with a lower dam feature.

They are described as concrete wedges in this document: https://www.preventionweb.net/files/10851_avalancheprotection.pdf.

Long ago one of my Praktikants at UBS in Zurich was the son of the director of the Swiss Avalanche Institute, would be a useful contact now.

I'm a little puzzled by these, because although they will disrupt an avalanche flow, they don't seem to be protecting anything on immediately downhill of the obstruction. Retaining wall is clearly wrong as one would expect a retaining wall to have the wall part to be on the lower side.
