A really long shot, but do you have any recollection of the 'service road' to the S of way/135476622. It looks a bit fantastical to me.

It's not really a ridge. From recollection it's actually a glacial roche moutonee : my mother used to climb up it as a child & I've been up it in the distant past too. No idea if it is accessible anymore.

See https://e.n.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly

There are various books on follies in Britain (this is a good overview http://follies.org.uk/index.php/books/), and it would be nice to be able to identify them. My favourite is the Pineapple at Dunmore https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/the-pineapple. Many follies are just landmarks like White Nancy, some are completely useless, but ornamental, others have some use, but are primarily there as "eyecatchers" (e.g., this was possibly a boathouse https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:False_Bridge,_Wollaton_Park_-_geograph.org.uk_-_874421.jpg). As they are so various they do not form any one building (or man_made) tag, but do recognisably belong to a particular tradition of creating artificial landscapes.

@kawino85: This is OpenStreetMap not OpenUKSISCA, so our meaning of industrial will not necessarily accord with it's usage elsewhere. You can tag the industrial sector (it's a separate tag, but an international classification is recommended, see osm.wiki/Key%3Aindustry%3Aisic_code). Equally there is a utility=* tag (utility=*), but both are used to supplement the existing tags.

Just checked my images & there is definitely a no right turn sign at the lights on South Parade. There is other detail which I can't see, but am assuming it's "Except Buses". Have removed the access=no on the via point.

Hi kawino85,

Sewage works have more or less been tagged with industrial from when I started with OSM in 2009. If redundant substantial remediation is required before using for other purposes (another quite good indication of industrial processes).

There are plenty of Geograph photos showing the stretch from South Parade to Water Street is bus only, also http://rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/2/news-headlines/104568/drivers-caught-on-camera-in-tram-only-zones. Not sure I got this far when I surveyed in 2017

Hi,

Was just looking for "heath" names in Warwickshire (based on Steven Falk's map - https://mobile.twitter.com/StevenFalk1/status/1203423627863085058) and noticed that the end bit of Heath Lane, Brinklow is mapped as unpaved, which is very unusual for highway=unclassified. This Geograph images suggests it is actually asphalted https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5503798.

Regards,

A request to both, if terracing a terrace & changing to building=house, please also add house=terraced as it preserves information otherwise lost (or awkward to determine). The house tag can be used for other types two, but at present iD supports these as explicit building types, so there is little mileage in changing such things at present.

Welcome to OSM,

Thanks for this, I've moved it a couple of buildings over opposite Prebend Passage (which incidentally suggests that we've made the Crown too big) and added the address.

I think your original location should be Cafe Piano (if still open), the first building on Westgate.

Thanks, again,

Should the Central Catholic High School also be excluded from the CMU polygon? Latter looks a bit unrefined (e.g. excludes TCS Hall & includes parts of properties on W side of S Neville St.

Looks like this area is getting a bit of attention recently, well done!

I suspect Roche Bobois have moved. There's another shop at Sihlporte node/9115808230 (is that the old EPA building?)

Hmm, it would have been better to check with me. The footpath is closed ("gating order") not open.

I guess in principle it is equivalent to addr:interpolation ways on either side of the road.

19017633

Experimental. The vector represents which way housenumbers go w.r.t to the street way, so opposite means that house numbers rise in the opposite direction to the direction of the way. The idea is that one can start to infer predicted housenumbers based on the vector direction. I stopped thinking about this in detail when openaddresses kicked off as John Murray had more sophisticated techniques. Of course when it died, I'd lost the impetus.

Not sure why I added it here (perhaps based on FHRS address values).

I presume one of the routing engines was directing people to one of the roads either side of the station. However, moving the station node is not particularly good practice. A simple foot way through the entrance foyer would have sufficed: in fact it exists, has done so for 2 years: way/761027930/history.

It would be worth: a) seeing if routers accept highway=corridor (presumably not); b) use an explicit railway station entrance tag (osm.wiki/Tag%3Arailway%3Dtrain_station_entrance); c) change the highway=corridor to highway=footway with covered=yes. Note the latter might not entirely resolve routing because the platforms are mapped as areas.

Station nodes are used for other purposes than foot or car access as well.

Hi,

I noticed that you changed the foot route through the hospital to the tram stop from highway=footway to highway=corridor and removed the correct indoor tagging. These tags were chosen for a specific reason: the route through the hospital is a much shorter interconnection that going round the outside which is what routers now do.

Fortunately I haven't needed to catch a tram in a hurry recently, but this change disables my ability to check how much time I have in hand.

Hi,

If you change terrace to house can you also add house=terraced? Otherwise we are losing a bit of information.

Thanks,

Hi andrea_jp,

Did you mean to add bus stop Albula to the route master of Bus 3? This is unconventional. I see you are a new mapper so that you may have done this inadvertently. Sorry for not writing in German.

Hi Bernard,

I think this pretty regular tagging for people who wish to map car parks in detail (obviously a bit prone to overlaps etc). Probably rare in the UK, but I think increasingly popular elsewhere.

It's also pretty much required to adequately map disabled parking (whether in a car park or isolated places) for actual use. By extension, I'd say that therefore valid for all parking spaces (including other categories such as "mother & child" ones).
