There’s a gate/barrier restricting access? Can cars drive on it?

Re-read regarding private access please: “Note that it notes access, not ownership. Many privately owned roads are freely accessible for the general public without prior permission- in such case access=private would be wrong and it may be access=permissive if the owner can revoke this permission at their own discretion.” access=*

I personally ran (surveyed) this street and there were absolutely no restrictions to access to make it where it should be marked private.

A street sign saying ‘private way’ does not mean it’s private. “Note that it notes access, not ownership. Many privately owned roads are freely accessible for the general public without prior permission- in such case access=private would be wrong and it may be access=permissive if the owner can revoke this permission at their own discretion.”

I typically only use private when there is a gate physically restricting access.

At most these, these should be marked as permissive vs. private. They are listed in the city GIS referenced as public and have no restrictions to access.

Correct. I went out there in the Fall and ran the entire island. Updated everything based on the signs physically present.

Seems like abandoned railway still might be the most appropriate.

I don’t agree that it’s incorrect.

Nice catch! :)

These were not done erroneously. They were done since they're service roads that belong to the cemetery. Please do not make these changes again.

Thanks for letting me know. Last thing I would want is to eliminate them from the map. I changed this to a path and reverted some others I changed from path.

We could do path but the abandoned railway seemed the most appropriate and matched several other sections with the same name.

I recently restored them as hamlets.

Going forward, how should the parts that are not recognized by the 'city limits' but are reflected with a mailing address in the city be updated?

Thanks for letting me know. I reverted the changes. Apologies for my mistake.

Possibly. There were definitely some issues with having two admin levels on Bourne.

Forgive me, but what is the significance of using a place node? This was the first instance I’ve seen anyone use them. For mapping purposes, it’s important to show the admin boundaries and I think the place nodes were causing some mapping issues.

I assumed they would truncate where the road actually ends. What's the rationale for having it extend into the road as residential vs. link? Happy to correct but was trying to make it more accurate (or so I thought).

Do you think 'permissive' might be more appropriate? I don't recall seeing any signs in here and there were no gates. Your argument for making Newport streets private were the gates and there were none here. Trying to make productive edits and not have edit wars. :-)
