Yes, that's relating to squares / plazas (which you could arguably include the Broadmead example).

This thread from a couple of years ago seems to go through the arguments pretty well - essentially just saying pedestrian roads mapped with area=yes are likely from before area:highway=pedestrian was a thing : https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/are-pedestrian-areas-tagging-for-the-renderer/107162/29

Good point, and a good place to start from. I feel those are perceived a little more as a continuous pedestrian area rather than a 'street', though. Still, they probably shouldn't have both the area and way tagged by name - would have to run that past a few other mappers. I guess ultimately it comes down to whether we feel Overton Rd has changed from a street to a 'square' or not

Probably more suitable to use area:highway=pedestrian for the area way, otherwise you've effectively got two ways describing the same object. Also worth removing the sidewalk=* and updating the surface=*? Presumably you surveyed this, as bing doesn't yet show the changes?

Hi Alex, could you use local_ref=* instead of including the indicator in the name=* ? I did as you have done when I started out and am now regretting it! Decent renderers will append local_ref=* to the stop name anyway for users.

It means I've got fat fingers! I've now corrected the typo. Thanks for the help

This is deliberate as the bridge is currently demolished and under re-construction. Prior changeset comments and an existing map note explain the situation.

Yes, that's what I gather. Are you able to correct it?

Hi, any chance that you know enough of the transit hub changes at airport to reroute the bus relations? Currently this (presumably temporary?) footway is breaking the bus routes: thttps://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1391007287

Hi Andy,
I was a little surprised to find two relations at the time. I found that Sustrans don't indicate that the route will even get as far west as Porthcawl, and that "at the moment, only short sections of the route are open" https://www.sustrans.org.uk/find-a-route-on-the-national-cycle-network/route-88/
I thought I'd wait until more of the route was surveyed by mappers before deciding how / if to merge the two relations.

Why have you created a carriageway separation here? This doesn't meet local mapping practices.

Can you please respond on one of these changesets or to my DM to find a solution to these edits you're trying to make. I will continue to revert any changes which are obviously incorrect before reaching out to the OSM Data Working Group should I-, or any other local user who has reached out to you-, not receive a response.

That feels like a misuse of the primary tag waterway= to me. I've not come across ways being effectively used as sat-nav routes or marine parking aisles. Have you got any examples you've followed?
Looking at it again, there's probably an argument for moving the other waterway=canal to historic:waterway too as it no longer exists as a canal, only a marina "parking aisle".

Did you mean to tag this way as derelict too? Don't want to delete it if so:
way/1256124288

I thought the same a split-second after hitting 'upload'. I might dwell on it for a little while longer and bundle it with some inevitable future updates shortly.

Hi, have you ever had any contact with the user whose changes you've reverted here?
@Atanas%20Angelov
I, and others, have reached out on other changesets without success.

Please, please, please halt your changes in this area until you have had the chance to discuss your method of mapping via my other changeset comments and DM. I'm currently finding a very large number of errors which will take time to revert.

Hi, Atanas, I've gone ahead and reverted this changeset as it's quite evidently an error. There are no bus guideways here currently and the modal access tags were up to date. What were you trying to achieve with these changes?

Have now updated to better represent access: changeset/168930634

I'll have a look later today, but I strongly suspect that it's a mapping error by Atanas. Although not designated 1-way, the end of Dulcie rd there does work as an effective mini rotary preventing gridlock where parked cars have made it too narrow for two lanes.

Those plans must surely be copyrighted, aren't they?
