Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

I'm not sure what you were trying to map, but there isn't a disconnected residential road in the back garden of a house on Kingsley Way. I have deleted it.

Please make relevant changeset comments, as a hashtag produced by Humanitarian OSM (HOTOSM) is gibberish when not used in its intended context.

Feel free to delete the *_link ways, but please update the lanes=*, turn_lanes=*, sidewalk*=* and cycleway*=* tags on way/1194242332 and way/1194242339

Yes, the tagging should have been amended. As you didn't see fit to do that, it was quicker to undelete.

@Sandal man The size of the changesets made by a StreetComplete user is unlikely to be under their direct control. There's a description of the problem at https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/4582

I have prefixed the tags on the pontoon with removed:* in case you need to re-use the alignment for a future event.

Why would an alpine refuge in Iceland have names in English and Spanish, names which look more like descriptions?

Thanks for updating these.

This isn't an error by you, but unfortunately the iD editor presents the general access=* key as if it were likely to be relevant to a highway=footway. This is very rarely the case. Setting access=yes theoretically means that all transport modes can use the footway. Setting access=no in combination with other tags which override it has no effect on routing, but unhelpfully causes the standard OSM Carto tile layer to render the footway in faint grey dots instead of the usual red.

There's some detail on public rights of way in your area, which you might find useful, at https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/progress/herts/dacorum/hemel-hempstead/

Sorry for the delay, I got sidetracked by other things.

I've made a couple of tweaks around the Buxton Road/Leytonstone Road junction, including adding bicycle=yes (which shouldn't be necessary) to the section of road which also has separate cycleways.

No problem - and the mistake wasn't really yours, but the design of the editor.

Many thanks for updating this and other features on Formentera.

If you change the road type to highway=pedestrian or highway=footway, motor_vehicle=no and foot=yes are implied and redundant. Adding access=no may cause it to be rendered as if it were a private road.

It's very poor design of the iD editor to present the most common access tags for highway types where they are unlikely to be correct, as it wrongly gives the impression that they need to be populated when this really isn't the case.

No problem, it was a long time ago. As you're still an active mapper, I wanted to check before removing those fixme tags.

Removed in changeset/141010437

Nearly every road in Eivissa was tagged with fixme=needs review back in 2010. I've removed these with SCEE while updating any other highway features, but is there any reason to retain any these 13 years later on? Whatever needed reviewing back then has almost certainly been addressed by better imagery and ground surveys and without specifying what needs reviewing, they're just noise.

Please could you consider making the bounding box of your changesets smaller? Editing on two continents means that people interested in all the areas between Krakow and Charlotte see this.

This beach already exists as a polygon, with its name in Catalan (Platja de ses Figueretes). Would it be better to remove this node and add the Spanish name as a name:es tag to the polygon?

Although iD rather unhelpfully presents boxes for all common access modes whether they're relevant to the highway type or not, a highway=footway is implicitly bicycle=no + horse=no + motor_vehicle=no. Adding them does no harm, but it's redundant and usually pointless, unless reflecting an explicitly signed restriction (like a no pedal cycles sign on a footway). The only access tag on this object which has any effect is foot=designated, because it is a public right of way.

I wonder how many of the other 700+ edits made by that user are real and have OSM-compatible sources?

Rather than using landuse=grass for gardens, there's the leisure=garden tag. For residential gardens, garden:type=residential and access=private are usually added.

leisure=garden

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding some much needed detail in Shenfield.

I hope the following are useful. They're not intended as a criticism - after 6 years I'm still finding new or better ways to tag objects on the map.

For residential gardens, rather than using natural=grassland, you can use the tagging combination

leisure=garden + garden:type=residential + access=private

The documentation on leisure=garden is at leisure=garden

When you add private outdoor swimming pools, leisure=swimming_pool is quite correct, but it's worth adding access=private and location=outdoor.
leisure=swimming_pool

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and many thanks for updating this and other features around Gravesend.

Feel free to ignore the following, as the access tagging "should" work for all but the most broken routing software anyway.

If the closure is likely to be for at least several months or indefinite, it might be worth adding changing it to disused using a lifecycle prefix e.g. disused:highway=service

It might also be worth adding the gates, as nodes with barrier=gate + access=no + locked=yes

The documentation on lifecycle prefixes is at osm.wiki/Lifecycle_prefix

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for updating this part of Nettleden with Potten End BR 5.

I don't know if you would find it helpful, but there's a resource for checking the mapped status of public rights of way at https://osm.mathmos.net/prow/progress/herts/dacorum/nettleden-with-potten-end/

There are also some suggestions for tagging PRoWs at osm.wiki/Access_provisions_in_the_United_Kingdom#Public_Rights_of_Way
