... was correctly tagged as highway=secondary

Actual source used: OS OpenMap Local (April 2024)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

In the UK, highway=secondary is used for B roads, which Leigham Park Road does not appear to be.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Unfortunately, changing the address of a building on Whitechapel Road does not move it to India Dock Road. Also, deleting the building=yes tag implies that the building at 21 Whitechapel Road is no longer there.

The best way for you to add your business at the current address is to add a point at its physical location on the map. Please let me know if you need any help with this.

I have had to revert your edit in order to restore the building and address. Please could you confirm whether Fujifilm at 21 Whitechapel Road has now closed?

Why? They clearly aren't anything of the sort. Urban living streets in the UK have "Home Zone" signage and are quite rare. Fixed by another mapper.

Thanks for fixing that! I really should check for mis-tagged living streets (nearly all of them in London) as part of routine QA.

Thanks. I'm reasonably sure that the crossings here have been upgraded from pelican to toucan since the last Bing street side image capture. I've added a note for confirmation, which will hopefully be resolved by one of the local mappers before my next visit.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding the speed limit on Sherfield Avenue. Where it's the default 30 mph limit on a restricted road (one with street lighting) like this, you can optionally add maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_restricted

It helps other mappers if you leave a meaningful changeset comment - see osm.wiki/Good_changeset_comments

Hi jajana3/mapeing/demise123/demisee,

Please don't map for the renderer. There is no physical carriageway separation on Castlemaine Avenue where it joins Grange Road at its western end, just paint markings.

Adding fiction to the map because you think it looks prettier in OSM Carto is unhelpful and detrimental to routing.

If the building is still there, it still needs a building=* tag.

That's right. Sometimes the choice of landuse or natural as a key can seem a bit arbitrary.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for updating this. It looks fine to me.

No problem, thanks for getting back to me.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Unfortunately, your edit dragged a fence and a tree row across other map features. Reverted in changeset/163523175

I've uploaded the trace as @rskedgell/traces/11784266

Thanks! Traffic planners like to make things challenging for mappers :-)

I'll be doing a few more updates this week, roughly following the route of Sunday's half marathon, while it's till fresh in my memory.

Hi, just a quick reminder that sidewalk=separate applies only when there the separate sidewalk is drawn as a footway in OSM. If there is a sidewalk separated by a verge, but not drawn separately, the tagging you probably want is sidewalk=both + verge=both

It's great for our older housing stock. I've tended to add source:addr:housenumber=NLS... or interpolation, in case actual street surveys find that houses have been renumbered. That's partly buildings being subdivided, but also renumbering when roads have been renamed.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for updating this.

The only thing I might change would be to split the roads where they pass through/under buildings, using the tag tunnel=building_passage rather than layer=-1. Therese more information at tunnel=building_passage

Could I ask you about access on roads within the development? If there's a gate at the entrance from the public part of Lisgar Terrace and visitors/taxis/delivery vehicles need to be let in, then the current access=private is fine. If visitors can just drive in, then ownership=private + access=destination might be a better fit.

Thanks for spotting this and updating the map.

I've made a couple of additional tweaks, including adding highway=crossing nodes where the path intersects the A264 and adding the "!" hazard signs on the carriageway - see changeset/163314419

Hopefully the crossing nodes will help the navigation applications which you use will do something useful with the tags on the carriageways (particularly maxspeed=70 mph + expressway=yes). You may have to wait a couple of weeks for their systems to update.

Please don't map for the renderer by adding pretend dual carriageway segments where no physical lane separation exists.

See osm.wiki/Dual_carriageway :
"Roads are *not* to be mapped as dual carriageways if the two directions are only separated by paint. This includes single or multiple painted centre lines, hatched areas, channelized turn lanes, two-way turn lanes, by flush medians, or by any other means that is not a physical barrier to vehicles."
