How does adding crossing:markings=yes to a crossing=marked node help anyone? Is this not just tagging for a validator?

If you're using Bing aerial imagery, in most cases you should be able to see what type of crossing it is and tag appropriately, e.g.
zebra - crossing:markings=zebra;dots + crossing_ref=zebra
pelican/puffin - crossing:markings=dots

crossing:markings=*

You appear to have tagged a section of Blachford Road as foot=no in response to a StreetComplete task asking "Are pedestrians forbidden to walk on this road here?"

I'm cannot find any street side imagery with an OSM-compatible licence to check that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. If there are no TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, then it is very unlikely that a prohibition exists.

The wiki states that access tags reflect legal access, not whether it would be pleasant, a good idea, safe, etc.
foot=*

As real pedestrian prohibitions on public roads other than those tagged as highway=motorway or motorroad=yes in the UK are quite rare and are always signed, this quest is probably better left disabled.

You appear to have tagged a section of Colney Lane as foot=no in response to a StreetComplete task asking "Are pedestrians forbidden to walk on this road here?"

I'm trying to find any evidence in Bing Streetside imagery that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. I cannot see any TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, so do not believe that a prohibition exists. Is this a new signed restriction created by a traffic order more recent than the Bing streetside imagery?

@Cebderby It is very rare to find a highway tagged with foot=no by the StreetComplete AddProhibitedForPedestrians quest where there is a real (and signed) prohibition.

@Falsernet No, there isn't. Removed in changeset/143112686

@TeaKayB Bing Streetside imagery does not show that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. I cannot see any TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, so do not believe that a prohibition exists. Is this a new signed restriction created by a traffic order more recent than the Bing streetside imagery?

You appear to have tagged a section of road between Putney Heath and Treville Street as foot=no in response to a StreetComplete task asking "Are pedestrians forbidden to walk on this road here?"

I'm trying to find any evidence in Bing Streetside imagery that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. I cannot see any TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, so do not believe that a prohibition exists. I also note that there is on street parking here, which is generally incompatible with a pedestrian prohibition (you can park, but not get out). Is this a new signed restriction created by a traffic order more recent than the Bing streetside imagery?

No response, so reverted in changeset/143101040

Parts of the cycle track are visible in both Bing aerial and streetside imagery.

building tags reinstated as building=yes in changeset/143077371

143060951

By removing the building=* tags, you have removed the buildings from the map. If there is a more appropriate building type than industrial (e.g. commercial or retail), please change the tag value.

143017463

We can't use Google's imagery for OpenStreetMap, however there are two imagery layers available in iD which appear to confirm the building's removal.

It is shown as a building and labelled "Gas Holder Station" in OS OpenData StreetView (April 2016)

The label and building are both absent in OS OpenMap Local (April 2023)

Thanks. The user who added it has made one other edit in the UK, adding a bus station in the middle of Woodford tube station. This has now been deleted.

@DaveF Of course it isn't. Removed in changeset/143049541

foot=*

Real pedestrian prohibitions are quite rare in the UK, other than on roads where pedestrians are implicitly prohibited due to being tagged with highway=motorway or motorroad=yes.

As real pedestrian prohibitions on normal roads in the UK are quite rare and are always signed, this quest is probably better left disabled.

You appear to have tagged a section of Snakes Lane East as foot=no in response to a StreetComplete task asking "Are pedestrians forbidden to walk on this road here?"

I'm trying to find any evidence in Bing Streetside imagery that there really is a (signed) pedestrian prohibition here. I cannot see any TSRGD diagram 625.1 "pedestrians prohibited" signs on the imagery, so do not believe that such a prohibition exists. Is this a new signed restriction created by a traffic order more recent than the Bing streetside imagery?
