| 155234338 | You can't use Google Maps or other copyrighted material as a source, unless they have a licence which is compatible with OpenStreetMap. The Google Maps Terms of Use explicitly forbid using Google Maps content - both map data and Google Street View - for making any other content. It includes using them for OSM mapping.

| 155257594 | The fixme says "Area is approximate - details to be clarified". It's a bit of a stretch to get from that to the area being "... land which was previously developed which is not currently in use. Brownfield land may be vacant or scheduled for future development." The way you edited is actually part of a correctlt tagged landuse=residential multipolygon, relation/12286304 I've reverted your edit. You can read the documentation on landuse=residential and landuse=brownfield here:

| 155217968 | Please stop mistagging short-term temporary closures like this. A temporary restriction can be implemented using a conditional restriction. osm.wiki/Conditional_restrictions You have been asked not to do this on multiple occasions in the past, yet have chosen to damage the OpenStreetMap database for your own convenience and cannot pretend ignorance. |
|
| 154894093 | In that case, the tagging you needed was access=private Please do not add incorrect information to OpenStreetMap in an attempt to fix problems with an unspecified and probably buggy router. They are service roads, not paths and there is clearly (private) access for motor vehicles as the aerial imagery shows. osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer Fixed in

| 154662740 | Might it be better to use proposed:railway=rail rather than railway=proposed for this? Also, is there an OpenStreetMap licence-compatible source for this proposal? |

| 154722413 | I'm absolutely certain that it isn't. The exception plate on the no entry sign says "except buses". The wider category of PSVs is not allowed. |
|
| 154690896 | For residential gardens, you might find that leisure=garden + garden:type=residential + access=private works better than landuse=grass. If you're going to micromap planted areas in private gardens, landuse=flowerbed (rendered in Carto) or natural=shrubbery (not currently rendered) are better than natural=scrub. |
|
| 154661668 | They didn't take the hint. |
|
| 154667982 | If the ramp is still physically present, it was perfectly fine as it was, tagged with access=no. |
|
| 154666950 | You asked for a review of your changeset. OK: it's vandalism and your changeset comment is gibberish. |
|
| 154665201 | As you have not given a source for this, I think it's fairly safe to assume that this is little better than guesswork. Also, please make meaningful changeset comments. |
|
| 154645281 | This was already tagged correctly as motor_vehicle=private + private=residents There is no *public* access for motor vehicles, but some motor vehicles not covered by other access tags are permitted to use it, specifically: A1 access permit holders and refuse collection vehicles. It helps to read the traffic order in order to understand road restrictions, as these are usually published in The Gazette under the OpenStreetMap-compatible Open Government Licence. The initial traffic order was The Newham (Prescribed Route) (No. 1) Experimental Traffic Order 2019, which I believe has now been made permanent.

|
| 154596584 | In a case like this, it might be worth using an appropriate lifecycle prefix on the highway=* tag (possibly combined with a note=* and/or check_date=* tags) rather than deletion, otherwise someone will probably re-add them. |
|
| 154595269 | Guess what: I don't believe you. The restriction was created by The Buckinghamshire County Council (Bletchley Pus Station) (No Entry Except Buses) Order 1985. There is no corresponding order revoking that. "The effect of the Order, which will come into operation on 29th July 1985, is to prohibit any vehicle other than a bus, coach, contract bus express carnage, school bus works bus or security vehicle proceeding in Saxon Street from entering Bletchley Bus Station. Exemptions in the Order relate to building operations removal of obstructions maintenance of the road sewers pipes, telegraph lines, fire bngade, police and ambulance duties immediate emergency maintenance work on a defective vehicle and in pursuance of statutory powers." The correct tagging of the above is:

| 154594600 | You DO know who reverted it. You could and should have read the changeset comment. Please DO NOT implement temporary closures in this way - use conditional restrictions. If you can't work out how to do that, tough, don't edit the map at all. |
|
| 154595269 | The tag for that is motor_vehicle=private There are separate tagging schemes for parking, but that would involve actually reading a wiki page. |
|
| 154538813 | OK, so we have a bus station where *all* motor vehicles have a legal right to drive? If you ever take and pass your driving theory test, you will hopefully have learned that a no entry sign (TSRGD diagram 616) with a plate below stating "except buses" means that no vehicle may enter except a bus. In OSM, this is tagged as:
You do not need to add bicycle=no because bicycles are vehicles. You certainly do not need to add horse=no or motor_vehicle=yes because both of those statements are provably false. |

| 154543302 | This was access=no yesterday, now it doesn't exist at all? |
