Fixed in changeset/175176162

My apologies - I had added Austin Crescent to other buildings without an addr:street=* set in that block, then realised that it wasn't a safe assumption. The houses on Barcote Walk shouldn't have been included in that.

I'm pretty sure that I haven't removed any numbers. Happy to revert any street name changes lost from your SC changeset, I'll do it tomorrow.

The footways appear to be have names from OS Open Names, although as they don't have USRNs, it's hard to tell the extent.

I've found out how to fix this problem. Using "update selection" (Ctlr+Alt+U) in JOSM removes the action=modify attribute for features which haven't actually changed.

Many thanks for spotting and fixing this. An armchair mapper based outside the UK introduced this error ~7 months ago and it should have been spotted much sooner.

No, you caused a unit issue with the speed limit. UK speed limits are in mph and the unit needs to be explicitly specified as OSM's default is kph.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

You have created a hotel POI near Brent Cross, London, UK, but given it an address in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

If the hotel is where you have added it, it needs to have its real physical/postal address in the UK. If it's in Chiang Mai, that's were the POI needs to be added.

Thanks. I'll leave the tags untouched until/unless a consensus develops.

There are probably some other objects which fall into the category of not being able to receive mail, but still having some sort of address to describe their location. Electricity substations, bus stops and postboxes might be cases where some data consumers could find it useful.

Thanks - updated in changeset/175072611

As these aren't addressable objects in the usual sense, might it be better to use postal_code=* rather than addr:postcode=* - or are there data consumers which rely on the latter?

@5bp I restored the POI which you added for Five Boroughs Pizza when I reverted the nodes you accidentally dragged in your previous edit.

No problem, it's probably one of the most common misunderstandings with access tags in the UK. Generally access tags should reflect the legal situation rather than whether it's safe or appropriate for a particular access mode.

Pedestrian routing software may prefer to use the separate sidewalks and tags like sidewalk:both=separate on the road should help with that. I think there are some cases where the implementation chooses to ignore separate sidewalks, in which case foot=no on the road might cause a problem.

(Review requested)

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding this.

For data consumers to understand what this is, including map renderers, you will need to add some other tags.

From your changeset comment, I would guess that it might be these:

amenity=social_facility
social_facility=outreach
social_facility:for=juvenile

You can have a look at the documentation for these tags on linked wiki. There may well be other tags which better describe the situation.
amenity=social_facility

If you'd like any help with this, or anything else to do with OSM, please feel free to reply below.

That's a good idea. I'll add some sort of progress table to the import wiki page after I get back from SoTM.

After the import stage, I'm trying to fill in incomplete addresses for each sector. That's been done for all of E4, E6 and E7, plus E10 7, E17 5, E17 7 and E17 8 so far.

Hi and welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Could I just check the situation on Pencester Road? As it was previously tagged, oneway=yes + oneway:bus=no made it one way for general traffic, but two way for buses.

Changing it to oneway=no makes it a two way street for all traffic, not just buses.

Also, please note that I attempted to contact the user who added the incorrect address and waited 3 weeks for a response before reverting the changeset.

The addr:* tags refer to the *actual* address of the object, not that of its owner or operator. There is the abandoned contact:addr:*

Feel free to add those tags, together with appropriate wikidata links, if you have an OSM-compatible source for the information.

At he moment it won't go over 100 features. If no unpleasant surprises happen in the next few weeks, I'll ask in the community forum for feedback on increasing the limits in the script.
