Hi, I'm a little confused. Why have you changed this cycleway to a footway?

Hi, welcome to OSM. This edit seems to have gone a little wrong.
The village of Llandough/Llandochau Fach is already mapped, if there is something that needs updating the existing object should be changed rather than adding a new one.
The existing object is node/298042164 and it uses the correct tagging,
We use name:en for English names and name:cy for Welsh, int_name is not the correct tag to use in this case. A histroic name is only used if the name have changed, the name in name:cy is hardly historic.
I am going to remove this node as it is a duplication but will add name:en to the existing node.
It is interesting to see the name:cy as it far closer matches the pronounciation that I grew up with and the English name is just really wrong and confusing.
Cheers Phil

Hi Pete, you seem to be adding speed limits over quite a wide area and am wondering what source you are using.
Also I notice that several people, myself included, have commented on your changesets but you have yet to respond.
Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM. Thank you for adding these footpaths but you have made a classic beginner error of using the name tag for things that are not names or signed on the ground. But we do have a tag for such things, Eccleshall 84 and such should be put into the prow_ref tag.
Cheers Phil

Hi Eran
Thank you but how will you do that? What sources are you using?

Thanks Phil

Hi Eran
Without going and having a look there is no way to know what the purpose of this gate is, there is unfortunately no mapillary@trigpoint.me.uk available. My guess is that it is to prevent it being used as rat run so possibly motor_vehicle=private but that is just a guess.
Cheers Phil

Are pedestrians and cyclist really not allowed to pass this gate. It seems very unlikely to me.

Hello, please can you tell me why you changed this section of cycleway in a residential road?
Did you visit recently, what source are you using?

57155722

Hi, welcome to OSM.
Thank you for your addition. The name tag is for the actual name, we do not put the postcode in the name. I have moved it to the postal code tag although it is normal to put it on the actual addresses. Post is not delivered to the road.
Also it seems a bit odd that these streets only have an English name, is there really no welsh name on the signs?
Cheers Phil

Why do you say 'not valid'? I can see it on aerial imagery.

Hi, welcome to OSM. In OSM we map what exists on the ground. Waitrose warehouse and My Local are not parks. This is vandalism and is being reverted.

I have seen the cycleway, the signs were a bit hidden when I was driving.
It is not oneway however, there are no such signs and it would be very unusual to have a cycleway that is legally oneway.

Permissive means that a landowner has given permission for the public to use paths on their land. That is a very inappropriate tag to use on a public highway.

Maybe they can be different, but that is no reason to hold back improvements in mapping technique.

57063766

Actually I am not actually sure why a light rail would be mapped differently to any other station.

57063766

I have never heard of OpenAndroMaps, but they should update to reflect improved mapping. We should not tag for the renderer which changing these stations appears to be doing.

57063766

The wiki is intended to document how mappers map, it is not a set of instructions and should be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Mapping evolves over time and I suspect this page has not been updated yet.

Whilst an underground station would be difficult to map as an area and a node is appropriate an above ground station can easily be defined as an area and provides a better map.

57063766

Hi, I am not sure I understand why you have changed this? The wiki says stations can be mapped as areas or nodes.

57029045

But we map what we see on the ground, we do not have permission to map traffic orders.

Which brings me to way/568192362
What evidence is there that this is a cycleway, there are no signs and it just looks like a bit of pavement (sidewalk). There are no markings saying this is oneway.

What is the source of these edits?

57029045

Hi, way/568194283 is a shared use cycleway/footway. Why would foot access be permissive?

55865573

Hi, there is no need to tag foot=yes or bicycle=yes on trunk roads. It is assumed to be allowed unless signed otherwise. It is also not just allowed, they are right of way so the correct tagging would be *=designated.
Unnecessary tagging just makes it harder for mappers to spot the important tags.
