That's a great project you've got going there!
Yeah that's great that they don't conflict (emergency vs amenity) so easy to use both. I think in some situations you can have multiple things under the same key, with the values separated by semicolons or commas.
Nice work!

You're welcome! We're all still learning. Thanks for the reply and for taking the suggestion onboard. Regarding the question of showing they're the same unit, I'm not totally sure. If I'm not totally sure how best to map something, I sometimes try to find other local (or not so local), similar examples and see how they've been mapped.
This ( https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/public-access-defibrilators-emergency-defibrillator/112371 ), in the section about booths may help, but it's talking specifically about disused telephone booths rather than active ones. It's quite possible you can combine tags and make them one object, but I'm no expert.
Actually, I've just found one local example, here: osm.org/node/1985840345#map=19/52.052109/1.153915&layers=N which has both emergency=defibrillator and amenity=telephone .
Also, if you run this query on Overpass Turbo, you can find more examples (just move around the map and press the 'Run' button to find more examples of features with those two tags to see how they've been mapped. Hope this helps! :-)

Hi EA-payphones! Excellent work spotting this and adding it. Just thought you might like to know that there's actually a specific tag for describing the exact location of a defibrillator. It's 'defibrillator:location'. The information you added to the 'note' tag would perhaps be best added to a 'defibrillator:location' tag instead. :-) More information about other useful tags for AEDs can be found here: osm.wiki/Tag:emergency=defibrillator?uselang=en-GB
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your reply and for taking my suggestion onboard. I only discovered it myself a little while ago but thought it worth mentioning. That's a good question about the parking. I'm really not sure what to suggest. I haven't come across this exact situation before and I don't often map parking restrictions. This page might help, but it's mostly talking about more complex cases. I haven't had a chance to look through the entire page. Feel free to take a look and see what you think. osm.wiki/Street_parking#Parking_restrictions:_common_signs But either way, thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi! Nice work. Just a little note. The wiki regarding the definition (in OSM terms) and use of service=driveway ( osm.wiki/Tag:service%3Ddriveway ) defines it as "a minor service road leading to a specific property". I'm not familiar with this little road in Needham Market, but it looks like it might lead to multiple properties. Would you happen to know? I totally understand your reasons for adding this tag, and I know the term driveway gets used a lot in England and has various meanings, but in OSM terms it seems this tag is for driveways leading to a single property. Just wondering if it might be better to just leave it as 'highway=service' and remove the driveway tag. What do you think?

Apologies for the large bbox. I don't control where the different features are selected on Pic4Review. I only noticed once I see the finished changeset.

Hi murble! Just a very quick question about the "first aid kit" you mapped. Is there a chance you mean the red box on the wall? If so, it's a bleed control kit and has already been mapped here. osm.org/node/12120852930 If it's something different, please disregard this! :-)

:-D Haha yes it's easily done. Thought I'd check, as sometimes Ipswich house numbering can be a little strange!

Nice work here BarryMiles! Just wondering if there's a chance 2 & 4 Shelly Street are perhaps the wrong way round?

159579802 9 months ago

Just to confirm I have updated the ref and included an "image" tag too.

159579802 9 months ago

Thanks for the question. I'll check this tomorrow. Probably yes. I was in a hurry and only checked the collection times. I'm usually more thorough. :-)

Thanks for doing this, and the other local address fixes. I'd never heard of "addr:parentstreet" before!

158651574 9 months ago

Sorry, forgot to add comment. This was just adding more houses and correcting street alignment, etc, to match Cadastral Parcels.

:-) Nice work! Thanks for the update. I agree it's a much safer route than Old London Road. Best regards.

156289233 11 months ago

No worries. Thanks for what you're doing. Keep up the great work! My comments were just from observations and because I live locally. Yes it's an interesting read. Pipestems were new to me too. I gather from the OSM wiki that it's a term common in the USA. Personally I've never heard of it as a term in the UK. Please do whatever you feel is right here. It's an unusual road and combination of factors. :-)

156289233 11 months ago

Sorry, me again! Possibly "highway=service" and "access=private", since it services multiple properties but is technically a "private drive" (there's a sign at one end saying such). This way routing algorithms should avoid it for through-traffic for motor vehicles, but maybe also add "foot=yes" since it's a legally a public right of way? What do you think?

156289233 11 months ago

Hi pole_climber! Well spotted, you're absolutely right it should be a service road, not a track. I'd personally question 'service=driveway'. Perhaps just leave it as highway=service and delete the 'service=driveway'? osm.wiki/Tag:service=driveway suggests 'driveway' would only service one property, which isn't the case here.

Nice work on this. Just wondering why the tree has an address, or if it's maybe a mistake. Does someone live in it? :-)

Sorry, the title of this changeset was meant to read "Added a missing AED after survey". I forgot to change it from my previous changeset.
