Hi, as it appears that cyclists entering the circular junction don't have to give way to cyclists who are already on the junction, the junction=roundabout tag isn't correct.

junction=circular could be used instead.

I have readded the is_sidepath* tags, although I've also changed this tagging from the (former) tertiary to secondary.

A lot of geometries will have to be estimates.

I've made a guess based on how it looks that they will use some of the new Dock Rd as part of a temporary access road into the back of the Expressway car park so that they can complete the works/kerbing on the NE side of the current dead end to Dock Rd.

I passed around there yesterday. Apart from the mid-section of Beaconsfield, almost all of the roads are constructed, and where relevant include oneway arrow markings and contraflow cycle logos.

They remain mostly unopened but they are well beyond being changeable. Alignments can always be adjusted later on using GPS or aerial imagery.

Well, there are no actual lanes (including cycle lanes) at these 2 crossing points.

It's not impossible that the temporary crossing on Manor Rd near Pond Rd could get relocated before the diversion begins.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if the advertised cycle route diversion changes to use the full length of Leywick St.

I'll be away when the diversion starts so if you're going to be surveying the diversion, OSM might need some adjustments to get things accurate.

I was told the ramp to the Greenway from Manor Rd is to get widened before the closure begins. I suspect its width won't actually change though. They have cleared the vegetation already which might be the 'widening', but it will be interesting to see if they do move the handrails further apart. (The steps nearby will remain open.)

The 18 month closure will be to the east of Canning Rd. This is the major work involved in this scheme.

The closure to the west of Canning Rd will only be for 2 or 3 months, possibly Dec 2024-Feb 2025.

Yeah, and the new signallised crossing on the northern arm is also for cyclists.

At this rate, Cycleway 2 might eventually get to Ilford by 2054!

It looks like you may have extended a couple of walking routes along osm.org/way/801938376 that presumably should not continue beyond the crossing on the main road.

I just did updates here and noticed the problem that got introduced. Someone had wrongly extended the currently open cycleway to permit pedestrian access.

I've rectified this now and added pedestrian access round the works at this spot.

Hi Bernard, they are currently realigning some of the old cycleway here and constructing new cycle tracks to create a continuous cycleway on both sides of the roads.

Mapping-wise it a bit fiddly at the moment, but I do check on the works more or less weekly.

I completely agree with with not using the longer "opposite_*" tags, but I can't see any reason to deprecated the simple "cycleway=opposite" where there is no contraflow lane.

It does at least hopefully deter StreetComplete from applying tags for a fantasy "shared_lane".

Good to know. I'll probably go to check on the Hoe St works in the next day or 2, so I'll go check on this crossing too.

Micromapping of the cycling infrastructure - best viewed on the CyclOSM layer.

Not sure whether you'd map route discs on bollards as guideposts... but I did spot one just south (I think) of osm.org/node/11079475792.

149496194 over 1 year ago

I've added another guidepost (osm.org/node/11781794485) to the Green Link Walk (approx location). I've seen another map show the route going the park at Clapton Square, but this guidepost would indicate that it doesn't.

I've walked it via the park and it's very much not step-free at either side of the park. The route is billed as being step-free, so I'd be very confident that it doesn't go through the park but passes the guidepost instead.

(Not step-free to cross the road at osm.org/way/1078872732 either, but that does seem to be the signed route).

This junction has been revised as part of the new Cycleway 4 route. Previous traffic islands were removed and the northbound roadway has been shifted. The dual carriageway now ends before this junction and doesn't exist on the tertiary road or to the SW of the junction.

You've also readded an ASL that no longer exists and the cycle links from the tertiary road to Cycleway 4 are completely wrong too.

Although your revision reflects the old layout, the previous mapping already reflected the new layout. I think it would be best to revert your changes here.

Regards,
Mac

Hi. You seem to have restored this junction to how it was before its layout was changed in the last few months.

None as far as I know. I know Westminster have hinted at some E-W route(s) via Mayfair and a route to Soho, but they don't seem to have specified how and whether previously indicated alignments have been changed.

I wouldn't really expect Queen's Walk to be changed until there's a route developed between Mayfair and Green Park. It potentially might never happen (though full cycle network wasn't intended to be finished till 2041)... but they'd presumably develop an alternative parallel route further east if no route goes along Queen's Walk.

I've removed those duplicated cycleways now.
