Thank you and welcome to OSM. Is this road really one way only, and if so, what other roads it is connected to? Also, what is the builder and the name of this residential area?

User_5589, I came here expecting vandalism or at least controversial changes. Instead, what I've seen was a well mapped roundabout adhering to OSM conventions and a previous version that was objectively incorrect, as it introduced ways and crossings where they don't physically exist.

I realise your intention was to map the layout of individual traffic lanes. That's a desirable outcome but, as of now, there is no satisfactory solution to it. You could try adding area:highway or lanes tags. Or even put forward a whole new proposal for broader discussion.

I came here after reading user_5589's post in Talk-GB and I have only verified the changes in osmcha using Bing imagery.

I see robw has made subsequent fixes in changesets #101074201, #101074494 and #101074890. User_5589, are they addressing the issues you have raised?

I can also see this changeset has indeed mainly removed non-existent islands/ways, so calling it destructive is not warranted. For multiple lanes not separated by traffic islands the consensus is to use tagging, not to create multiple highways.

Overall, this roundabout is mapped very well indeed, much better than most I've seen. Thank you both.

Thanks. Reverted in #98147223.

Hi Adrie Stoopen,
You've deleted a section of a major road. Is that intended and correct?

Hi BCNorwich, I've just noticed you have already sorted out the multiple names issue. Do you mind if I revert to the previous residential area mapping and just add a place node (or a place polygon, if you prefer) for the neighbourhood?

Hi Imangus,
These residential areas are not called "Redrow" (that's a construction company's name). I think these names should be removed, do you agree?
There is an unofficial name, assigned by Redrow, "Hauxton Meadows". I'm not sure how attached are the residents of Hauxton to it. If it is in common use it may be a good idea to place a place=neighbourhood node in it.
There is also a "Hauxton Meadows" name on the construction area, which is valid, but this area has now shrunk considerably. If you meant the construction work is still ongoing outside of it, please feel free to stretch it as needed.
Best regards,

No worries, it was indeed trickier than I initially thought it is. It should be fixed now. Please let me know if you spot any problems.

Hi, could you check if you haven't accidentally dragged a node, please.

Thanks, fixed in 96454743.

Hi sladen,

I like what you've done with publicly accessible areas. If you were to expand this level of mapping to a larger portion of Cambridge I would be happy to join you with it.

As for private gardens, for privacy reasons please limit the level of detail to larger features observable from the outside or air: buildings, fences, tennis courts, pools etc. The latter tagged as access=private.

My main gripe was of course the private BBQ mapped as a public memorial site. That's just plain vandalism.

I've added tunnel=building_passage.

Reverted as descriptive name ;-)

Thank you and sorry again. I noticed some objects you have originally mapped (mainly trees) got badly misaligned by me realigning roads and buildings to improving imagery. I've corrected some of them but many finer features are not visible on Bing.

Hi Craig,
Apologies for reverting your changeset. Please align imagery before editing (in iD: press 'b', then click and drag the "Imagery Offset" widget until it is aligned to objects). I used "OS OpenData StreetView" layer as a reference, it is supposed to be the most accurate and stable across versions.
Best regards,

I found it amusing how your changesets descriptions sound very specific, yet manage to say so little. Indeed, you haven't touched relations and you haven't deleted any nodes or ways, so they are, in fact, entirely correct. :-)

Apologies if I caused a conflict with my changes, I haven't noticed you are still editing. Let me know if you need terracing or other improvements for adding addresses - happy to help.

Do you have any references? Not that I disagree but for now it may be better to be less specific. That is: place=suburb and for addressing addr:suburb=Alconbury Weald or addr:locality=Alconbury Weald.
