Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Please leave meaningful changeset comments describing what you have changed, not "N/A".

If this is a private driveway, the tagging which you probably need here is:

highway=service
service=driveway

osm.wiki/Tag:service%3Ddriveway

This would need to be bus=yes or bus=designated as "only" is not a recognised value for access tags.

If this is a closure for roadworks, it might be better implemented using a conditional restriction.

It's a lot less common than on leisure=pitch or leisure=swimming_pool, but I think it's likely to be useful for data consumers searching for sport facilities.

Please don't make stupid fantasy edits like this.

Hi, thanks for editing OpenStreetMap.

There's an example of a gold postbox here, which might give you some ideas of how to tag it:

The separate sidewalks which you added in this and probably other nearby changesets were arbitrarily deleted by @Derick Rethans (with the spurious justification that they are "fictitious") in osm.org/changeset/155281608

I feel that these deletions should be reverted, a it is at best tagging for the renderer and at worst vandalism.

I have opened a discussion about this at https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/undiscussed-mass-deletion-of-separate-sidewalks/117491

Please don't add fictitious values for road surfaces - public highways in Greater London are extremely unlikely to be fine_gravel.

Should the grass running track at Bushey Meads School be tagged with access=private?

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for adding these trees.

In general, the name tag is only used for trees with their own name, e.g. Major Oak in Sherwood Forest ( osm.org/node/455984558 )

To add the type of tree, you can use tags like species:en (for the common English name) and species (if known). If you would like any help with this, please let me know.

Fictional?! The footways exist and at least on All Souls Avenue are useful for pedestrian routing.

I spent a great deal of time fixing the decorative sidewalks added by @alisonlung and removing most of them. I did not do that in order for them to be arbitrarily deleted with your spurious justification.

Please revert and discuss your unilateral decision to deprecate separate footpaths in the community forums or Talk-GB.

For the boardwalks, adding bridge=boardwalk might be useful, if the description in the documentation corresponds to the situation on the ground.

Hi,

Thanks for updating your business address on OpenStreetMap.

I've made a couple of minor tweaks to your last two edits in osm.org/changeset/155278082
and
osm.org/changeset/155278168

When you edit OSM, you're editing the live database, rather than submitting an edit for approval.

The fixme says "Area is approximate - details to be clarified". It's a bit of a stretch to get from that to the area being "... land which was previously developed which is not currently in use. Brownfield land may be vacant or scheduled for future development."

The way you edited is actually part of a correctlt tagged landuse=residential multipolygon, osm.org/relation/12286304

I've reverted your edit.

You can read the documentation on landuse=residential and landuse=brownfield here:

Please stop mistagging short-term temporary closures like this. A temporary restriction can be implemented using a conditional restriction.

osm.wiki/Conditional_restrictions

You have been asked not to do this on multiple occasions in the past, yet have chosen to damage the OpenStreetMap database for your own convenience and cannot pretend ignorance.

In that case, the tagging you needed was access=private

Please do not add incorrect information to OpenStreetMap in an attempt to fix problems with an unspecified and probably buggy router.

They are service roads, not paths and there is clearly (private) access for motor vehicles as the aerial imagery shows.
