Hi, thank you for your edit.

It is good practice when changing a node to a building to retain the node as part of the building, rather than deleting it. This helps to preserve history.

Cheers Phil

As silversurfer says, don't change this one but split your changes in future into smaller areas

Please keep changes like this to sensible areas. This covers two continents and creates a bounding box covering most of Europe and the eastern US and Canada.

Such changes should be split to limit them to a single country.

Still deleted osm.org/way/123801601/history

Also routing no longer seems to work.

If we use the railway rather than the dedicated shuttle route how do we then ensure that routing doesn't then continue around the circle to leave at the boarding station?

The problem we now have is that routing is seriously broken and is now using a service entrance, rather than the actual check in.

Whilst motor_vehicle=permissive may be true, not tagging everything inside that area as permissive is bound to cause problems, also not leaving the primary route as easy as possible for routers is bound to cause problems.

The wiki is intended to document mapping practices and not dictate. As SK53 says, OSM is 20 years old. Have we been doing it wrong for all that time? I don't think so.

These changes need to be reverted so that we can get back to a working point in time.

Hi
What is the User Manual of which you speak?

In OSM we have a wiki, but that is intended to document how we map, not dictate how we should map.

That tagging you are changing has been in place for a very long time, so is probably not broken.

Cheers Phil

This seems kind of unlikely, what is the source of these edits?

Hi
Please make changeset comments clear and informative to make it clear to local mappers what you are changing and why.
Relations such a "Strategic Road Network" do not belong in OSM, please read osm.wiki/Relations_are_not_categories

Also A458(T) (England) is not a name so doesn't belong in the name tag, A558 is a ref. Where did you source it from? (T) looks very antiquated and data consumers can derived from highway=trunk.

Cheers Phil

Hi, this edit has gone very wrong. An unclassified road is usual expected to be metalled. This is clearly a track across an arable field. Only used by tractors and very very unlikely to have public access and even less likely to have public vehicle access.

What sources are you using for these edits and why such a random username?

Fixing cuisine on a demolished:amenity.

Did you even look at the other tags?

Actually a note to say whats here now would have been more appropriate.

As Jerry says, the difference between an office and a shop is an important distinction.

There is little point going to an office outside of its opening hours, a shop however will have photos and details of properties displayed in the window which people looking to move browse. Estate agents even put these in lit frames to make this possible. The same for travel agents, late deals are displayed in the window and are looked at by potential customers when the shop is closed.

Phil

Why?
This edit looses important information such as those estate agents that deal work hidden away in offices to those who have a Shop Window where properties can be browsed when they are closed.

Cheers Phil

Thank you

Other than on motorway foot restrictions in the UK are very rare,

Foot=no means illegal, not just its not a good idea.

Can you provide any actual evidence for these being actual restrictions? For example based on this edit I would expect a sign here https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=134056902047426

I have certainly not seen any such signs on the A40 or A449. Restrictions on primary roads are even less likely.

Cheers Phil

Thank you Mike, although now I am more confused as the road/bridge shown in your photo is not mapped?

The sign says "unsuitable for motor vehicles" which in osm should be motor vehicles=discouraged.

https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1045307

Obviously only passable at low tide and it is up to drivers to assess their vehicle and conditions and not blindly follow their satnav.

What legal restrictions are there of trucks not being allowed to use this road?

The only visible signage is that motor vehicles can use it only for access which has been incorrectly mapped as motorcar and motor_cycle.

Truck is not a valid tag in osm however I have corrected the tagging to motor_vehicle=destination.
