Hi, welcome to OSM.
Please can you explain which routers were having problems and what those problems were.
All 3 on OSM are currently working and it is unlikely that they have updated in under 20 minutes.

Cheers Phil

In OSM we follow the on the ground rule, this road is signed as the A167(M) so that is what should be what we map.

Sabre is again not a valid source for OSM.

Cheers Phil

Hi again
Not sure why you have change the B877 back to a ref tag, it was previously in the old_ref tag with a pretty good explanation of why in the note tag.

Again sabre is not a valid source for use in OSM.

I have reverted this edit.

Cheers Phil

Hi, welcome to OSM.

We do not tag refs for tertiary and unclassified roads as these are only used internally by local authorities and they are not signed.

Telling a normal user of OSM to follow the C2073 is only going to confuse as there are no signs.

Sabre's wiki is also not a valid source for OSM, we do not know what source they have use to obtain this information.

Where we do map such references we use the tag highway_authority_ref osm.wiki/Key:highway%20authority%20ref?uselang=en

Cheers Phil

Hi, what sources were you using for this edit?

A number of thing have gone very wrong with this changeset however.
1. Th smallest amount of research would have shown that in the UK maxspeed should be tagged with the mph suffix.
2. Maxspeed:goods has only been used here in the UK, there is a tag maxspeed:hgv which could be used.
3. You have added a maxspeed of 50, which is incorrect. The maxspeed here is 60 mph. You should break other use cases to suit your use case.
4. Where did 50 come from? Did you intend kph or mph but what source did you use here.
5. Had you used the maxspeed:hgv tag then that should have been 40 mph.
6. Smoothness = intermediate seems very wrong, however what was the source?

Cheers Phil

Thank you

Hi Les
Openstreetmap is an open data project. We can only use sources that are not subject to copyright and that we have permission to use.
The gold standard in mapping is seeing it with your own eyes.

We cannot use either Google Street View or current OS maps for this reason.

OS gets a little more complex as there is OS Open Data available, but that does not show rights of way data and we can use historic out of copyright OS maps although obviously things may have changed in the 25+ years.

In the absence of valid sources I believe that this changeset should be reverted.

Hope this explains things, don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.

Cheers Phil

Where is Wern?

Thank you

osm.org/way/137155338 probably needs a survey.

Whilst name:cy and name:en match, name is totally different. Obviously there is a typo in the English name, should be Welsh.

But the question is really are the royal Welsh fusiliers comrades the operator and perhaps name:en should be The Red Dragon Club and name:cy and name be Clwb y Ddraig Goch.

Cheers Phil

Please split your edits so that you do not create huge bounding boxes.

The edits you make in Sheffield should be in a separate changeset to those made in Cornwall.

Hi, this edit has gone a little wrong.

I assume it is an automated armchair edit as you didn't look at the edit history or notes?
If you had you would have seen that osm.org/node/11979023547 has been added in error as osm.org/way/204828073/history and osm.org/note/4229717would have told you.

FHRS is a useful source of postcode data for businesses already in OSM but it should not be seen as a source from which to add new objects to OSM.

Cheers Phil

Thank you
