I have updated osm.org/way/30408422 to reflect legal access, changed motor_vehicle to discouraged and added weight and smoothness tags.

Hi Bernard, it is still a work in progress.

I am planning to do more and either use and tag of remove them.

Hi, welcome to OSM.

Thank you for your edits however please use meaningful changeset comments that explain to other mappers what you are changing and why.

> I believe it just has a really worn surface that gives rise to those signs.
That is correct, and had me puzzled when you mentioned bin lorries. The poor surface only really affects small wheeled vehicles, in a car you have to take it carefully.

There is a farm on that road and bin lorries do go that way without a problem. I happened to see someone in the pub who has driven them that way and he said 'no problem, there is plenty of space and referred to the fact they have to collect rubbish from the farm.

Also in this changeset, osm.org/way/419745389/history should not be tagged as hgv=no. Signage prior to the turn https://www.mapillary.com/app/?pKey=547111949711585 indicates that the bridge has a maxweight of 10 tons, which will exclude most hgvs but not all. This should be tagged as maxweight=10.
Geograph is also a useful source of usable images in the GB.
For example https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/551936

Hi
Again I am wondering what the source of these edits is.

I am puzzled what you were trying to achieve by setting osm.org/way/30408422 to motor_vehicle=no?
Whilst there are blue 'unsuitable for motor vehicles' signs they are legally allowed to use it and need to for access to fields and premises.

Thank you for your comments however we can't use Google Street View or other Google products as a source in OSM because Google's licence doesn't allow it to be used here.

I am going to have to revert these edits.

Which other edits have you used Google Streetview for as these will need to be reverted also.

Please continue mapping but only use allowed sources, we can for example use mapillary for street level images.

Out of curiosity, as your edits suggest you are in Kent, did you visit Shropshire or what was the driver to make these edits?

I think the name slipped a bit, have fixed it.

Grade 5 seems rather unlikely, imagery suggests grade 3.

What street level imagery was available here?

Hi, welcome to OSM.

I am a little concerned as to why you have changed ways 144589140 and 142495281 to prevent vehicles when they lead to houses and a farm. How do the residents get there, how does amazon deliver? Access=private was
correct.

Hi
Some of this edit seem very strange.

You have changed several nodes which were correctly tagged as railway=shuttle_train into level crossings. Eurotunnel would be a very odd place to find a level crossing.

Just wondering why you thought the original tag was incorrect?

Cheers Phil

It is a smallish area, just happens to cross 180 degrees within a single country

Hi
A turn restriction here isn't quite correct as at this point Garstang Road is divided. It would be preferable to split Garstang Road at this point and allow the resulting oneway to take care of routing.

Cheers Phil

Thank you, you are correct. I will update those tags.

Hi
Welcome to OSM.

Thank you for your edits, they are very useful. You can put the route code into a prow_ref tag and add designation=public_footpath.

One small problem, you do need to provide connectivity to the road, otherwise routers will see it as a dead end and not route over it.

Here to help if you have any questions on OSM and rights of way.

Hi John
When using iD to make changes to an object it is best to keep within the tags dropdown which allows you to update only those tags which have changed.

At top level iD is rather clunky.

I have restored the building, please could you check I have done it correctly?

Cheers Phil

Hi, why would a way drawn through a car park that is already tagged as access=customers be private?

Hi, welcome to OSM and thank you for your edits.

NPE is a very strange choice of imagery to be using in 2021, it is only one inch to a mile and better out of copyright sources are available such as the 1:25k OS maps which include the field boundaries which are vital for mapping rights of way.

In OSM we try to map the walked line, rather than the definitive line which tends for require a survey. The walked line is often different to the legal line.

If using a 50+ year old map are you sure the path exists on the ground and has it been diverted or extinguished?

If you have any questions please ask, either here or on the talk-gb mailing list.

Hi
There is a facebook tag for facebook pages, they should not be tagged as a website.
This pub also has a proper website however which should be tagged using the website tag and is obviously preferred over facebook.

Strangely enough I drove this road this morning, and the signs were definitely green indicating in UK terms it is part of the primary road network. Not a motorway, but certainly the best and most important road in the area.
The tagging we use in the UK does a very good job of classifying the network and certainly gives the expected results. I am not sure what the end result of such changes would be, but this could have caused OSMand to send me north and over the A66 which would have been longer than necessary.

I am reverting this changeset.
