OpenStreetMap
In New Lynn the street Astley Avenue now ends in a dead end , this was done when the traffic lights replaced the roundabout at Totara Ave, Wolverton Street and Portage Road.
I have tried to use the editor, but am not sure of how to do this and do not want to damage the map data. Can anyone let me know the process to make a road a dead end rather than a connecting road.
The same applies to a road in Newmarket that has been blocked to stop through traffic as it is parallel to a major route.
Thanks for any advise on how to do this

You talk about this place?
osm.org/?mlat=-36.91065&mlon=174.68912&zoom=17&layers=M
Is there just a barrier?
Is it still open for pedestrians and bicycles?
Did you try potlatch 1 or 2?
Maybe like this:
1. click on Astley Avenue (select it)
2. shift click on the way, where you want it to end. There should be a new node.
3. click on the new node
4. click on the scissors (split way)
5. the lower part is selected. click on the upper part.
6. change highway from tertiary to cycleway.

.. or change it to a pathway 'pedestrian street'.
I prefer potlatch 2.
When the new editor came out, I practiced on old logging roads, and tracks that didn't affect people's routing.

Thanks weiland and alexz
One more question if I may in the use of Potlatch. There is a street in Grafton that has a small traffic slowing curve and a one way restriction (you can travel from Carlton Gore Road to Khyber Pass Road but not in the other direction) at that point (the rest of each side of that restricted area is two way). I have no idea how to use Potlatch to show this. Can I ask for your help again
Thanks

It helps a lot, if you send a permanentlink like this:
osm.org/?lat=-36.86577&lon=174.77327&zoom=17&layers=M
Is it there?
Which road?
Maybe splitting two times (in three pieces) and the middle part gets oneway=yes?
