Can we please have blue motorways and green A-roads? :-) Or do people
not like green A-roads because so many other things are green?

If I remember correctly, it's currently accessed via
I had cause to go to Leicester A on Saturday. It was renewed in April
(Google Earth suggests there was a big building project), and the map
has not been updated, and so it's not clear on OSM where the drop-off
is, or which is the associated multi-storey. The road I think it is, is

Just so we know, what is your view of the correct way for OSM search

I hope this isn't a silly question, but: it seems like all the projects
to free the UK postcode database (like npemap and freethepostcode)
closed down five or more years ago when the OS release CodePoint Open.
However, this data set is not suitable for use in OSM, according to:
http://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2016-03-22a.520.1
And there seems to be some more open data on the way from the OS. Do we
know for certain whether or not it will be OSM-able?

Well, if it did, wouldn't it be able to find every postcode in Britain?
