Hi Dave

Don’t disagree - just wanted to see what the community thought.

Are you Traveline?

Yes, sorry - just took out my normal footer for some reason.

It needs to remain. As it's clearly signed as a shared use path it's has 
authoritative standing.

'Dangerous' is purely subjective. Many people do 'dangerous' things such as 
drive too fast, take drugs or jump out of aeroplanes. OSM is not the place to 
quantify. Adding a 'falling rocks' sign to OSM is fine. Telling someone they 
can't go there because of those rocks is wrong. Your user has decided, based on 
experience, that he doesn't want to use it, which is fine, but he shouldn't 
dictate that others can't.

What would benefit OSM is if the path was detailed more accurately.

Are you Traveline?

Greetings

At Stirling Corner, on the A1 in Barnet, there is a cycle way (hence also 
available for pedestrians) that goes around the outside of the roundabout 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/78315291). A cursory glance at satellite 
mapping shows it to be well defined, and marked. But it will also highlight 
that where you cross the southbound A1 to the south of the roundabout (and 
likewise the northbound A1 to the north) it is highly dangerous. You have to 
cross three lanes of traffic, and there is always a flow of some sort, either 
from the A1 or from the side roads.

What is the right course of action here - leave it in, because it reflects what 
is on the ground, or take it out on safety grounds. This isn’t an idle question 
- a user of my website has stated that it is dangerous to use, and has asked me 
to remove it. My conclusion was to leave it in, but as it cuts to what it is 
that is being produced here - an accurate cartographic representation of the 
world, regardless, or something a little different - I thought I would ask for 
views.

Regards,
Stuart
