[Talk-GB] Fire Roads (Leeds, Nottingham, etc)

Hi everyone, Fire roads are an uncommon sight in the UK. They're sometimes signed as "fire lanes," but they're nothing to do with the designation in the US (and elsewhere) which is a parking restriction: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:parking:lane and we're also not talking about the

[Talk-GB] Local Authority rights of way information

Hi everyone, As you probably know, local authorities must keep available an up-to-date copy of rights of way for inspection. Can this information then be incorporated into OSM, having been witnessed, or is it a case of public but copyrighted? I'm currently nursing a complaint about a rural right

Re: [Talk-GB] HS2 phase 2a preferred route

I would say don't plot it if the route's not at all certain. You might even meet mapping vandalism if you laid down routes in Sheffield: it's an extremely touchy subject there. We don't know if it's going to take a city centre route or spur from the Don Valley route yet so unless things change the

Re: [Talk-GB] Relation: Street

I understood the general rule of thumb was to map to the data and not to the renderer (which is an unknown quantity). If you're concerned about, say, OSM Standard layer, then I'm sure some kind of look-ahead could be employed when preparing a street for rendering: "If a way shares a start or end

Re: [Talk-GB] UK Postcodes

In the light of recent talk about postcode coverage, I've started mapping with postal_code the highways that front groups of buildings known to have the same postcode. However, that's in turn led me to notice that OSM still uses NPEMap as a reference for postcode searches. Given that NPEMap

Re: [Talk-GB] Summer quarterly project

+1 for the town centre blitzing. Even well-mapped city centres change all the time (shops opening and closing for one) and there are plenty of examples of places you'd think would have more detail than they actually do (eg Leeds is still pretty poorly mapped for POI and businesses, despite my best
