[Talk-GB] cycle friendly pubs

2024-09-15 Thread Jon Pennycook
Hello. Near me, a new mapper has created a cafe (both a node and a non-existent building) next to a pub. I think this is because the pub is friendly to cyclists (has a "cyclist pit stop" sign and sells food and drink popular with cyclists). There are other nearby pubs that have signs welcomin

Re: [Talk-GB] What is needed for something to be classified as a 'cycle route' (London)

2020-12-15 Thread Jon Pennycook
Outside London, these days I tend to use direction signs or named route signs (eg named after planets/satellites/dwarf planets in Woking, or colours in Bracknell, or the "Cycling Discoveries" signs in north Hampshire) as an indication of an LCN/RCN. In the past, I had looser criteria, and I sometim

Re: [Talk-GB] Removing all stiles from bridleways

2020-12-14 Thread Jon Pennycook
I have seen at least one bridleway with a stile (not a horse stile). Bridleways that were recently upgraded from public footpaths may still have old barriers. Just because there is a right of way, it doesn't mean that it's fully accessible (e.g a BOAT near Alton that has steps at one end). Jon On

[Talk-GB] Turn Restrictions at roundabouts

Returning to this subject, but not necessarily at roundabouts - turn restrictions are still being added even where they don't exist (apparently) - e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/93759133 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/93750062 _

Hello. https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2821036 and https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2821037 (claiming to be National Cycle Network Route 231 and 235) have been listed on OpenStreetMap for some time. They appear to mostly duplicate Regional Cycle Network route 67 ( https://www.openstre

Traveline, a public transport website, use OSM for both presenting a map and for routing, eg http://www.travelinesw.com/ They get confused by bus-only roads - access=no/motor_vehicle=no combined with bus=yes/designated on a road leads to very strange routing (or did the last time I tried to plan a

[Talk-GB] National Cycle Network removal/reclassification

Clearly, the review of the National Cycle Network isn't too stringent. NCN223 between Woking and Chertsey is still listed on https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ncn, despite the shared use path being about 2-3 feet wide in many places with blind road crossings, especially along Guildford Road/Chert
