Every day is a school day. You're right, those are Postal Districts, not
towns. I was sure they used to recommend writing
If you search for an address on the RM website, I find that (at least in
London) it does not suggest the post town is used at all, just "London", not
"Stratford" or "West Kensington" or whatever. (I mean here-

Isn't addr:interpolation only for ranges of housenumbers on an interpolation
way?
In this case the question seems to be about a residential building containing
only even numbered units?
If you just say addr:housenumber=2-20, it could mean that 19 is included. If

As a break from 'tagging for the renderer', I'd like to see rendering for the
tags. It would save a lot of heartarche if the map on osm.org showed
shared-use paths explicitly. Perhaps as follows:-
* highway=cycleway with nothing to say that foot is allowed - blue dashes as

Hi Mark,
If there is absolute confidence in that, can it be added to the wiki page here:

And can it be added to the default set of old maps in JOSM?
If it is available for use, not point in keeping it a secret.

I've made extensive use of these tiles for numbering tasks in London E15 and
E7. But you are right that more up to date material is needed. Bing gives me
the more modern building outlines, and I then do some spot checks of the
NLS-sourced housenumbers when I survey the newer buildings.
But
These changes should be reverted in my view.
But I would note that the default map on osm.org does a poor job of
communicating the difference between shared paths (like those in QEOP and
elsewhere) and dedicated cycle lanes. Both look like blue dashed lines. They
look indistinguishable. So
Not all of these data are top notch. A couple of examples I've come across -

that cyclists stick to the cycle-dedicated way.

I believe most of the canal towpaths are 'pedestrian priority' too - at least
there are signs to that effect all over the place. Well worth tagging them to
that effect if true.

I'm partial to tagging the shop/cafe as an area within the building. In a
highstreet scenario, you might have a 3 storey terrace containing mostly flats,
with cafes and Argos's on the ground floor. Very well, tag buildings as
buildings, and tag the amenities as areas (likely most of the

Hi Patrick,
For the collection_days tag, it might be possible to use the same tagging
syntax as the collection_times for post-boxes and recycling bins. It's on the
wiki here-
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:collection_times
You can add days or days with times.

Is it worth adding opening_hours to these post boxes (as well as collection
times.) ? If the postbox is in a supermarket, it'll only be accessible when the
supermarket is open, but it *will* be accessible then.
