I note that ref:usrn was added to the Key:ref wiki in May 2017 and I can see no real reason to add GB into the key, especially if it is upper case. There are lots of examples of other country specific tags which do not include a country code on that page, in fact I can't see a single one that

Re: [Talk-GB] Farmfoods clean up

2020-05-28 Per discussione Mike Baggaley via Talk-GB
I think the tag should indicate the primary market and should be consistent. From the Farmfoods home page, "Farmfoods are the Frozen Food Specialists. Our roots are embedded in the distribution and handling of frozen food." That seems pretty definitive to me. Supermarkets often sell a few

In my view we need to be putting out a consistent UK wide message (preferably parish name, type and number) and not confusing potential mappers by having different formats in different counties. We have enough trouble already with path references variously being put in name, ref or local_ref

Re: [Talk-GB] TfL cycle data published - schema mapping

2019-09-22 Per discussione Mike Baggaley
I would prefer not to see cycleway:lane=mandatory as this suggests that cyclists have to use the lane when set. In the UK, the significance of the solid white line separating a cycle lane and main carriageway is that motor vehicles are not allowed to use the cycle lane, but cyclists can use

Hi Robert, Looks interesting. I've signed in and had a look. However, the first one I looked at is a petrol station, and the wiki indicates that shop=yes is the correct tagging as an additional tag for amenity=fuel. Hence I suggest that these be omitted from the list requiring replacement.

Re: [Talk-GB] Changing highway=ford to ford=yes.

2019-01-07 Per discussione Mike Baggaley
I think that if an intersecting highway and waterway are mapped just as lines, then these represent the full width of the highway and waterway and it is illogical to use a line or area to represent the ford. If either the highway or waterway is mapped as an area then I would expect the ford to
