This construction area is inaccesible for anything but large specialist vehicles with all-terrain tyres. The construction workers are all instructed to ask visitors to leave. There are locked gates, only unlocked for construction vehicles to get through. It is a Health and Safety issue, I suspect, and probably required by their insurance company. No doubt there are deliveries to the peripheral areas, but that is nearly always by specialist building supplies companies with suitable vehicles. I spoke informally in context, so it seems a bit picky to question this. The particular roads that they marked (residential, as I recall) were at that time bare ground tracks, fenced off and were being used for access to other parts by the construction vehicles. Those details could not be seen on the satelite imagery which happened to have very recent updates in this area. Later they will presumably be surfaced and become proper roads: the developers gave me a copy of their plans. As I recall, they are now tagged corrected as construction roads. As far as I am concerned, I don't think an access tag on construction roads makes sense in any normal situation. Construction implies that the access will vary over time. > Please provide a link. The link is my personal knowledge and my regular visits on bicycle with gps. I occasionally do enter such areas to get a gps trace in advance of the completion of the roads, but only with great care and caution, and always leave if and when asked to do so. Sometimes site-managers give me permission to collect a trace when I explain what I am doing. Are you telling me that Amazon have driven a large non-construction vehicle on these unfinished roads with locked gates and construction workers around in working hours? ael _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
