I wasn't expecting to but I got time for a *quick* walk through Hall Ings. It's still a bit of a building site and my phone died after a few photos so it's going to need a proper survey but I should get a chance to tidy things up a bit by lunchtime.
I'm not sure what to do about the classification of Leeds Road at the east end of Hall Ings so plan to leave it primary for now, but that doesn't seem right when it leads to a junction of some minor roads. I'm planning to mark roads signed for bus, taxi, motorcycle and bicycle, and authorised vehicles only as motor_vehicle=private psv=yes motorcycle=yes I plan to change Vicar Lane and Well Street from service to unclassified even though most cars can't drive down them, using above access tags for that. I'm going to leave the bus routes alone even though they are definitely wrong as I don't know what's right. I'm going to leave the pedestrian way alongside Hall Ings labelled as Leeds Road even though that's clearly wrong as a reminder to check if it should be a footway or cycleway. Let me know if I should do anything different for now. As I say, a fuller mapping will be needed. While we're here, what are opinions on use of highway=busway for things like bus gates. My reading of the wiki is they are something quite specific and different but I'm not sure how they're being used elsewhere.
