If you want to indicate that there is a pavement at he side of the road, there is the sidewalk=* tag for this.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap.

Thanks for updating this, although you may have misunderstood the access tagging.

The sign at the start of the bus lane on the A33 southbound after the junction with Bennet Road is TSRGD diagram 959B, with only a bus symbol and no time plate (i.e. it applies at all times). In OSM terms, this is tagged as vehicle=no + bus=designated
https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=51.425611&lng=-0.9801714999999831&z=19.126492453401493&pKey=1430615991434858&focus=photo

access=no is usually wrong for a highway unless it's a long term closure to all transport modes
bicycle=yes is incorrect here, as the bus lane only permits buses.
foot=no other than on motorways requires a traffic order and an explicit sign prohibiting pedestrians, which is not the case here
motor_vehicle=designated does not mean "for designated vehicles only" (this would usually be motor_vehicle=private ), but "legally designated as a right of way for *all* motor vehicles"
vehicle=bus doesn't mean anything (that's what bus=* is for), the original vehicle=no was correct

Please also see osm.wiki/Busmiles.uk

Also, the name=* tag should only be used for the actual name of a road, not a description (you can use description=* for that)

Thanks for spotting and fixing that. I wonder why the other mapper felt that inflicting highway=path anywhere which isn't also informal=yes could be remotely helpful.

Was there any particular reason to change correctly tagged highway=cycleway ways to highway=path ? (Already reverted in most cases by another user)

It looks like a similar idea in terms of access differences, but I'm not sure how well the US-centric rideshare=* maps to UK PHVs. It seems a strange and counterintuitive term anyway, as there's generally no sharing involved in hiring a PHV (and in the UK, whether they are a subset of psv=* is simple to answer: they are not).

I feel that this is a question for the community forums. I don't think using the undocumented phv=designated is a great solution to document that exception, but it may have to do for now. I've added a note=* to the ways where this applies.

PHV = Private Hire Vehicle, in this case explicitly signed as an exception to the prohibition of motor vehicles at the Horse Market end of Gold Street. It's similar to a taxi, but legally distinct with the most important difference being that it must be pre-booked and cannot use taxi ranks or be hailed on the street. It should probably documented in the wiki, but ATYL.

Thanks for your understanding. Updated in changeset/179170266

I see you've added quite a few separate sidewalks in this part of Northampton. Unfortunately, as they don't connect to crossings, they're not merely unhelpful to pedestrian navigation, but actually detrimental (as I found out using OSM-based routing last Saturday).

Those along the busy St James' Road would be useful for pedestrian, wheelchair and visually impaired navigation, so I have added the missing crossings and accessibility features.

However, Sharman Road, Spencer Street and Lincoln Road don't really have crossing points with any recognisable features like dropped kerbs or tactile paving. Unlike on nearby Bowden Road (where I added driveways), these are streets of terraced houses with no driveways which could be used by pedestrian routers. I could add footway=link ways and crossing=informal nodes to "fix" pedestrian routing here, but I feel that it would be better to remove the decorative sidewalks and tag the streets with sidewalk=both . Do you have any objection to me doing this?

Ideally, a correction adds information which isn't fictitious. Adding access=no and psv=yes when there's no signage to support that, just because you though it might work better with the #busmiles router is unhelpful.

Fixed in changeset/178871234

Damn, sorry - and thanks for fixing it!

There seemed to be some entangled multipolygons around there, but I should have been a bit more careful with which one I changed.

Welcome to OpenStreetMap and thank you for updating these and other shops. It's nice to see a BID getting involved.

Could I make one suggestion when a shop, restaurant, etc. has closed and the premises are vacant? Rather than simply deleting the tag which tells data consumers what sort of feature this is (in this case, shop=bathroom ), but instead add the disused: lifecycle prefix so that it would become disused:shop=bathroom . You could also optionally add a check_date=* tag

I should stress that your edit is not incorrect, but using lifecycle prefixes helps people using surveying apps like StreetComplete to check periodically whether a vacant shop has a new occupier.

Also, Mr Sachin Malde would do well to read the GMC guidance: https://www.gmc-uk.org/professional-standards/the-professional-standards/using-social-media-as-a-medical-professional/using-social-media-as-a-medical-professional

Mr Sotonye Tolofari would do well to read the GMC guidance: https://www.gmc-uk.org/professional-standards/the-professional-standards/using-social-media-as-a-medical-professional/using-social-media-as-a-medical-professional

This edit will have been made by a paid spammer on the doctor's behalf. I doubt that the doctor knew that they were paying for the digital equivalent of flyposting over safety-critical signage.

It seems somewhat reckless to advertise in this way without reference to the General Medical Council's guidance on using social media as a medical professional ( https://www.gmc-uk.org/professional-standards/the-professional-standards/using-social-media-as-a-medical-professional/using-social-media-as-a-medical-professional )

@pitscheplatsch I've seen four edits like this, two of which overwrote the tags of place=* nodes. I'm inclined to suspect it's some sort of marketer providing a very low-quality advertising/SEO/spam service to private consultants for a fee (for which they should demand a refund). I've let DWG know in case there's more of this.

(Review requested)

Please don't overwrite the tags of existing objects, as destroying information to promote your practice is extremely unhelpful.

I've restored the building's original tags and moved your details to a new POI in changeset/178458722

Thanks for deleting the descriptive name=* tag and adding a note.

For vacant business premises, you can use a lifecycle prefix, which in this case would mean adding something like disused:shop=yes or disused:amenity=restaurant together with check_date=*

These should be picked up by apps like StreetComplete and will prompt users to check whether it is still vacant.

Overwriting the place=town node for Bushey was more than a little unhelpful to data consumers.

I've moved the clinic node to Spire Bushey Hospital, changed the speciality to the value documented in the wiki and updated tags on the hospital.

This is the second edit like this we have seen, suggesting that a markerter may be doing this as an undiscussed automated/organised edit with the following characteristics:
* overwriting the place=town node where the clinic is located (potentially s. 3 CMA 1990)
* failing to include the name of the hospital in addr:housename=*
* adding healthcare=hospital + emergency=yes rather than healthcare=clinic, which are properties of the hospital (and it's extremely irresponsible to add emergency=yes at a private hospital which doesn't have an A&E department)
* using a form of healthcare:speciality=* which isn't in the wiki
