Hi
Here in Southend I have a number of boulevards - dual carriageways with large
central grassed/tree areas. In some cases there are quite clearly defined
crossing points, and often there will be fences down the middle of the road
(especially outside schools) to prevent people using anything
By chance I mapped a couple of crossings at the junction of Southchurch
Boulevard Thorpe Hall Avenue (http://osm.org/go/0EGQ1kp6R--). The first
is not marked on the roadways, but is an asphalt path across the central
reservation. The second has zebra crossings on both carriageways and a
footway
Hi Richard,
I am working my way around the canals of Britain, tracing the canal banks
and tidying up locks etc.
Your work is really welcome and as someone with a particular interest in the
British canals I'm glad to see it taking place.
In terms of playing nice with the OSM community, rather
Some very good tips there RichardF.
Don't be fooled by the siren voices of the wiki. What's in the database
is valid because it's formed by consensus.
To come to the defence of the wiki (yes, there's a lot wrong with it, but
there are also some good people putting in a lot of effort), it's
We have discussed this subject a couple of times and have, I think,
concluded that displaying the ref (generally only known to local
government people) on roads that are unsigned is not helpful to the end
user.
Some, but I suspect not all, of the thread starts are below.

It's worth comparing that with the (international) vCard standard:

Hi,
I think we could do with a wiki page dedicated to tagging UK addresses
and covering how to tag the more complicated cases. The problem at the
moment is that there has been little discussion and no consensus about
certain situations such as tagging parent/subsidiary streets.

I actually have used addr:flat here before (and addr:unit for slightly
related things in like parades).
Two things:
- I was emphatically told by people who know that the BS enables
describing much more than mere postal addresses. In other words PAON, SAON
etc., are not merely for building number flat number.
- Some of the issues you raise were discussed at last Friday's Open

This is a widespread problem and I wouldn't oppose a mechanical edit in
this case. The one concern I have is the rare cases where C road
references really do appear on signs, but perhaps even then official_ref
is appropriate.
Similarly, some rights of way references appear on signs: I recall
Ignoring the source information for now, but I suspect it is very
similar to rights of way information in that it is probably derived from
OS maps.
The following overpass query highlights the issue, Norfolk standing out
as especially bad. This is just tertiary roads, there are issues with
