Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Sandwell Gritting routes
Hi Christoph Thanks for this - We have Coventry data but can't get much enthusiasm from the Coventry mappers to complete this. We're still to get Dudley - who wants to approach them? Sandwell routes seem to appear at a different zoom level to the rest? Do we just have to wait for the rendering engine to catch up? Andy Mabbett - I think we just assume that everyone realises that the motorways get gritted - if you start adding them where do you finish? the UK motorway network is huge! Other major routes also gritted by the HA? Do you want to volunteer? ;-). Andy R - I think your approach to Sandwell is the the best- sit down around the map and correct it. Who's informing our contact at Sandwell about progress? Regards Brian 2011/11/13 Christoph Böhme christ...@b3e.net Hi all I've updated the gritting map [1]. The data was retrieved from the overpass api and is hopefully up to date. The map now covers the area between 2.275 and 1.378 west and 52.314 and 52.679 north. Let me know if there are areas which should have gritting routes but don't appear on the map. I wasn't following the progress closely enough to remember which councils made their data available already and what has been added to the map yet.

Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Sandwell Gritting Routes
Hi Gareth Many thanks for your offer of help, but ED is correct - we've already utilised the text route directions published by Walsall Council to complete our gritting map. What would be of great benefit would be for someone to check the inconsistencies we found (see below) and feedback to us. Also it would be great if you could keep us up to date of any changes ot gritting routes. Regards Brian Walsall Gritting Walsall's gritting routes are in the PDF at http://www.walsall.gov.uk/index/winter_service.htm There are 16 routes (p14 onwards); 8 priority 1and 8 priority 2, all centred on Cable Drive depot, at http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.59793lon=-1.99386zoom=16layers=M If you are able willing to tag one of these routes with: - maintenance=gritting - gritting=priority_1 (routes 1-8) - gritting=priority_2 (routes 9-16) - gritting_route_ref=1 (numbers 1-8) - gritting_operator=Walsall MBC (The latter mainly to differentiate from neighbouring authorities) 1. - Andy Mabbett - Done. 2. - Andy Mabbett - (problem: p17, After first stop gritting, no start gritting before next stop; I've assumed gritting starts again on Littleton Street East, otherwise, why is the lane specified?). Owen Road Birmingham Street sections also confusing. References to Anson Road Junction/ Anson Junction make no sense. Ends with two stop gritting sections. - Stopped at first Anson reference. 3. - Andy Mabbett - After Broadway, where is TR from West Bromwich Road to West Bromwich Street? - Otherwise, done. 4. - Andy Mabbett - Done. 5. - Andy Mabbett - Why the apparent detour, up and down Spring Road, without gritting? Lichfield Street Left Slip Road added to map. - Done. 6. - Andy Mabbett - lines 3-5 (Foley Rd) not clear - Otherwise, done. 7. - Andy Mabbett - Norton Road does not run to boundary, so assume this includes part of Lime Lane?; No Wyrley Road, so assume Wyrley Lane; Can't find Castle Road off Howdles Lane. - Done. 8. - Brian - `Problems follow: Bradford St TL to Corporation St TR Pleck Road - couldn't make any sense of these directions. Entrance to and exit from Park Road Bloxwich is ambiguous; is my choice the correct one? High St Bloxwich TL and start gritting Green Lane: is the slip road the route and does it get gritted? Also TL from High St is into Somerfield Road which only becomes Green Lane after the roundabout according to our data. - DONE 9. - Brian Problems follow Essington Rd TR Dorchester Rd should be TL. DONE 10. - Brian Problems follow Is Diversion due to Bridge Closure on Bentley Road South still in operation? DONE 11. - Brian Problems follow Wolverhampton St TR Pinfold St Stop Gritting should be TL. DONE 12. - Brian DONE 13. - Brian Problems follow: Chester Rd TR Lazy Hill Road should read TL.At end of route Chester Rd TR Castlehill Rd should read TL DONE 14. - Brian Turn direction Daw End Lane to King George Crescent missing. Turn direction King George Crescent to Floyds Lane missing - have I chosen the correct direction? Broadway North TL Princes Avenue not sure I've used the correct route here. DONE 15. - Brian DONE - there were problems but I lost all my wiki edits - they're only minor and the gritting route is complete 16. - Brian Problems follow: Harden Rd TR start gritting Coalpool Lane - Coalpool Lane is TL from Harden Rd. The Pinfold TL Goodhall St is Woodall St according to our data and OS StreetView. Ingram Road TR Start gritting Field Road SO The Pinfold - to do this you need Ingram Road TL. Wolverhampton Road TL Clarendon St you need TR. New St TR Stop gritting Clarendon ST TL Elmore Green Rd to get to Elmore Green Rd you need New St TL Clarendon St. DONE On 23 October 2011 11:46, Gareth Illmann-Walker subscr...@illmann-walker.com wrote: Hi all, As I'm a councillor in Walsall and just happened to be on the Winter Planning Sub-Committee, I'm more than happy to ask for the routes (for Walsall) on your behalf, can't think of any reason they'd not give them me.
