Seem Graham beat me to publishing a map of the ATMs: http://www.itoworld.com/map/230 But yours looks nicer, and doesn't have odd references to breweries mixed in with ATMs! When I looked at doing this I struggled with banks - how do we know if they have ATMs or not? Some have them tagged

Hi is there an out of copyright source for the two different types of byway: restricted_byway byway_open_to_all_traffic? If not, as many are signed on the ground as just 'byway', I'm not sure highway=byway should be deprecated. How are users distinguishing what type they are? Cheers Dave

In the case of motor vehicles only being prohibited for half of the year, is there any consensus on the correct way to tag it? Yes, that reminds me I need to update some byways around Avebury... [e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/25793851] I think the idea is to use the
