Hi, In regards to the traffic calming edit there has only been one comment related to the merits of the actual change - that was me and I approved the edit (Chris I don't think you commented on the edit itself, instead focusing on the matter of mechanical edits?).
Does this mean we can now look for someone to un-revert this changeset?
