[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Black Country Geopark

2020-07-11 Thread Andy Mabbett
Do we have plans to map the new "Black Country Geopark": http://blackcountrygeopark.org.uk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Country_Geopark or to tag the various components as belonging to it? Is this suitable for a "relation"? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing

If it's truly "open access land" then it's not permissive, it's merely foot=yes, surely? Dan Op za 11 jul. 2020 om 13:20 schreef Michael Collinson : > > Perhaps there should be a access/foot=open_access tag? > > Paths across open access areas aren't really "permissive". First, you > usually have

Perhaps there should be a access/foot=open_access tag? Paths across open access areas aren't really "permissive". First, you usually have some rights to wander off the path/make your own. Second, there is (always?) some sort of regulatory/public right involved, it isn't just dependent on the

That would be great, bearing in mind access rights differ (e.g. Scotland and England). A really interesting point regarding temporary land-use (forestry, farming etc.) restrictions - ideal if it was dynamic to ensure that it is always updated (otherwise users woiuld ignore). It would

It is just possible (sight unseen) that it is an Easter Egg. We could do the same. If we don't know whether it is permissible to tag it Fairfield Road in OSM, and there is no actual sign on it, we could call it Fairfields Road. Martin. ___

.. to follow that up, a good example where I have used foot=permissive en-masse is the New Forest. It's an unusual case in that there are no rights of way (except, to guarantee access I suspect, crossings over railways) but all paths are implicitly open to the public. However there is no

I would probably add to the definition of permissive, paths in the countryside, or on common-land or similar edge-of-town areas with public access, which are not rights of way but which nonetheless are in common use and do not have any 'Private' or 'Keep out' signs; it seems apparent in this
