I contacted a couple of OSM users in Macclesfield, and received the
following (“the link” refers to the above, via the list archives):
“The one way road (church st) is fed by a pedestrianised street
network (and not footpaths as stated in the link). Those areas are
only accessible by vehicles at certain times of the day. So for
routing purposes, it is effectively inaccessible ! (unless the
routing software can handle time restrictions).”
I hope that clears it up, even if it doesn’t help with routing it.
