Hi Rob,
Great to see the action on UK RoW tagging in OSM and I'm sure it will end up clearer and better. 2 review comments from me (1) http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:United_Kingdom_Tagging_Guidelines_Consultation Achadwick's RoW table section Byway Open to All Traffic column motor_vehicle tag row * * *I believe this should be 'yes' instead of '~'.* from.. http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Presets/EnglandWalesRightsOfWay <!-- Rationale: the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, section 15(9)(c) states that a BOAT is "[...] a highway over which the public have a right of way [access=yes] for vehicular and all other kinds of traffic but which is used by the public mainly for the purpose for which footpaths and bridleways are used [access=designated]". Bicycles were probably using bridleways commonly by 1984, so they are designated. --> (2) A section for Unclassified Highways or Unclassified County Roads. Probably highway=track, designation=unclassified_highway and motor_vehicle, vehicle, horse, pedestrian tags as appropriate I'd also note that there is a lot of great information in this email from Robert Whittaker (which may be on a different thread but is relevant to this one). http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2012-April/013081.html Best, Peter On 21 April 2012 15:17, <rob.j.nicker...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks Richard, Andy, > > Couple of points to feedback: > > * Good point on the cycle paths along roads.
