Hi, Over the past couple of years Fishergate, the high street in Preston, and some surrounding streets have been redeveloped and these highways are now designated as 'shared space' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_space
Following redeveleopment these were mapped as "highway=living_street". Earlier this year fellow mapper 'lakedistrict' left a note saying that this seemed incorrect as this wasn't a residential scheme, I agreed and changed the roads to unclassified highways (+ 1 tertiary), adding traffic calming, surface and access tags as appropriate. These roads have recently been changed back to highway-=living_street by another mapper 'Pete Owens' https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/52072635 To move things forward I would like others' opinions about how we should map such shared space schemes Are we happy to broaden the definition of living_street to include them or are they better mapped as ordinary streets with additional tags? Another potential option which I toyed with was mapping them as highway=pedestrian, adding access tags (bicycles are permitted, motor vehicle access varies across the area from 24/7 thoroughfares, to time conditional/destination/psv only access). I'll draw lakedistrict and Pete Owens' attentions to this email so that they can contribute to the discussion. Kind regards, Adam (ACS1986)
