I have an OpenSource query. Is there a way to edit the street to show private roads? The CityStrides site that I use to log the streets I have run down (81% of Leicester so far) uses Open Source maps and Mapbox https://citystrides.com/. Each street has nodes allocated. When you run down a street you have to pass through all the nodes. The problem is that some nodes are in gated developments or private driveways and I don't want to trespass. Hopefully this shows an example https://www.google.com/maps/@52.6221096,-1.1496996,3a,75y,200.3h,78.61t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sayjR2eW0Cba3FqPo4Pg_6A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

um
Becca, yes, you can mark the road / stretch as private, permissive etc You can also add gates or barriers All of my changes seem to have been auto accepted, but there is (supposedly) a validation/approval process. There is an audit trail to show who has changed what. |

Something me and friend have just discovered and are wondering why. On OS maps why are some A roads coloured red on 1:25 and green on 1:50 maps? Is it because they have no side verge or fences? |

Red roads are "main" roads, green roads are "Primary Routes", their definition of a primary route is "Primary routes form a network of recommended through routes which complement the motorway system |

25k series doesn't differentiate between "main" and "primary", only shoes "main" as red
