Hi Marta and Adrian<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your feedback. I've alerted the West Midlands osm mappers by forwarding your email to our talk mailing list. Perhaps we'll get some discussion on your comments, and the mapper(s) responsible might correct the ways. It's not an area of the city I'm familiar with I'm afraid. Personally I don't map these ways unless they're a recognised footpath which connects two other ways or a paved service road. Generally speaking we map what we see on the ground, although there is a possibility that some of the ways were mapped from bing aerial imagery or Ordnance Survey out -of-copyright maps or OS StreetView without a ground survey. You are,of course, at liberty to edit the ways to your requirements.</div>
