Hello gents (and ladies?),<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I am new to OSM and mapping but have an interest in rights of way - particularly unsurfaced roads.</div><div>These are generally referred to as byways, ORPAs, UCRs .</div>
<div>I see that the OSM data has some of these, but possibly only 10% to 20% coverage.</div><div><br></div><div>There are a few things I'd like to do to improve this.</div><div>(1) Surveys - I am doing what I can but it's a slow process.</div>
<div>(2) Update designation='public_byway' to designation='byway_open_to_all_traffic' or designation='restricted_byway' as appropriate</div><div>Perhaps a FIXME tag on designation='public_byway' would be useful - any advice on this welcome.</div>
<div>(3) Use council definitive statements to update the data semi-automatically as I understand the licensing may be ok.</div><div>(4) Create more knowledge/clarity on tagging UCRs/ORPAs/unsurfaced roads.</div><div>I am trying to understand the optimum tagging from the OSM KB here, and update/collate this.<br>
<br>Any help/advice would be very welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>Also - a meetup/mapping party/social would be good.. I'm based in Haslemere, Surrey (bordering Surrey/Sussex/Hampshire).</div><div><br></div><div><br>

<br>
</div>OK, shall I do a doodle poll?<br>
<br>
How does somewhere in Southampton sound? Could be Portsmouth or Winchester if people would prefer that.<br>
