Mmm, given the amount of bike edits they may be another wandrer.Earth user trying to game the system

… would be my best guess, Certainly a few strange changeset comments there.

 

Cheers - Phil

Seeing the large number of changes to the ATG being made in the last 2 days by Aaronsta <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Aaronsta> , I got some questions.

 

Who is Aaronsta? 

Is it anyone participating in this mailing list?

 

Have any of these changes been discussed somewhere?

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Tagging_Guidelines <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Tagging_Guidelines&type=revision&diff=2262794&oldid=2250661> &type=revision&diff=2262794&oldid=2250661 (ignore the street cabinet stuff at the bottom, that’s from someone else)

 

Cheers,

Thorsten

Editor's summary: Fix undiscussed changes 

 

Sorry but that's a bit ironic, or did I miss the discussion about these changes?

 

One I noticed is that you've taken it upon yourself to include:

"Cycling is not permitted on footpaths in NSW, QLD, or Vic." 

 

Would you like to share this with Qld Transport?

https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-devices/bicycle


Riding on a footpath or shared path


On footpaths and shared paths, you share the space with pedestrians.

You must:

*	keep left and give way to all pedestrians
*	always ride to the left of bicycle riders coming toward you.

Looks like we may need a major reversion done here?

 

Thanks

 

Graeme
