[Talk-GB] Getting Highway Agency information into OSM

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi John,

The negativity, or least lack of enthusiasm, is partly due to the
complexity of the issue. We'd love to have Highways Agency data as open
data but if the data is based upon Ordnance Survey data this becomes a
quite tricky. Normally you would have the data holder apply for a Exemption
under the Public Sector Mapping Agreement (PSMA). Even then there's not
much consensus in the GB community as to whether we can actually use the
data.

As suggested, a better idea would be to have the Highways Agency provide us
a list of upcoming projects and dates that they are expected to complete.
If they have any GPS data we would be able to use that too :-)
