[Talk-GB] Using statutory 'list of streets' for mapping

[Edward Bainton]

Hi all

On a note <https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/1312848> near me a
contributor has queried whether a road has been downgraded from B662 to
unclassified.

It passes through Cambs and North Northants.

Cambs's statutory list of streets strongly suggests it has indeed been
downgraded.

Northants doesn't maintain a 'list', but instead puts theirs in a GIS
combined with OS data. (marked copyright Crown & OS)

Can we legitimately use either of these sources to determine the status of
the road? (both linked from the note) My hunch is first, yes; second, no;
but thought best to check.

Also what do we do if the signs and the statutory lists are at variance, as
it seems they may be?

Thanks,

Edward
