Proposal:Winter Maintenance

Gritting & Grit Bins

You can see the current state of gritting routes added in the West Midlands on the mappa-mercia gritting map

Priority_3 is a good indicator that a road is tertiary so it's worth having a look at your area. Not all councils use the same priority basis.

• Birmingham - All the 1364 roads on Birmingham City Council's gritting schedule have been added. Birmingham CC has added a link to our map from their website
• Solihull - Solihull's gritting routes (all priority one) and now on the map.
• Walsall - Walsall was completed during 2010
• Wolverhampton - Wolverhampton was completed during 2010
• Sandwell - We have the data (Oct 2011) from Sandwell and have begun the process of data entry

Tagging

Roads

• maintenance=gritting
• gritting=priority
  • gritting=priority_1
  • gritting=priority_2
• gritting_route_ref=$REF
• gritting_operator=$Organisation

In some cases near admin boundaries a road may be gritted by more than on operator. In these cases tag both gritting_route_ref and gritting_operator with both values separated by a ";". Please ensure that the ordering across both tags is consistent. Examples:

1. gritting_operator=Solihull MBC;Coventry_City_Council with gritting_route_ref=Solihull 1;B
2. gritting_operator=Solihull MBC;Solihull MBC with gritting_route_ref=Solihull 1;Solihull 2
