Changeset: 119965203
Corrected road type, the A420 through Oxford here should be mapped as a Primary Road, not a Tertiary Road.

Hi! I was just looking back at this but I am confused as to why the A420 was mapped as a Tertiary Road and not a Primary Road, but one of it's tags referred to it as a Primary Road? I was just looking into this so if anyone could shed some light on this I'd be grateful. Thank you!

Hi! The note is saying: this road is officially designated as primary, but it is de facto a tertiary road; therefore, we decided to map the reality on the ground (tertiary), and not that on paper (primary), consistently with OSM principles.
I personally agree with the note – mapping St Aldate's and the High Street as a primary road is misleading. From the note, it sounds like there was some deliberation on that, so I think it is best to revert your change, and you can re-open a discussion if you feel strongly about it. -

Hi, I need help with reverting the change set! I am unsure of how to revert a changeset but I could do it manually, but it'd be greatly appreciate if you or someone else can help with reverting the changes as I am not really familiar with reverts as it seems to use scripts I'm not really aware of. Also, you're welcome, and I really should be the one thanking you!

Sure. I reverted the changeset (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120013272), which should be cleaner that a manual correction (there was also a minor error in a footpath).
Enjoy mapping. All the best.
