I am mapping and looking for a code for a Sound barrier alongside a road, I already made a code, (barrier - soundbarrier) but it might be premature. Please tell me ! As I write it, there should be one already for use on airfields as a blast barrier ! asked 23 May '12, 00:08 Hendrikklaas Tordanik |
Combining the two tags barrier=wall and wall=noise_barrier is now (2018) by far the most common approach. The tags are documented in the OSM wiki on the Tag:barrier=wall page and others. Some historical context: A possible alternative at the time of the question was answered 24 May '12, 01:55 Tordanik aseerel4c26 ♦ 4
just for the record, the numbers three years later (by taginfo): 124 vs. 1545. And in the meantime we have a Polish documentation of this tag.

I think just barrier=wall would work (and is used). You could add tags for other attributes if you wanted like height. It looks like some people have added wall=foo, in some cases describing the material the wall is made of (eg stone) or its purpose (eg noise barrier). (see taginfo) It could be argued that what a wall is made of should be tagged with something like material= instead of wall= answered 23 May '12, 14:59 neuhausr Is it possible to add some extra's to the Polish page, and how ? I would prefer for instance to talk about adding things as type, material and operator.
