When mapping barrier=bollard it is not infrequent for there to be several bollards across any particular highway=*. At present I have added bollard:count=# on a single node for a few of these, but this is more of a note for future better tagging.
My questions are:
- Has anyone got a widely used method tagging counts of bollards? (
- Is there any generic tagging technique for adding a count for a given tagged feature?
Notes: (This of course applies both when mapping each individual feature is not useful (as with barrier=bollard), and when a count is used in lieu of more detailed mapping). A number of features often have a count, the one I'm most familiar with is highway=steps, steps=#, but there are no doubt others. I think it would be very useful to have a simple consistent way of adding counts, and I would be surprised if others have not thought so too.

I like the :count namespace because it can be used for every other tag, too, and also multiple times on the same element. Seems also easy enough for interpreters to parse it.
