I've stumbled over a rather unique (in my experience) situation. Not far from my work but off the company campus there is a fence gate, which is for employees of my company only (one needs a key to go through it). Here is the location: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3055889192. How should I tag it? No routing application has a mode "employee of xxx" in additional to car/foot/bicycle. Does it make sense to add such specific information at all? UPDATE: I've realised that the following information is important to clarify my motivation. The number of people who are allowed to pass this gate (company employees) is about 6 thousand. The population of the town where the company campus is located has 44 thousand people living in it. |

I would go for access=private Sure, but then it's unclear who can enter the gate. It's not on campus as I mentioned.

In our company we have 1 entrance that is only meant for a certain group of employees. Do you really want to tag all those details ? You can always add a description (free text), but for most routing apps, private should be sufficient. It won't route you through that "gate" if you belong to the general public and if you are an employee, you know you can enter the plant there. Same problem exists for parking places near factories. Some are for employees, some are for visitors.

Instead of thinking about employee=yes (transport mode like car/foot/bicycle) rather think about access=employee (allowed traffic). The correct tag is access=private then. This is widely used, the situation described is nothing special here. I called the situation "unique" because the gate is not on campus. Basically, you've got a gate in the middle of the city (well, exagerated but describes the situation correctly), where some people can pass and some not. How can I describe, who can pass? And should I do it at all?

The fact that only a very limited number of people is allowed/able to pass perfectly fits the "private" access value. There is no need to define who these people are.

The "limited" number is about 6 thousand employees. For comparison, the population of the city is 44 thousand.

That doesn't really matter. If only employees have access then this is clearly private property.

It appears this method allows for specifying conditions required for access : http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions |
