Where I'm travelling, it's quite common to have pedestrian crossings over a river with low tech cable cars. Take two steel cables, make a wooden cart and hang them underneath. These are usually tagged as cable cars, like here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/333694395 However, since this tag is usually used for quite a different kind of structure (see the wiki) it might give people the wrong impression, and get rendered on low zoomlevels or a dedicated skiing map. Any suggestions for a better tag? This question is marked "community wiki". asked 11 Apr '15, 20:16  joost schouppe |
One Answer:
While cable car is technically correct, using the value is clearly a bit misleading, alternatively you could simply use the generic aerialway=yes, or propose, or simply use a more appropriate value. answered 15 Apr '15, 09:46  SimonPoole ♦ |
The mapping could also be supported with additional tags to describe it's state or quality.
