If barrier=gate is applied to a node in a single navigable way, or a node that joins the ends of two navigable ways, it's simple enough to interpret. But what does it mean if barrier=gate is applied to a T junction or crossroads? For example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1590988097 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1354048462 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/25417796 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3161500758 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/90386298 Edit: And if these are errors, what should I do with them? I've got 260 in the UK, but I gather creating notes automatically isn't cool. asked 11 Aug '15, 16:44 michaelt |
Looking at your examples, I suspect it means they've been mapped in the wrong place. As you suggest it makes no sense to put a gate node at such a point - in each of your examples it should have probably been mapped as a short distance along the minor or private way at each junction, though it would need re-surveying to be sure of that. answered 11 Aug '15, 16:48 EdLoach ♦ |
Personally, I'd do the following:

You could also create a map note (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Notes ) at those locations.

Indeed - that's in there "... or more likely just add a note that they will see.".
