A barrier shaped, like a little pool, meant to disinfect traffic tyres.

0

I came across a so called dipper situated in a way to disinfect tires of in- or outgoing traffic. In the registers I did not found a tag for it. Any ideas ? And no I can’t add a picture; it’s just a 0.20 m deep basin that’s situated behind a gated entrance so that every vehicle has to go into just like a sheep dip to eliminate lice and so on.

Like you, I can't find any existing tag for this. May I suggest the creation of a new tag 'highway=wheel_wash' for use on a node?

wheel_wash could also be a general washing device/service, so: not that good.
