I would appreciate your advice on how to map this place. Believe it or not, this is the entrance to a public land, but the city is required by regulations to have this gate closed and locked in front of it. It is trivial for bikes and pedestrians to walk around the gate, although it is impassible by cars. Behind the gate is an abandoned road, which leads to hiking trails. Would I use abandoned:highway=* for the road? Or should the highway=footway since it is only closed to vehicles? Do you recommend barrier=gate or I was thinking barrier=fence ; fence=chain_link since the gate is always closed. asked 22 Aug '16, 13:17 mtc |
The lifecycle prefix Regarding access tags: apparently everything except some people are forbidden to use this road. I would go for Map the gate as node of the way. Apply the same access tags to the gate as you used for the way. Maybe also add this tag: answered 22 Aug '16, 21:48 aseerel4c26 ♦ |
Hi mtc, leave the road tagging untouched or ad access=no and ad the fence surrounding the area, with the barrier=gate tag on the road. That the gate is passable (illegally) is not that important, it’s closed or locked access=no. And ad any tag you consider to be usable. answered 22 Aug '16, 13:45 Hendrikklaas |
