The gate here https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/52.33809/-0.17666 has been closed to vehicles for a several years. It had a small hand gate for walkers and cyclists which saved a detour of one K or so. The College has some young students now so the small gate can't be opened from Coxons Close either since 2015. I'm told it is exit only at some times, A young woman I asked said "I have to take the long way around but a can get out after work by pressing a button on the inside to get out". I mapped it as barrier=gate, how do i add these conditional tags. I tried out the routers on the main map page. Car, cycle and foot all route through it. Should I just break the way to stop incorrect routing? asked 06 Jan '17, 14:20  andy mackey edited 06 Jan '17, 14:21 |
One Answer:
Don't break the way, use access tags instead. According to your description it sounds like a private gate to me. In this case I would just add Alternatively you could try to use conditional restrictions if you know the exact times the gate is open. However in your case I wouldn't bother to map them. If you insist to map them nevertheless then use the most restrictive value as default. Example: answered 06 Jan '17, 14:52  scai ♦ edited 06 Jan '17, 14:57 |
Thanks Alex
I added access=private as scai suggested and now walkers and drivers don't get sent through there by the routers.
