How do I tag a ford (road crossing a river) that is usually impassable to motor vehicles, in Potlatch ? asked 11 Jul '11, 08:32  Chris Boone |
2 Answers:
If "usually" depends on the amount of water and therefor on the season, you could try access:date_on=YYYYMMDD and access:date_off=YYYYMMDD. If it is only impsssable by cars (for example, walkers-only steping stones), maybe access:vehicle=no ? In any case it sounds like you should consider some extended usage of the access tag. answered 11 Jul '11, 13:08  Vincent de P... ♦ |
First of all you should of course use the tag highway=ford. In addition to this I would use tags like smoothness=* depth=* Although smoothness does not apply to water, it could be used in analogous way I suppose. answered 11 Jul '11, 09:49  ALE |
ford=yes is prefered to highway=ford, since being a ford is orthogonal to being a path/tertiary/track/etc. Same thing as bridges.
