Hi, I'm trying to add barriers on a path but they don't show up on the map: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8812448665 https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8812448662 Any reason why? asked 13 Jun '21, 18:23  nryc |
One Answer:
Hello, barrier=wall is meant for ways (lines). Like when a wall enclose a garden, or anything. To mark a barrier on a path, you have to look at this list of point barriers to find one that match the ground. For 8812448665, I see a barrier=chain, and for 8812448662 I can't see anything, except signage. Also, from what I see, it's not access=no, but more like motor_vehicle=no (already specified on the ways) and bicycle=no (which is contrary to what's specified on the ways). So you should also modify the ways, so the routers know about the restriction. Regards. answered 13 Jun '21, 19:23  H_mlet |
It's a temporary wall, around 3 meters high, as wide as the path, made of sheet metal that prevents access from anyone (pedestrians included).
Should I go with
barrier=block?Alright, I get it now. ;-)
I'm afraid I've got no better idea, only barrier=yes, simple and unspecific... You could add material=metal, just for fun.
You should also add a note or description tag, so that other mappers (note) or users (description) will understand that it's a temporary measure, and recent so not visible on imagery and such.
Unfortunately,
barrier=yesis still not showing up on the map.Well, it seems to be on purpose (https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/4229/718939078).
You could map the wall as a line, few meters long, across the path. It would display as a thick line. But I'm not sure it will block routers though. Or you just cut the path under the wall...
Maybe barrier=block is the best option, even if it could be called tagging for the renderer.
Or you could relaunch the discussion on the subject of barrier=wall on node objects, but I'm sure I've read it several times before, with no good conclusion... ;-)
Sorry for the lack of good options.
