Not sure how much we can trust any of these. I assume these markers are visible signs/posts at the roadside and can be surveyed? Adam Adam Sorry for the delay. Yes, they are visible signs/posts at the roadside and can be surveyed. I have put a photo of one in Victoria Australia at

To 'get it right' simply go to the location where (you think) it is and survey it. You can use what ever copyright source yo want to find something, but having found it then the location has beeen surveyed by you and has no copyright on that survey (unless you want to put one on it). On

Hi I think that, because its a emergency marker, its important to get it right. Its a HighRouler edit so we will have to decide what, if anything, to do with it. Its been at London Bridge for 12 years, recently moved to a point 100m north. But I am not allowed to "know" that the two

Hi everyone, Over the past year I've slowly collected quite a few geo-tagged photos of emergency markers, now to tag them, was thinking something like: emergency=marker reg_ref= actual marker code, e.g. 'SYR103' It would be great if they were displayed on the map! Any suggestions? Evan

Thats true, it did strike me as odd how it's in the highway category but I guess it's because most locations where these markers would be would have some kind of vehicle access. Doesn't make sense putting emergency markers in places where emergency vehicles can't get access. On 01/02/2011, at

There are a few around here that don't have vehicle access (helicopter / foot only). It's just unfortunate that it was directly translated from German and a native English speaker did not come up with the tag. I did a search but didn't come up with anything, that why I posed the question to

Wasn't thinking outside the box on that one! Was thinking in terms of the time and effort required for emergency services to reach the location marker, say if it was located on a remote narrow and steep bushwalking track. But where there is a will, there is a way! On 1 February 2011 11:41,
