In practice, for the gated communities that I'm familiar with, there's not that significant a difference between access=destination and access=private at the main gate from this standpoint. If you have business in the community - pretty much equivalent to 'your destination is inside the community' - you're extremely likely to have the permission of a resident or business owner inside the gates. Nevertheless, if you're not a resident with a key card, you're not going to get through the automated gates. So access=destination for the main gate is in theory no more permissive than access=private, but gives a router a strong indication that "here is the correct entrance for visitors." I agree that access=destination is also better than access=private for roads inside the gate that are usable by visitors. (access=private is appropriate for service ways that lead to residents-only parking and similar things.) _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
