The Red Cross is continuing our work on mapping the border areas of the Ebola affected countries in West Africa. Today something that came up is how exactly to tag border crossings. These are vital for humanitarian and epidemiology. There is a barrier=border_control <https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/barrier=border_control#map> tag but from my reading of the wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dborder_control> it doesn't apply to places where there is no fence. Often the borders in West Africa are a river ferry with an office set back some distance away.
I wanted to see people thoughts about the best way forward to track these features while still working within OSM conventions. -- sent from my mobile device Dale Kunce http://normalhabit.com
