Not really an aerialway as it is anchored to the ground at each end. Why not highway=bridge, layer=n, foot=yes, etc. and bridge_type=transporter?
Afaik this is the only remaining one in service in the UK (and I have used it!) but I believe that there are one or two others still standing but out of service (e.g. Warrington?).

I thought it was literally called "Transporter Bridge," I wasn't aware any bridges of that design still existed, given their limited popularity. I'm wondering if aerialway=* would fit best (aerialway=ferry perhaps?). _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
