One thing to consider, generally as well as specifically this case, is that a barrier is not necessarily a full obstruction. A gate, for instance, can be opened & passed through. Same with this fence - it could be climbed over. If so, the way is continuous.
Does this road have a name? Is it the same for both sides? Cheers Dave F. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
