Yes, access=private seems right then. However, there is also access=destination. As I read the wiki it seems that destination is consdered appropriate when there is sign saying that, like no thru traffic. In the US, the notion of trespassing involves permission; someone who has been given permission to come to a house for a visit is called an "invitee" and the "no trespassing sign" does not apply because they are not in fact trespasssing. The sign is there, legally, because here what is prohibited is "trespass after notice"; being on the land of another without permission is trespassing but that is not prohibited. So in some sense, a residential place signed like that is actually access=destination, but with the notion that you need to have permission to be at the destination. The wiki notion of destination means that you can simply choose to go the destination, with no trespassing considerations, and if so you may use the road, as a traffic rule thing, rather than a trespassing thing. So now I'm back to agreeing with you, that this should be access=private and pretty much everyone need to use a router that allows a terminal set of multiple ways of private access. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OsmAnd" group.
