Re: [Talk-ca] Transient roads
Hi James, It may not be a reference but I used access and access time restrictions for something similar The case: A tertiary road that become a very popular cross-county skiing way in winter; I used: highway=tertiary paved=yes lanes=2 access=no date_on=winter sport=skiing http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=45.3317lon=-72.20016zoom=17layers=B000F TF Someone has a proposition/reference to give?

I'm mapping a road that only exists during the winter months. How do I tag it? Access is limited by season, but access tags seem to be aimed at who can access, rather than when. There are a couple references to winter roads in the BC, Alberta, and Manitoba wiki pages. Does anyone know of any examples of roads with access restrictions based on time/season?

The only thing I see in the data base so far is surface=ice_road, six times, and surface=ice, twice http://osmdoc.com/en/tag/surface/#values We find it mentioned here, under surface= which might not be optimal, but is true, and observable by other mappers. access=seasonal may be our best bet for now, given than trying to be more-exact is likely to be more misleading. After all, some maps don't even show where traffic_signals are located, and drivers still manage to obey them fairly often. Perhaps we can count on drivers to not drive into open water? ;-) ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
