Re: [Talk-GB] name=Flooding
Also while around York the past couple of days, I noticed various flood barriers being closed, thus closing some roads to access. Is there a way to tag a flood barrier or gate?

I agree it isn't, however, considering the current conditions some parts of the country are experiencing, the continuing weather forecasts of more to come and the fact that the ground water is so high that this water won't be going anywhere soon, then perhaps we should apply some tagging to areas that people have kindly already mapped. Maybe highways should be marked as impassable? The Highways Agency etc are producing such lists. We would need to revisit these areas to remove it as they subside but this information is invaluable to many people, agencies, charities, gov departments etc. There's also a historical benefit having areas mapped as having previously flooded, either as live ways tagged accordingly or as old deleted ways that nevertheless are still accessible. If the HOT team had been activated for this then we would be doing this sort of thing just as has been done in many other parts of the World. I'm beginning to think we are not stepping up to provide this unique mapping requirement that no other mapping service is providing.
