Re: [Tagging] Tunnel rock fall protector

AFAIK, these are functionally similar to avalanche protection tunnels. Most of the "open" sided tunnels I see in Japan are dual purpose - if it's steep enough for an avalanche, it's steep enough for rocks falling on cars to be an issue. I would use the avalanche protection tag, as it properly

[Tagging] Landuse=farmyard vs residential

I'm trying to map rural farming hamlets, and because land is at a premium in Japan, a single farmers "family" will have a small area with a very old abandoned collapsing house filled with old farming junk, an old house, a new house, a old stone storehouse or barn, several tractor
