[Tagging] Tagging for checkpoints?

2012-08-26 Thread Nathan Oliver
This agricultural inspection station [1] has the tag barrier=checkpoint,
which OSRM appears to interpret as access=no. [2]  Is this a bug in the
router, or should additional/different tags be used?

I've consulted the wiki, and can't find anything definitive about how this
should tagged.  Any suggestions?  I'm tempted to simply add access=yes,
since I'm pretty sure that everyone is allowed to pass (unless they have
forbidden produce), but I thought I'd consult the crowd.

Yes, you need to add access=yes. The router does not know who may pass 
a checkpoint and access=yes is definitely not the default for a 
checkpoint (private would be more likely).


This is a general issue for all point type barriers where a default 
access is unknown and mappers forget to add the access tags. For some 
types of barriers default access rules can be assumed. Bollards for 
example allow narrow vehicles (bicycles, mopeds) to pass but not wide 
vehicles like motorcars.
