no, it is IMHO not similar to low water crossing, being the latter usually short while a tidal road will be often some kilometres long, so the danger is really not comparable. > I don't think we use any special highway=* tags for those, or for other > roads that may be dangerous at times (e.g. heavy snow, military proving > grounds).

IMHO a road which is frequently flooded has this as a characteristic (you can also see this because they got their own name in language) while a road where you might expect heavy snowfall in winter is not comparable, it still is a road (the snowfall IMHO is not a characteristic of the road, while beeing flooded every day for some hours IMHO is). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
