Hi,

Surely the road in this case simply has tide-related opening times (and

No.
When you say "No", don't you mean "Yes"?
I meant: "No, the fact that it is sometimes closed by the tide should
not be tagged separately from the type of road, because I am not talking
about something that is 'basically a normal road just with an extra
property'; I am talking about something that is not a normal road."
Where do you get your
assumptions from about it being an unsurfaced path?
I see - I had this in mind:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Tidalflat_path
which refers to a certain type of path we have in Germany in the North
Sea, where you basically walk on the (more or less) dry seabed.
The scenario I had in mind was the Lindisfarne Causeway in northern
England.This is never "closed", but is flooded at high tide. Many people
are rescued every year because they don't heed the warnings. Doesn't
that fit your description?
Somewhat; I mis-interpreted your "closed" as if there was a gate or door
somehow, when you probably just meant closed by being flooded.
In a way, the Lindisfarne Causeway looks like a normal road with just a
few extra signs. OTOH the paths mentioned in the tidalflat_path proposal
probably don't have that many signs...
Bye
Frederik
