there is actually a proposal for this kind of zone, to be mapped as a polygon, useful e.g. for rendering (with name, ref, etc.), but probably not very transparent to inherit access-tags to ways from this. I had linked this also in the first message: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/boundary%3Dlimited_traffic_zone I wouldn't prefix this with IT because this is not something that gets specified or enabled on a national level. > (2) proposing access=authorised > this won't work (we should have vehicle specific tags, not general ones), and "authorized" as a value seems the same than "private". > (3) I don't like acronyms > +1 So possible tag for a ZTL in Italy could be: > highway=IT:limited_traffic_zone (scheme similar to highway=living_street) > OR > highway=residential/pedestrian + zone:traffic=IT:limited_traffic_zone > (scheme similar to zone:maxspeed=FR:30 or zone:traffic=DE:urban) > you won't gain anything with this tagging, because every ZTL has its own restrictions, times, exceptions, etc. > A few interesting excerpts IMO: > > This proposal [trafficzone] wants to install a tagging-scheme for > implicit traffic-laws [...] > > A traffic zone often bundles a lot of restrictions: not only maxspeeds > for various vehicle types, but additional regulations depending on local > law. > > Mapping reality proves that mappers don't add all those tags, they might > not even know about all those restrictions.
