A hotel may be for 'designated' persons only .. eg employees,
students only for an apartment building.
An entry may be 'private' for residence only.
I don't have problems with the access tag on other things than highways.
But what does access=designated mean in case you do not further
specify the "designated to XYZ" ?
Designated is only useful when the group of users/vehicles/.. is
specified.
That could be best served by a tag designated=value ? The value could be
taken as text by a render thus providing for all possibilities.
Much simpler than the highway access thing of individual tags of
motor_vehicle=yes etc.
The examples you give also fall under the access=private definition IMHO.
Disagree. But 'splitting hairs' to do it.
access=private is defined as "Only with permission of the owner on an
individual basis"
access=designated is defined as "A preferred or designated route for a
specific vehicle type or types,"
So "private" means individual permission, designated means permission
for a group/type.
The above hotel I used as an example maybe open to all the employees of
a firm, thus 'designated'. If it were open to only to individually
granted employees of a firm then it would be private.
The permission is not on an individual basis but 'designated' to a group
of people, not individually.
I don't think access=designated can be replaced with access=private.
