So to summarise, you are proposing a new value for access=*, which has some overlap with "destination", "delivery" and "private" (and others), whereby the distinction with the existing values can only be made clear by refererring to legal texts?
Whatever the conclusion, the new value has to be easy to use correctly, and such subtle differences are just asking for problems... Maybe we can put a matrix in the wiki with the values down the left, "traffic classes" across the top, and "yes/no" in the cells? Traffic classes would be something like: * actual residents * visitors to residents, with or without an appointment (including delivery/contractor traffic) * visitors to residents, with pre-arranged appointment (including delivery/contractor traffic) * residents of a side-road to the road in question (it may be the intention that the side-roads are accessed by entering the road in question from the other end) * visitors to the road itself, not to a resident (e.g. intending to park the car and go for a walk) * anything else you can think of here? whereby the matrix would define the standard interpretation of the values and any deviation must be explicity tagged. //colin On 2015-10-06 09:57, Friedrich Volkmann wrote: > On 06.10.2015 08:47, Colin Smale wrote: > >> Instead of trying to translate the words on the signs, why look at what the >> relevant laws say.
