Hmm, in my eyes many fences / barriers are also some kind of art, esp. old ones made of metal are often hand crafted (at least in Germany). They are similar to the main entrances of buildings, they try to express somehow how the owner welcomes you (in case of the entrance) or tries to keep you away (in case of the fence). I fear you will never find simple tags to describe these details in a way that allows data consumers to use the information.

How do we map this? Overlapping ways with layer tags? A relation? Another not uncommon situation consists of hedges with a fence in the middle. cheers Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
