That tags the pipe line itself.

The request is to tag the area set aside for a pipe line ... a reserve.

There is already a tagging structure for pipelines that takes into account whether it's underground or overground. See

for a section of the Trans Alaska Pipeline. However, the land area above the pipeline, which is restricted for casual access throughout Alaska, has no special tagging.

    Hi,

    A question came up on the Australian list that would be more
    appropriate here.

    "My local area (and I'm sure many others) have lots of pipeline
    reserves.

    I'm really not sure how to tag these. They appear to have

    public access for walking at least. (One local one has a sign
    disallowing golf...) Some others appear to be across private
    land, and i'm less interested in those, I'd really like to
    show those ones with public access.

    <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/370388062#map=17/-38.15997/145.20073>


    I've tagged them as leisure=park previously, and paths
              evident on the ground have just been tagged highway=path.


    Any ideas?"

    My comments:

    I note the pipeline is not visible ... I assume underground and the
    location is not evident so you cannot map the pipe line itself.

    As it is a landuse ... ?
    I would tag landuse=pipeline

However ... some pipe lines cross farms, residential areas ... these have legal easements through the associated properties.
    And these would be already tagged with a landuse.

    Humm power lines are mapped ... should there be similar provision
    for other infrastructure?
    Perhaps a 'infrastructure' tag that can be used for all?
    infrastructure=pipeline
    infrastructure=sewer
    infrastructure=water
    infrastructure=phone

    Note it should be used for the area that is affected by/reserved
    for the infrastructure, not just the infrastructure itself?
