Subject: Re: [Tagging] Trailhead tagging
Your proposal looks good. I would vote "yes" on it.

I made a concept wiki page:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:trailhead
I think it fits the outcome of this discussion. If not, feel free to
comment.
I don't want to change the earlier proposal, it is a step further than my
concept tagging page which just documents existing practice.

I'm therefore going to stick with 'designated or customary place to
begin or end a trip on a trail.'
Me too. I've mapped many such trailheads in Alaska and almost everybody I
know would recognize the term trailhead as meaning a point of access to a
path or trail. It's fine to add other details, like parking, toilets,
registration facilities, etc. separately. I haven't followed this thread
carefully, so can't speak to the TOP situation fully but I do know a
trailhead when I see it on a map or otherwise.

Bit of a problem when you've got to walk back the 65 klm looking for it!
Thanks

A lot of the trailheads I've mapped contain none of the identifiers you
mentioned in the first paragraph (shelter, pole, special design, flag,
etc.), all they have is a designated parking lot for your vehicle. I
would like your wiki page better if you included a designated parking
area in the list of possible identifiers.
