+ 1 on gate way - can be applied to many items.

A node for each pillar and a way to connect them?

Each pillar with man_made=pillar??
and the way with man_made=gateway???

Then sub tags for gateway=*.

A Torii is not exactly an arch, but it is a gateway (at least symbolically). Perhaps man_made=gateway is a more general term, which can incude archways as well as rectangular gateways

If you would like, you can start a proposal page.

    Been wondering for months how to tag arches in general - not a
    mention
    in Wiki.

    I do like man-made = arch.

    I do think that there are several major types of arch which help, so
    this discussion started with torii and a possible answer is given as

    Perhaps they could be man_made=archway and archway=torii?

    The archway tag could have values such as torii, triumphal-arch
    (Arc de
    Triomphe in Paris, Marble Arch in London), roman-gate. Suitable
    values
    for others will be needed.

    It seems to me that many arches have a deep cultural significance,
    often
    they were constructed to be significant in that respect, so I would
    expect memorial or possibly religious tags to be associated with
    an arch.

    How to proceed? If there is agreement does it need voting on? Or
    can the
    wiki be expanded to show this as a tag?

    Regards
