It's been almost 2 weeks since the RFC for the golf_cart access tagging. The key "golf_cart" is already in use for golf cart access restrictions. I've made a proposal to clarify that this access tagging on highway=service or highway=path is the preferred way to tag golf cart paths on golf courses and in neighborhoods.
There have been 2 comments on the talk page, and I've updated the proposal with the suggestions: 1) This golf_cart=* access tag can be used on areas tagged amenity=parking in addition to ways tagged as highway or nodes tagged highway=crossing 2) Clarified that it is unnecessary tag explicit golf_cart=no on highway=motorway There was also a comment on this list from Martin K. that "I would expect vehicles of this class becoming more popular (depending on legislation), not sure if "golf" must be in the name." This is a reasonable point, and there are other "neighborhood electric vehicles". However, although I've seen this terminology in legislation and advertising, I've only heard people talk about golf carts, and these seem to still be the vast majority of vehicles in the class of "NEVs". Similarly, legislation often refers to bicycles as "pedal cycles" or "human powered vehicles" because the legal restrictions usually include tricycles and even 4-wheeled vehicles powered by pedals or hand cranks etc. But people say "bicycle" or "bike." Similarly, "golf cart" is the easiest term to understand. Any other comments about this? Should we vote on it? Also, are you in favor of deprecating "golf=cartpath" in favor of the usual highway=* + golf_cart=designated ?
