Two tags were added to the Map Features page a while back, but don't appear to have been discussed in a proposal.
man_made=snow_fence is used for fences that help prevent avalanches in steep slopes with heavy snowfall. This tag has been used almost 3000 timeshttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dsnow_fence This seem enough usage to be in Map Features, though I'm not certain that barrier=fence wouldn't be better. That tag, while less specific, has been used millions of times and is widely supported. And isn't a snow fence just a specialized type of fence? An even rarer tag is man_made=snow_net - only use a little over 100 times. This is described as a snow fence made of cables - but isn't this just a type of fence? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dsnow_net I plan to remove man_made=snow_net from map features. If a more specific tag than barrier=fence is needed, then man_made=snow_fence is sufficient; the material or manner of construction of the snow fence could be tagged separately. Should a note also be added to the wiki pages to suggest tagging barrier=fence on the same way?
