You have to remember that some physical separation are just as easy to cross as a painted line. A level strip of grass can be crossed by any car. With a big SUV you can cross curbs and so on. It's just a questions about how big your car is and the nature of the physical separation. But I don't think that OSM should be about that, but rather to be a map database to be able to provide a _legal_ route from A to B. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
