The change in rendering is intentional. Is has been explained in: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/3844 As explained there the only feasible alternative would be to stop rendering barrier tags on polygon features universally. I know that for a mapper who has used this kind of tagging in the past unaware of its inherent ambiguity it seems weird that this is ambiguous tagging because in isolation it seems clear what it means. But within the overall data model and overall consistency in tagging interpretation it is. If there is a consensus in the community about it the following approach would in theory allow ultimately re-introducing the rendering some are missing now: 1) remove all rendering of barrier tags on polygons 2) mappers in a concerted effort resolving the semantic ambiguity of the >350k cases where barrier tags are currently used as a secondary tag on landuse/leisure/etc. polygons to incidate the polygon is enclosed by a linear barrier. 3) (re-)introducing the rendering of barrier polygons with a fill where this is consistently used tagging. Note (2) would be a massive endeavour without precedent in OSM history and regarding (3) it should be noted that barrier=hedge is currently not the dominant method of mapping strips of trees or bushes with polygons, see for example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/50.4774/5.2980 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/51.5144/5.7404 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/48.8437/6.2252 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/52.8414/8.4571 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/53.9644/11.0538 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/51.9532/-0.1199 https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/44.8335/40.0695 -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
