Yep opening_hours was approved for ways, and an example given was for summer-only roads https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:opening_hours#Voting_addon_.22way.22
Whilst opening_hours is popular on amenities, the tag really doesn't seem to get much usage on highway tags. Perhaps wrapping it in an access:conditional works better for highways? As a benefit, conditional tags can provide a lot more states, eg: vehicle:conditional=discouraged @ (Dec-Apr "Road is gnerally impassable during the wet season") On doing a little more research, opening_hours.js script used by popular generators and validators throw an error on the opening_hours formatting being months only eg May-Nov and it expects May-Nov 00:00-24:00 or a comment https://openingh.openstreetmap.de/evaluation_tool/?EXP=May-Nov%2000%3A00-24%3A00 Mapping complex tagging for routing engines to parse will always be a chicken-and-egg situation. But I suppose build it and they will come (or route around it in this case). On Wed, 9 Feb 2022 at 16:28, Graeme Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Thanks, fellas!
