A search shows up 2 proposals that might also be of interest, although they both seem a little insane to me.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/access_restrictions_1.5 (RFC start: 2011-04-26) https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Extended_conditions_for_access_tags (RFC start: 2009-07-09) The 1st proposal would translate your first example to something like: access:hgv.usage=yes; access:hgv.limited=yes And I'm sure I would cover the 2nd example but I can't figure out how! The 2nd doesn't seem insane enough to meet your first example, and for the 2nd would use something like: access:width>2 = destination If it isn't already clear, I provide these proposals for information purposes only and it should not be taken as an endorsement to populate the land with tags like "access:lgv!school_zone.time=Mo,We 08:00-18:00" Craig On 9 September 2011 09:13, Ed Loach <[email protected]> wrote: > Colin asked: > >> Is there any accepted tagging standard for the ubiquitous >> "Unsuitable >> for HGVs" (white text on blue background)?
