Although it's difficult with roads being ways and not areas, if a wood goes right up to a road (and perhaps the trees even overhang) then there should be no 'gap'. It is a matter of debate though. I'm sort of for it but I understand there are issues that could be solved with changes to editors and I limit it to certain area types.

No gap, make it a continuous way with a node at the location of the node. Tag that node with barrier=gate or barrier=entrance if it is a gap and not a gate that opens and closes. I had made a proposal to tag the usual state of a gate (open/closed/locked) but I don't think it got much support/use. I'm curious about the gate that's a node on the road. Is that another gate? See the wiki page for helpful information. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Barriers#Node_barriers > And then to I add a spur off the road to connect to it?

The validator doesn't know much context. If the ways were both roads then they should probably be connected, or connected with a barrier=bollard node close to the join. But a hedge doesn't physically connect to a road (except after the rain storms we're having!), just ignore that item on the validation. -- Gregory [email protected] http://www.livingwithdragons.com
