Agreed: I often do something similar. In this case, though, I'm not entirely comfortable with highway=service as a tag, because there's no consensus that highway=service implies a right of through-passage for (among others) cyclists, pedestrians etc. A routing engine would not be off-beam to interpret it as access=destination; so it may well be the case that, by "fixing" routing for cars, it's breaking it for other users. As ever, we tag what's on the ground. In this case, there's a sign advising "Unsuitable for motors". So rather than "motor_vehicle=unsuitable", which implies a value judgement on OSM's part ("we say this is unsuitable"), we could perhaps use the subtly different "motor_vehicle=not_advised" (with "source:motor_vehicle=signage" for the truly pernickety), or something like that. It's all a bit angels-on-a-pin until any routing clients actually take note of the tags, of course, but it's certainly an issue worth considering. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/Unfit-for-motors-tagging-for-routing-tp5739827p5739879.html Sent from the Great Britain mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
