Thanks, Jerry. I thought the Nottingham features would get your attention :)
I'm surprised I missed the Fire Path page on the Wiki, but thanks for the confirmation that fire_path=yes is the way to go. As for the textured paving, I'm not sure anything surface= or traffic_calming= matches it, so I'll not tag it. (Out of interest, this Aberdeen one used to be a Fire Path, but the emergency/access tags have not been updated accordingly: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/124065409) Regards, *Paul* On 3 February 2017 at 11:17, SK53 <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks like a documented on the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap. > org/wiki/Fire_Path > > On 3 February 2017 at 11:15, SK53 <[email protected]> wrote: > >> The tag that I have used for such things is fire_path=yes. >> >> There are 4 uses of the tag in Nottingham and 2 in Aberdeen.
