Depends if that condition is seasonal?
I’ve prioritised tagging width values on canal towpaths in some locations 
where, whilst legal, it’s precarious to try and cycle along as they’re 
practically less than a metre wide.
I’ve come across the following proposed feature 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Obstacle which didn’t 
seem to get traction - though could be useful.

I think I’ve just added a barrier node to cover off routing engines/some 
renders + as accurate a surface value as you can but they’ve always had a 
viable, not too out of the way, alternative route.

If there’s literally no trace of the path any more, I’d be more inclined to 
report it to the local council RoW officer before mapping something that 
doesn’t exist on the ground.

Subject: [Talk-GB] Blocked / overgrown / inaccessible footpaths and bridleways

Hello,

How do people normally map things like "I know there is a public
footpath that goes through here but it is currently inaccessible"?

A taginfo search finds a few candidates:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=overgrown#values

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=inaccessible#values

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=blocked#values

So far https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/overgrown seems the
nearest (it's undocumented but mentioned on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hiking ).  However, I'm sure that
there are examples that I've missed.  Most seem to be used within note
tags which can of course contain any old text - are there any actual
non-note tags and values that are used for this that I'm missing?

Best Regards,

Andy
