In the California Sierra Nevada I tagged a couple of roads with: conditional:access=“no @ (Nov-May)” note=“Seasonal closure from first snow until spring, see CalTrans website for status” website=“http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgi”
With the barrier=gate at either end of the seasonal section tagged with the same conditional:access and note tags. In retrospect, I probably should have used a description tag rather than a note tag for the descriptive text. —Tod > On Jan 1, 2020, at 7:08 PM, Bill Ricker <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Burlington Family Rescued After GPS Leads Minivan Down Snowmobile Path. > > BURLINGTON (CBS) > > It was an early morning rescue by ATV Sunday in Jefferson, New Hampshire. > > ...
