Hi, "Devil's Slide Bunker" is a WW2 observation point near Pacifica in San Mateo County in California.
OSM has the bunker listed as a "tourism=viewpoint", along with access tracks from the nearby CA-1 highway: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/37.56868/-122.51506 The area is technically on private ground, and a sign at the location says: "Warning. Hiking or climbing prohibited in this area. This property is designated as a dangerous area. It shall be unlawful to trespass thereon. San Mateo County Ordinance No. 1462" (http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/dssign.jpg) At the same time, searching the web shows tons of tourist guides that recommend a visit to this prohibited place, replete with photos showing lots of people around, and "Devil’s Slide Bunker sits on private property and is technically not open to the public, but a nearby parking area for the Devil’s Slide Trail, easy access along a short dirt trail, and no fencing mean that people stop to check it out and walk around every day." The DWG has received a complaint from a concerned citizen (via AllTrails) complaining about this illegal tourist attraction on OSM. While it is undeniably a de-facto tourist attraction, and undeniably offers great views, I think it should probably be changed to historic=ruins, access=no, and the tracks leading up to it should also be changed to access=no. Opinions?
