Oh, sure. But you deal with those access restrictions in exactly the same way you deal with any other access restriction in OSM - if access is permissive or blocked, you tag up a short way which is only "highway=track,foot=permissive" or whatever. Just as you would if there were a bolard. I'd agree that tagging a gate means "there is a gate here" - so let's not assume that it blocks routing. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
