A UK Right of Way legal status, unsurprisingly, is much more nuanced than simply "horse yes, bicycle yes, foot yes, car no". So, in itself, it's a valuable piece of information to store in the database. Rather than just approximating this with 5,000 OSM tags, let's be precise. Use a general tag such as "highway=track" so the path is routable/renderable and so on, but augment with "designation=uk:restricted_byway", so those applications which want to parse the detailed information can do so. cheers Richard -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/amenity%3Ddoctor-or-amenity%3Ddoctors----tagging--tp22117960p22189786.html Sent from the OpenStreetMap - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
