I prefer asuming that a gate is closed (I tag them with access=private in these cases anyway)
This is a bad assumption to have. Just because a gate is closed, it doesn't mean your not allowed access.
barrier=gate means it's a gate & nothing else. It could be open/closed & all sorts of traffic could legitimately have access.
or you have to indicate allowed traffic (foot=yes, bicycle=yes, etc.)). Why do we have to have a default? Defaults don't work because you can't differentiate between information not present and access=default, and therefore I recommend to tag explicitly in order to get unambiguous data.
Tag what you see on the ground. If you don't know, don't tag it. Dave F. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
