There's an example of this near where I used to live. A developer built a new residential road, which got a lot more traffic than intended because it cut the distance out to the main streets for a lot of people. So he put a gate across the middle, and made two dead end roads. You can visit either side of the gate, you just can't go through. He left it as a gate instead of blocking it off completely so that it can be opened in an emergency, but it's never been opened that I've ever known. Every map I've every seen shows it as two separate roads, and ignores the gate. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
