You state: "No specific legal definition is given since country specific or even local law does differ too widely with respect to vehicle classes." but how can you then determine if your car with an 1-axle-trailer is included or not? Or your car with a length of 6,5 ? Or your car which only has 2 seats and legally goes as "goods"-vehicle even if it is a small car? If you introduce a new class you should define to which vehicles it applies. If you can't do it for all countries, do it for your country and let others do it for theirs. Then you redefine "motorcar" to "The Map features’ Restriction section entry for motorcar is updated: Access permission for (motor) cars, including larger vehicles like trucks and busses. Also see car=*. See the access=* page for details." I am opposing the inclusion of busses and trucks in "motorcar", as I don't think that this is the common interpretation of this tag (whatever the wiki states about it). Let's undo (or revision) this edit: 11:39, 14 October 2010 T-i (Talk | contribs) m (12,875 bytes) (→Land-based transportation: adjusted hierarchy) typical case of wiki fiddling where the meaning of motorcar was extended to all those other classes. This was never intended to be like this. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key%3Aaccess&action=historysubmit&diff=545364&oldid=542111 I undid this, please verify.
