I think I see what the problem is and correct me if I'm wrong. Under the current tagging scheme the only way to tag a road that prohibits Kraftwagen would be something like...
bus=no goods=no hgv=no moped=yes motorcar=no motorcycle=yes ...and probably several others Even though this situation is unheard of in North America and the UK, it is common enough in Germany that there should be a way to streamline it, something along the lines of double_track=no, or, if there isn't a suitable English translation, kraftwagen=no. I would agree that Personenkraftwagen translates perfectly into motorcar in the OSM sense of the word. ________________________________ From: Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com> Sent: February 18, 2017 8:26 PM To: Tag discussion, strategy and related tools Subject: Re: [Tagging] access: motorcar and goods, how to read the hierarchy sent from a phone On 18 Feb 2017, at 22:36, Tristan Anderson <andersontris...@hotmail.com<mailto:andersontris...@hotmail.com>> wrote: I don't see anything wrong with the hierarchy. It was mentioned that there are signs in Germany that forbid motorcars to pass. Are you sure that these signs aren't prohibiting all vehicles from passing? This may be the case even if there's a picture of a car on the sign. in Germany the sign with the car on it is about "Kraftwagen" which includes besides pkw (cars) also buses and hgv, but it doesn't include motorbikes (Kraftrad), typically you'll see a sign which forbids entry for both these classes: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bildtafel_der_Verkehrszeichen_in_der_Bundesrepublik_Deutschland_seit_2013#/media/Datei%3AZeichen_260_-_Verbot_für_Krafträder_und_Mofas_und_sonstige_mehrspurige_Kraftfahrzeuge%2C_StVO_1992.svg there's no class for "Kraftwagen" in osm if motorcar is about cars (Personenkraftwagen, or is that passenger car?): https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personenkraftwagen but I'm not sure about the corresponding term because you can't really rely on wikipedia interlinking here, at least the italian article should be linked to Personenkraftwagen, not to automobile as it is now: https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autovettura and likely the English one as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car but the English one is not clear in any way, anyway. Apparently the uk doesn't have a traffic sign restricting the access just for cars: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/traffic-signs cheers, Martin
