Hi Mateusz, Of course a single bad link is not enough. I also didn't realize how many objects are already tagged with emergency=yes.
I've never liked the way access is implied on all the specific tags, where we write access:bicycle as bicycle. IMHO, it makes the tagging scheme more complicated to understand for a new mapper. Since emergency can be used in two different ways, it makes it harder to get an idea of what values are used in the access sence and which in the amenity sense. Theoretically, you could have a road which has both some sensible emergency-amenity AND emergency-access. I haven't seen many of those though, e.g. I guess you could consider a road also tagged as an ambulance_station or a coastal_defence as simple mistakes. Looking at the values used in the context of emergency, I do think there's need for some decent documentation. The general access values don't mention things like ambulance, fire_fighters, fire_truck etc.). In the spirit of other access tags, I suppose these should rather be ambulance=yes instead of emergency=ambulance. 2017-10-31 9:26 GMT+01:00 Mateusz Konieczny <matkoni...@gmail.com>: > *separate section for meaning > > > On 31 Oct 2017 8:24 a.m., "Mateusz Konieczny" <matkoni...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Single bad link on wiki is not a good reason for mass edit worldwide, > changing all editors, changing all data consumers, changing habits of all > users using this tag, introducing confusing and unusual prefix (it is not > like OSM tagging scheme requires more confusing things) and changing all > pages on wiki describing this tag. > > Just fix the bad link, separate section four meaning as an access tag > makes sense. > > On 30 Oct 2017 11:08 a.m., "joost schouppe" <joost.schou...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> On the access page, there is a described use for emergency=* .
