OK, we're officially off in the weeds here. (But all apparently reading from the same page, which is good.) 'No' means 'you cannot', 'private' means 'you may not.' I'd call the nuclear radiation 'invisblly impassable', but OK, the way is still visible. An 'abandoned' lifecycle prefix might be in order too, since a way in that condition is rather unlikely to be maintained! I'd map the way with the landslide as abandoned:highway=footway or construction:highway=footway, but I suppose that access=no isn't too long a stretch. I have a similar situation locally with a highway=tertiary that was wiped out by a landslide. It's still open to the handful of people who live along it (who have keys to the gates), but has a stretch in the middle that's passable only on foot. At the moment I have it as highway=path, motor_vehicle=no, abandoned:highway=tertiary, and it still belongs to its route relation, since it's still signed, "County Road 59." (I should mark it as highway=unclassified motor_vehicle=private up to the actual blockage, but it's in the bottom of a deep and narrow canyon with dense tree cover, and so far I've always lost GPS signal when trying to map the closed section.) I once saw a sign reading, "All hope abandon, ye who enter unauthorized!" access=private access:authority=Dante? The way was not paved with good intentions. :) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
