How about a new tag of simply healthcare=emergency, which could be defined as "Only for patients requiring emergency care"? > Since healthcare=* is now rendered by standard carto > =emergency could also be rendered (yes, another icon!!! :-)), possibly as A-E / A/E / A+E, using the existing white/red hospital colours, so you'd have the cross showing that this is a hospital, & also A-E for the Emergency Ward. In the stand-alone situation that the OP proposed, it would then just show as A-E in this location, without the hospital icon. Thoughts? Thanks Graeme
