There are many similar structures used for similar purposes, e.g. staffed by a "porter" or "gate keeper" or "janitor" (?) (someone who opens for example a lift gate), which would not be covered by this term. In my area there are also many similar structures placed mainly at big crossings, which are sometimes staffed by policemen (I'm not completely sure if they can control the traffic lights, but I guess not, because when chaotic situations occur they step out of the enclosement, put the whistle and in the mouth and regulate the traffic in person). The latter have a writing on them "municipal police", I would not consider them guard houses (although they look the same), these are typically airconditioned and will be locked when they leave. There's also a not so well known key (but still has more than 1000 uses as of now) to be added as a property to barriers: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:barrier:personnel (it is physically a different feature, but functionally very similar). And there's a proposal for extending surveillance which has a (functionally) similar property: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Extended_tags_for_Key:Surveillance#Guard Looking at taginfo, I also found security_guard=no/yes (no is by far more used) https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/security_guard and guarded=yes/nighttime/yes/daytime/... https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/guarded both of these are currently around 250 uses globally, and far from reaching "supervised=*" (200K uses) I wonder if the tag would also be suitable for "temporary" structures like tents, which may not always be as temporary as they look. For example there are such tents set up in Rome since the government decided to put armed forces in front of embassies, and this is a situation that goes on for many years, one example can be seen here in the background on the right: https://www.mapillary.com/app/?lat=41.87225687537841&lng=12.496776313017108&z=17&pKey=2L3AoKjXelz-CEG5Z4JBQg&focus=photo&x=0.5120040767123977&y=0.5725924352245725&zoom=0 Cheers, Martin
