To be precise: `area=yes` on a `highway=*` means that the whole area is routable, not just the (closed) way surrounding it. I.e., clever routing software could send someone along a (shorter) path across the area instead of along its sides. Its semantics match that of `barrier=hedge` plus `area=yes`. `area:highway=*` is more akin to `landcover=*` in that it represent the surface area of the road, where `highway=*` represents the linear route of the road. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
