I think you may misunderstand the meaning of access=permissive. This tag is used in cases where the owner of private property allows everyone to access it, so asking for permission would be pointless. (The owner may make individual exceptions or change their mind about granting access to everybody at any time.) > Indeed, access=permissive makes no sense for a private driveway. JFTR, there are countries (e. g. Norway) which by law have a default value of access=permissive for private driveways. -- Arne Johannessen <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Arne_Johannessen> _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
