Hello,
1) I wish to tag benches that were designed to avoid that someone lie on it.
There has been some related discussions in the past
(https://www.reddit.com/r/openstreetmap/comments/avbmsb/is_there_a_preferred_way_of_mapping_possible/
and
https://www.reddit.com/r/openstreetmap/comments/8rs7zf/how_to_map_antihomeless_bench/
)
but with no conclusion. It is possible that it has retained people to map that
kind of objects. Today, there is nearly no such information in OSM. Maybe it is
because it is not its place? Nobody expressed that clearly.
So, I started to use the tag lying_hindrance=yes on some benches. In case of
doubts, this can be verified when doing surveys, by lying on the bench. This
could also be determined most of the time by looking at a few things. The
length of the bench, the presence of a slope, the presence of separation
between the seats of the bench, and by checking if it is a standing bench. Note
that length was refused as an official key for bench and that the key for the
separation doesn't exist (armrest does not specifically concern the inner part
of the bench). The tag could be extended by specifying the hindrance type:
armrest, standing_bench, short_length, slope, ...
What do you think about this tag? Do you have alternative ideas?
2) Also, I wish to map something else related to hostile architecture. I wish
to map devices that are placed near the entrance of shops to prevent people to
sit there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGdHfvsCP7A,

combination of tags on the building where the shop is located:
sitting_hindrance=yes
sitting_hindrance:location=street_side
It can also be verified quite easily. A general tag like
hostile_architecture={sitting_hindrance|lying_hindrance} would also be quite
useful for mappers to rapidly understand the purpose of these tags.
What do you think about it?
Thanks for your time
