I'm thinking that highway=wheel_bath might be better suited. Any
thoughts on this?
Perhaps.

There were related discussion recently about similar decontaminations used for pedestrains (i.e. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made=footwear_decontamination) and other
cleaning facilities that might be accompanied by bigger tag:

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/what-key-should-be-tagged-for-these-amenities/5598/5

so you may want to look there.


Some building sites (large) have wheel cleaning done on exit to stop the access roads getting dirty - nothing to do with disinfection.


Possibly these 2 should be combined into one main tag with a secondary tag for disinfection/cleaning/*???

+1. I have tagged one such facility at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9915766339 as

access <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access?uselang=en> no <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access=no?uselang=en> amenity <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity?uselang=en> car_wash <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=car wash?uselang=en> note <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:note?uselang=en> Pour ameliorer le poussiere truck_wash <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:truck wash?uselang=en> yes


        

        

        

        


I think that most such facilities (both for desinfection and washing cars/trucks) are on non-public-roads, and thus a highway tag (in the British sense of highway being a public road of whatever size, even footpaths can be highways) would not seem like the right tag for me. Also, I have seen desinfection baths like this for bicycles (yes, I'm Dutch) and pedestrians. Seldom on public roads (except in the extreme heights of the footh- and mouth-disease crisis) and usually onto the entrance/exit of farms - and for pedestrians - on public swimming pools (to combat foot fungi).
