Right, this can be problematic, both for pedestrians (who might not know "the law" or "what pedestrian access am I actually allowed here?") as well as for OSM (how to tag?) "Quacks like a duck" tests are good, though I think OSM can do better at specifying and realizing explicit tags — or implicit tags, because of well-understandable rules that a parser/router/renderer/use case can implement. We seem to have a fair distance still to go here, as while Brian's question seems it is getting some answers (how you feeling about those, Brian?) it also seems like it's getting some "what about easements...?" side-discussion, as well. There are likely other subtle issues here to be addressed, I think there are parts of the world where even what we've said so far won't completely describe the real-world fully or even sufficiently. It's seldom easy around here! But I'm delighted to be exchanging this roll-up-our-sleeves discussion as we do. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
