What do people think about a key like drone? I'm thinking of heritage
sites/ tourist attractions, of course. I noticed on a Welsh heritage
site that they had an icon for all the amenities and permissions, and
they had one for "Drones not allowed". Obviously, we could add
drone=no to every airport as well, but that's not my main concern.
In Ireland, drones are not allowed over Office of Public Works sites,
unless you're the photographer for the National Monuments Service. Or
maybe an archaeologist with special license for a dig. But as a drone
pilot, you might not know whether a site is OPW or not.
I don't have a drone myself, I'm just not sure if this would be useful
or not. There are 9 uses so far

Note the rules for drones may depend on whether you are taking
off/landing, or just flying it over.
eg in the UK, the landowner could ban you from using a drone while on
their land. But you could stand outside their land, and fly it above
(assuming you follow the other rules for line of sight, and keeping away
from people etc).
Whereas airports have specific laws, which ban you from flying above
them. Or within 5km of the airport.
And may also depend on the type/size of drone. eg less restrictions if
it weighs less than 250g.
