Agreed... and when not passable by anyone, I wouldn't draw it on OSM as any highway=* way nor related points like ford=*. However, if some traffic is NOT POSSIBLE but other traffic is, I'd probably still use access tags like foot=*, bicycle=* etc. even if those are primarily for LEGAL restrictions. E.g. if it is suicidal to try to cross such ford with bicycle there, I'd probably add bicycle=no. I should point out that it works out here, where attempted suicide is illegal (and you'll get fined for it :-) Otherwise tag purists would dislike it. > Many 'fords' in Australia are normally dry. > > When the river runs high those fords can become impassable for quite > some time .. weeks..
