access=destination says nothing about a legitimate reason to be there 
according to the wiki (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Access) - just 
that it's your destination. For example, you might want to go to a park 
within such a community to walk your dog, which would seem to be allowed by 
access=destination on the gate node, roads, or parking, but that would be 
incorrect unless you are, or are the guest of, a resident.


I tag everything within such gated communities as access=private.

 +1

Everywhere private has a class of people who are legitimately allowed there.

The point about destination is that anyone is allowed but only if they are
going to that place (typically the restriction is to stop rat running).

There's also access=permissive, where a location is private (not a right)
but the owner gives blanket permission for anyone to access. That doesn't
sem to be the case here.

Btw. I think current Mapnik rendering renders addr:housenumber=* over 
barrier=gate .
Meaning: if u tag em both u won't see the gate icon at all but only the house 
number. .. Which imho is not ideal.

I'd love to see both rendered (when space allows) as both are of high 
importance.

This is based on my experience in Haiti where often the only instructions to a 
place is eg: about 400m down, black gate on the left with #15 on it.

Has anyone bn thinking about this? (How) can I submit a ticket to suggest 
fixing this?

I would normally tag the address on a landuse area or a building node or 
area, not on the gate. However, I would agree that Mapnik should render 
whatever icon is represented by the other tagging on a node at a higher 
priority than using the house icon associated with addr:housenumber.

Re: [Tagging] Gated communities - access=private or destination?

2012-04-15 Thread Jaakko Helleranta.com
I prefer tagging the addr:housenumber on building outline, landuse, parcel, 
etc, too. That's clearly the right place for it.

The challenge, though, is that if/when one is simply driving by it's very 
difficult to know especially in densly built areas where the # should be placed 
-- even when looking at the imagery afterwards. 

So, in these cases it makes sense to me to tag the house# on the gate. .. And 
it might make sense to tag it on that in any case to pinpoint which gate (of 
the often many nearby gates) is the one with that specific #).

And just to clarify: Mapnik doesn't render any house icon on 
addr:housenumber, it merely renders the number (and in the case of combined use 
of barrier=gate it does that currently at the expense of the gate icon).

That's creating nits where they don't even exist!  Owner is a more
complicated concept (and for this discussion would include a person
leasing a single-family house).

I think the key issue with legitimate reason is that it's tied to
thinking about rights of access.  With an entirely private place, only
owners have a right of access (ignoring utility easements), and everyone
else is there by permission.

 In addition, the example for destination - customer parking lots -
 has the same problems as a gated community. You (usually) can't park
 there to sleep in your car or have a tailgate party.

True, but that raises the larger question we keep avoiding: are we
building an ontology to represent the entire world?

My impression is that access=destination is a slightly damaged version
of access=yes.  The road is a public way, but use for other than going
within the complex/etc. is specially prohibited.

It seems those lots are tagged access=customers.  That's an expanded
version of access=private, to note that customers of nearby stores have
permission.

These two uses are fundamentally different (public- vs private+).

access=private/permissive/destination/yes is currently more or less
based on concepts in English law.   I think what you're trying to do
(and I understand why and think it's reasonable) is to have a way to
define the set of people

 How would you distinguish an entry for visitors from an entry for
 residents only?

That's reasonable, but these are subtypes of access=private.
perhaps

 private=residents
 private=guests

I think it's helpful to articulate what the data consumers are going to
do, and what decisions they need to make, which leads to working on the
grand ontology (which is what I was doing above).

There is already an extension to the barrier class which allows to
mark the presence of a guard.

what is right and what is wrong depends on the circumstances. I
also prefer tagging addr:housenumbers to where they apply, but in
Italy this is (as I was recently told on talk-it) actually the gate,
not the house or the parcel.

And so could the security company.  But the HOA and security firm are

effectively, exactly what private is.

I have seen gates that had number signs (1, 2, 3, etc., not a street address).  
This number would logically go into the name tag.

No, I mean that I saw signs on the physical gates, labeling them as gate 1,

You were asking how to mark a residents only entrance and I suggested one. 
If you want to be a purist about it, find out what other tags Mapnik might

That's not a solution. Mapnik already renders the type of access in text 
if you use MapQuest's rendering rules. Routers should be able to point 
you to the proper gate.
