[OSM-talk] barrier=tool_booth also for automated toll cameras?
Is it ok to use barrier=toll_booth for portals over the road with cameras for automated toll collection, like the ones used for LKW Maut (HGV toll) in Germany? To me, toll_booth indicates a physical barrier, and a portal is no barrier. Regards, Maarten ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

I've been using it for electronic toll collection, even though it doesn't require stopping. There probably should be some tag like highway=toll_collection to cover places where tolls are collected in addition to barrier=toll_booth where an actual stop is required.

To me, toll booths are features like stop signs and traffic lights. Barriers are things like gates that you more or less can't get through, or are an unusual hassle. pgpSzq9cLGJEq.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Well, as the name toll *booth* implies, to me highway=toll_booth or barrier=toll_booth is about where someone sits in a booth and collects a toll from you. You'll very often also find a barrier=lift_gate to enforce the toll - and I would think barrier=toll_booth implies these kind of gates together with a booth ;-) This wouldn't IMHO include the (automated) toll portals often found at german motorways - no booth involved! This reminds me more of a speed_camera or maybe even surveillance than of a classical toll booth ... Maybe something like highway=toll_surveillance ? Or some native speaker here with a better term?
