[Talk-ca] Seasonal ferry routes

2014-03-10 Thread berniejconnors
Hello,
    The ferry route from Deer Island, NB to Campobello Island, NB 
is seasonal but it is not properly tagged as seasonal:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/117143395

                 I have a friend who was routing a car trip to Campobello 
Island and the route included the above ferry link which is currently out of 
service.  Does anybody have any good examples of seasonal ferry routes that are 
properly tagged to show out of service dates?  Will routing software respect 
conditional restrictions on ferry routes? I was looking at the conditional 
restrictions in the wiki:


http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions

              I would like to use the following tags:

route=ferry


route:conditional=no @ (Oct-May)

name= Deer Island-Campobello Island Ferry

operator=East Coast Ferries Ltd

url=http://www.eastcoastferriesltd.com/Fares-Schedule.html

duration=00:15

foot=yes

motorcar=yes

motor_vehicle=yes

bicycle=yes

fee=yes

    Any comments or suggestions?



Thanks,

Bernie.

Hi Bernie,

I believe I looked into this a while ago and came to the conclusion that no
routing engine currently supports conditional access. It's possible that
this has changed in the meantime. But as there is an approved proposal you
should go ahead and add the proper tags, maybe in addition to a short human
readable note=only runs June to September.
I'd say that if you're in Eastern Canada and your route includes a ferry
you should be prudent enough to check for yourself if it's running all-year.

Harald.
