We've established: 1. There are all manner of vehicles that may have trouble getting through the chicane (bikes, trikes, tandems, trailers, wheelchairs, canoe trailers, trail-a-bikes, land-rover baby strollers, etc.) 2. No simple geometry measurement determines what will fit ( ht

And who is doing in your opinion: 1) the precision measurement of the barrier? 2) the precision measurement of the bicycle? 3) how does the routing work? You have to give it the paramaters of the bike & trailer? This is simply not practical. We need a more pragmatic approach Volker On 28 Augus

"bicycle:trailer=no would say "it's not ALLOWED to cross this barrier with a trailer" - and that is simple but wrong." You have a point there. What I want ideally is the equivalent of "width" (which I can measure) and not of "max_width" (which is written on an official road sign). But on a cycle

One can tag the maximum width that can fit through, given zero length, and can tag the maximum length that can fit through, given zero width, but a trailer that has BOTH the maximum length and maximum width will not fit through. You can't readily predict in advance whether a real-life trailer t
