The other usage of the term agricultural is the type of vehicle. In the UK agricultural vehicles are prohibited on motorways due to their slow speeds. But a farmer could use his Land Rover on a motorway as it is a car being used for agriculture. Phil

If a farmer > uses his combine harvester to go to the shop for some sugar, is that > "agricultural"? in Germany the usual occurence of agricultural is positive: motor_vehicle=no, agricultural=yes (additional sign mostly on tracks to allow agricultural traffic, usually including forestal traffic). This is referring to the intention of the traffic. If a farmer uses a bike or a motorbike to go to his field, it would be agricultural, while your example of the combine harvester going to buy cigarettes would not qualify (of course this is theoretical, because he could always pretend he was working when he takes his combine harvester to a bbq party on the field). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list colin.sm...@xs4all.nl http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
