Sadly enough, most people who participate in discussions do not even know (or at least not fully understand) the laws in the own country, let alone in foreign countries. That's why a list of country-specific equivalents cannot be the target of a proposal. The proposal can only introduce a tag and its definition, and it's up to the local communities to discuss what their traffic signs mean and how they relate to the tag definitions. > In NL there is "uitgezonderd bestemmingsverkeer" (except for destination > traffic) which sounds clear, but these days there is also "uitgezonderd > aantoonbare bestemming" (except traffic with demonstrable destination).

The Austrian term "Anrainerverkehr" is not defined by a law either. But it has been a topic in literature, official websites, court decisions, and discussions in specific newsgroups and webforums. So there's now a common understanding what the term means. -- Friedrich K.
