There has never been agreement here on 'dangerous' areas. Even after
people have lost there lives using GPS to go in to 'dangerous areas'.
Some 'dangerous areas' require the police to go heavily armed and in
large numbers to ensure their own survival.
Even the mapping of areas of land mines has been left to third parties.

hmmm i do see the point there about racial/class bias... i was
thinking more about areas that were known crime spots/had associated
illegal activities people may want to avoid(to the point there are
regular police patrols at night)? also places where getting a phone
out could lead to it being stolen? i've heard that can be an issue in
some areas. just wasn't sure if any of those scenarios really deserved
tagging because i didn't really feel there was a bias there? either
way just wanted to check (sorry if this shows up as a double post, i
saw there was a reply to mailing list option i should be using, i get
the impression the first time didn't send)

On the other hand, an overlay with data about various risk factors --
crime, weather, accidents, air quality, cancer clusters, whatever --

As far as "bad areas" and "class and racial bias" go, I'll admit that
I contemplated the idea of tagging the walking paths within some city
public housing projects as access=destination, because it reflects
the reality on the ground -- generally, people don't walk *through*
the projects to get to a destination on the other side. But it's
immediately obvious that this is bias-based interpretation: when I
say "people" I mean people I know, and OSM is for everybody, not just
people I know. So unless the paths are physically impeded,
unmaintained to the point of decay, or signed "residents only" they
need to be equal to any other walking path.

Other than dog toilets, this is too subjective to be included in OSM
at all, and tends to stink of class and racial biases.

Hello, i was wondering whether there was a way to tag areas that
may be
risky/dangerous to walk in? i can think of a few streets that
could use
the tag, was there anything of the sort that has been agreed on?
