What would it mean if an object was tagged with tourism=campsite,caravans=yes,caravan=no? If we change the meaning in Key:caravan then how will we tag that e.g, motor homes is allowed on a highway, but camping trailers are not? There are thousands of campsite and caravan_sites tagged with caravans=no. If you drive in a motorhome, you would like to know if that means that you cannot stay there. >Thanks > >Graeme > > >On Thu, 19 Jan 2023 at 09:09, Niels Elgaard Larsen <elga...@agol.dk> >wrote: > >> In the wiki EN:Key:caravans can mean either a camping trailer >> or a motorhome. >> >> But in German, DE:Key:caravans only means a camping trailer (de: >> wohnwagen) >> >> The result is that there are 222 objects tagged with: >> >> tourism=caravan_site >> caravans=no >> >> >> Some even with: >> >> tourism=caravan_site >> capacity:caravans=48 >> caravans=no >> >> Some of them in other countries than Germany. >> I find this very confusing. >> >> Wikipedia agrees with the Germans on the caravans key. >> And on the wiki for Key:access, "caravan" is listen under >> Non-motorized vehicles. >> But then "tourism=caravan_site" makes little sense for motorhome >> sites (de: stellplatz).
