Hi all

Up to now I have only questioned Sebastian (HighRouleur) on his information sources and reasoning on the use of access=destination

First going to the wiki: "Transit traffic forbidden, all non-transit traffic to a given element allowed."

But I am aware that the wiki does not trump common OSM usage so I would like to check with the community.

It seems that its a nonsense to use access=destination on roads that have no connection to the rest of the world, how can you forbid what is impossible. Likewise its a nonsense for where there is one point of connection. Should the destination tag be removed from all these?

one entrance

Then there are networks that connect at two or more places to the world but there is no restrictive signage. I would remove the destination tag.

Then there are networks that are clearly signed indicating Transit traffic is forbidden. These are the only places I would use the access=destination tag.

Have I got it right? Right enough to revert any tagging that does not conform?

Thanks Tony
