To add a similar question about other common electric fence crossings -
what do people normally do with "the bit of electric fence on a hook"
(with an insulator that allows you to unhook it, let people through, and
hook it up again) and "an electric fence with no crossing at all".
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8152509363 is an example of the
former and https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/8152399307 the latter.
Taginfo finds 167 "gate" values internationally
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/gate#values (not all gate types)
and 63 "gate:type" values
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/gate%3Atype#values - but I've no
idea what many of those actually mean.
For stiles, there's 1 use each of "insulated_hose" and
"insulated_section" https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/stile#values
, which sounds like what you're looking for here.
I don't think that there's a good example for the "electric fences move
about" problem. If they're moveable, they probably won't be there at
all half the year either.
Best Regards,
Andy

So it is a footpath where somewhere along it there is an electric
fence, but location changes?
Maybe wheelchair=no + note tag with an explanation placed on path
would be a good solution?
Nov 23, 2020, 06:25 by mar...@templot.com:
There are several instances locally where a footpath across a
field is crossed by an electric fence.
The farmer usually fits a length of rubber hosepipe over the wire
so that walkers can safely step over the fence. Sometimes with the
aid of a couple of concrete blocks.
How to map? Technically it is probably a form of stile. But the
problem is that the location isn't fixed. Electric fences are
moved about according to which area of the field the livestock are
currently grazing. In a large field the position could change
significantly.
But walkers with restricted mobility do need to know that there is
one somewhere in the field. The position might be important if
there is an alternative gate or other access which could be used.
