Hey folks, first of all I'll have to apologize my bad english. I also hope that this is the right place for my question.
I'm playing around with pgRouting and OSM - mainly in the north of Germany. (Schleswig-Holstein / Hamburg) I came across some annoying issues. There are several islands that can only be reached by ferry or train. So I filtered tags like railway=rail, route=ferry in combination with motorway=yes (For the germans: you all should know the Hindenburdamm to the island Sylt). The first thing that is quite wrong is that streets are connected to railroads the whole way long. In case of Sylt you exactly have one ramp in Niebuell and another in Westerland (Sylt). In between you have to go pickapack. By the way, it's the same problem with the ferries. So, as these kinds of transports' main purpose is "replacing" highways, they should be regardes AS highways. So what about tags like highway = trailer_railway highway = trailer_ferry we then could connect them to streets as if they were highways.
