As i wrote. Access only to property OWNERS, and not "Kjøring til eiendommene er tillatt", witch is the text on destination driving sub-signs. > I haven't considered all these issues last time I looked at my code > that handles it and it still interpret 'private' as 'no'.

The access in question clearly says YES, so I do not see the problem. >> access: no >> bicycle: yes >> created_by: JOSM >> foot: yes >> highway: service >> motorcar: private >> name: Munkebotn >> note: Middelalder stamvei (ridevei) >> old_name: Den Trondheimske postvei >> start_date: 1600 >> >> http://osm.org/go/0Rv01LEg?layers=0B00FTTT >> >> Is there a problem with the tagging, or with the routing-software? >> >> > Or they don't want to take the risk > that one of their clients will do something silly, get a fine or get > arrested and then face all the legalities and / or bad press. > Just some notes about Norwegians access rules (for those who are interested). You may not restrict access to anyone that's non-motorized in Norway, except if: * Their access makes damage to you property * Their access is a danger to them self or others. ( security perimeter and "walking on the motorway") * National security (Military bases &c) * Your garden. *) *) Courts have ruled that 7 meters from you house is to far away to restrict someone access to walk on a path though your property, witch the house-owner considered his garden. As far as I know, we do not have a word for trespassing in Norway. The closest we get to trespassing laws are. * You may deny people to set up camp for more the 48h. * You may deny people to set up camp closer than 150m from a building. * You may access to people when their actions damage your property. So, if you are a programmer of a routing software, you can conclude that: Foot and bicycle have access to ALL paths and roads unless otherwise specified. -- Michael Eric Menk Linkedin: http://no.linkedin.com/in/mikemenk _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
