Which one, or do I have to invent a new one ? The problem is that tagging standards change faster than the map can be reviewed. For example, I did most of my mapping during 2008. At stage the access=no tag indicated that "Access by this transport mode not permitted or unsuitable". "dangerous" is one form of being unsuitable. I'd much rather use the tag that is the best approximation of reality and add a note if it is really necessary. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
