So to obtain a definition of barrier=gate, you want me to do the following: Look at a region where barrier=gate has frequently been used without access tag. Let's say somewhere in the UK (a country I have never visited). Then conclude that a default of access=yes or foot=yes makes the most sense, because it will allow routing along some footways. Except there are places where the placements of the gates (the topology) would lead an intelligent person to conclude that the default access value for gates should be "no". For example when there are many ways with gates into an area and one way without a gate: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/308935502 Then there is the possibility that a footway or gate have not been mapped. So I will have to look at many, many gates and have an outstanding intelligence to obtain the "correct" definition. I'd much rather just look at the wiki. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
