beside simple access-restrictions there are also lots of cases where the gates are open at some time and closed at other times. Generally a gate is either open or closed, so that the mere presence of a gate gives the reader of the map a hint, that passage might be obstructed. I prefer asuming that a gate is closed (I tag them with access=private in these cases anyway) or you have to indicate allowed traffic (foot=yes, bicycle=yes, etc.)). Why do we have to have a default? Defaults don't work because you can't differentiate between information not present and access=default, and therefore I recommend to tag explicitly in order to get unambiguous data. cheers, Martin cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
