But these are basically "legal rules" you may find somewhere. I am fine with that. I am not fine with guesswork. "I think the owner allows bicycles but not cars" without any hint of this really beeing the case.

I had the phrasing in our German discussion already. In routing you are either Allowed to use a way Not allowed to use the way Allowed to use the way at the tail/head of a route What is access=private? And if you answer "it depends" - On what does it depend and how does the software know? And how does the software distinguish between ways in a nuclear power plant and a driveway? access=private is mostly excluded for everything for good reasons. For a driveway marking it as service/driveway is everything you need. It has penaltys so its basically the same as destination. If you add a private to a driveway you change the routing availability from destination to no. And i dont think this is what most owners of a driveway would expect. If they dont want people on their driveway by all means the'll put up signs or barriers which is common in some areas of the world. I definitly would be angry if some random mapper adds a access=private to my 1.5km driveway (Which i have) because i want people to be able to reach my house. I had this and it caused 15km+ diverts for people relying on OSM. Flo -- Florian Lohoff f...@zz.de UTF-8 Test: The 🐈 ran after a 🐁, but the 🐁 ran away
