<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=812175008-27012009>Another little
tagging puzzle. I quite often encounter a barrier on footpaths that is intended
to allow access on foot but make it difficult for cyclists - either to slow them
down at a hazard or actually to block access. It is essentially a 'chicane'
formed by overlapping closely parallel fences or walls that requires four
successive 90 degree turns to negotiate (left-right-right-left or
right-left-left-right). I would tend to tag this as barrier=chicane but don't
want to create a new tag unnecessarily - and there is already a
traffic_calming=chicane tag. Although 'traffic calming' sounds a little strange
for pedestrians (we're a placid lot!) is this the better tag?
