I agree with you. But there is currently nothing formally adopted for
such access conditions based on weather.
Searching the wiki, I found these proposals:
- "surface=all_weather" ([1]) but the values should be reworked
- "dry_weather_only=yes/no" ([2])
- the conditional access restrictions ([3]) (but this is more legal
with traffic signs)
- see all the pages on specific road tagging per countries ([4])
- and how other countries handle the question you raise. For instance,
Australia ([5])
They are maybe other ideas. What you need is "find the best one and
use it". Or if you want that the community (and the renderers styles
maintainers) adopt it as well, start a "vote" process and explain how
important it is in your country.</pre>

I think that those road conditions are akin to "danger of flooding".<br>
I think that they generically belong to <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/hazard">Proposed
features/hazard</a> of which the article in the discussion is
very eloquent regarding the wide scope or that tag.<br>
I am surprised that this proposition is 6½ years old and that
taggers have been tagging that much time without much concern with
what it contains or can be extended to (and taggers, who seem more
interested in adding new features than readjusting what was done,
will probably rarely come back to add hazards).<br>
In particular, I have started tagging speed limits and I was
perfectly astounded that absolutely no 30 km/h limit tagged so far
indicates school/children safety. 30 km/h limits are often of that
kind however and they are important to know as a child can burst
from between two parked cars.<br>
I have slightly amended hazard=school_zone, especially to cover a
crossing in that zone.<br>
<br>
I suggest that the discussion is ripe and that a vote be started at
least for children hazards.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
