<div dir="ltr"><div>Ed is of course right. How to map it is a more vexed problem. I think I'd still map it as a footbridge with handrail and a note that it was damaged (or even ford=yes as well): if you report it to your local highway authority it may get fixed.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason I'm responding to this is that I've been meaning to ask if we have a common means of tagging these plank bridges across ditches & streams which are so common on footpaths. Has anyone tried to deliberately map this type of bridge? Are planks a standard width so that width=* can readily be tagged? My father finds the 1-plank wide ones a little awkward to manage now that his balance is not so good.</div><div><br></div><div>Jerry</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Sun, 5 May 2019 at 13:33, Ed Loach <<a href="mailto:edloach@gmail.com" target="_blank">edloach@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid">

There is a solid handrail, but only a small plank of rotten wood, about <br>
2ft long by 4 inches wide, dropped in the mud:<br>
