<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<br>
<br>
How do people normally map things like "I know there is a public <br>
footpath that goes through here but it is currently inaccessible"?<br>
<br>
A taginfo search finds a few candidates:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=overgrown#values">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=overgrown#values</a><br>
<br>
<a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=inaccessible#values">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=inaccessible#values</a><br>
<br>
<a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=blocked#values">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/search?q=blocked#values</a><br>
<br>
So far <a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/overgrown">https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/overgrown</a> seems the
<br>
nearest (it's undocumented but mentioned on <br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hiking">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hiking</a> ). However, I'm sure that
<br>
there are examples that I've missed. Most seem to be used within note <br>
tags which can of course contain any old text - are there any actual <br>
non-note tags and values that are used for this that I'm missing?<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
<br>
Andy<br>
