<div>I can't answer your question but have wondered why someone
hasn't (as far as I know) tried creating an Emergency Services
router, it seems as potentially valuable as the usual
bike/car/walk routers? Likewise, it ought to be possible to
create a tall vehicles router using OSM data that avoids low
bridges etc. <br>

uses products based on OSM in their control center (not on vehicle
though) and have a lot of experience with using OSM in such a
setting. I can provide contacts if anybody is interested.</p>

<div>I'm sure it partly comes down to confidence in the data,
but I know that the SatNavs currently used by some Emergency
Services in the UK, though produced by a reputable commercial
provider, regularly lag reality by months or years, and I
wonder if they are aware of emergency services routes?</div>

volunteers of the Dutch community) are working on
standardizing emergency services on OSM and running a
series of workshops. Fire brigades and ambulances are
using Openstreetmap data for navigation to fires. We
have quite a number of firemen and women contributing as
well.<br>

always as obvious as just driving down a road or path.
They have also locations where they are allowed to cross
a meadow to quickly reach a certain point in a nature
reserve. It is tempting to use the tag highway=virtual,
but is not by every mapper regarded desirable. We're
looking to find a compromise on this one.</div>
