<div>I like this proposal as it could also encompass regular seasonal
closures. There are many roads through the mountains in Vermont that
are generally closed from Nov 1st through May 30th each year due to
snow. These could be tagged as:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>closed = Nov-May</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>or </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>closed = yearly</div>
<div>closure_dates = Nov-May</div>

i like this second one, with a little tweaking it might also cover<br>
a projected reopening after renovation/replacement.<br>
<br>
it would also account for seasonal roads, there are a number of<br>
lovely dirt roads in Washington County with signage warning<br>
that the town doesn't plow them.<br>
<br>
for that matter, there are roads in the Alps that don't get plowed,<br>
are there any european mappers following this list who know<br>
if those get tagged for seasonal closure, and if so, how?<br>
<br>
this weekend, i'll see about pulling this together into a proposal<br>
and bring it up on the tagging list.<br>
