Along freeways in Australia (such as the Hume Highway), there are regularly spaced emergency telephones. I have uploaded a photo of such a phone located along the M7 motorway in Sydney to <br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Emergency_phone_au.jpg">
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Image:Emergency_phone_au.jpg</a><br><br>On the Australian talk list it was agreed that it would be useful to mark these phones in OSM. They are numbered, and so providing this information on a map could help someone locate their position along the freeway.
<br><br>A possible method for tagging these telephones would be<br>amenity=telephone<br>class=emergency<br><br>This would essentially make them a sub-case of public telephones. We could also create a new amenity value such as amenity=emergency_phone.
<br><br>Does anyone have any other suggestions? Which option do people like the best?<br>
