<p class="MsoNormal">Could you elaborate on what would be the use-case for this approach and why that is relevant? At the moment I do not see the relevance for mappnig them as an area.

<div>Being a closed way with area=yes does not mean they aren't connected to the underlying ways: I don't think router be bothered by this.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Barriers, by definition, provide some level of restriction. Without attaching them in some form it becomes hard for routers to account for them.<br>
Hedges and walls are linear in nature, not an area.</p>

<div>Currently, barrier=block is not allowed to be mapped as an area. As blocks can be big enough to map them as areas, I think it should be allowed, the same as in barrier=wall or barrier=hedge. Anyway, currently we have 3,9k of barrier=block areas in database.</div>
