[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Obstacle

[Andrew Errington]

I second the name "hazard".  This covers obstacles and dangerous areas.

Any hazard can be shown as a simple icon by any software.  Specific hazards 
can be parsed from the values and shown with a specific icon if necessary.

If a landslide blocks the road, then just break the way.  Routing software 
will then avoid that route.  If the landslide blocks part of the road then 
modify the way to lanes=1, maxspeed=20 for example.  This should cause 
routers to avoid the route except for access.

Best wishes,

Andrew
