[Tagging] Wiki article about key "hov"

[Martin Vonwald]

Hi!

I just stumbled upon the article of the key hov [1]. It says "yes
(also 'designated') High occupancy, but no minimum requirement
specified". In my opinion this is misleading. The tag hov=yes should -
like other access restrictions - mean that HOVs are allowed there. The
tag hov=designated should mean that the road/lane is a designated HOV
road/lane. So yes and designated have two different meanings.

I'm also missing the information that a simple hov=2 does not mean
that vehicles with less than two occupants are forbidden; we would
need a vehicle=no + hov=2 for this.

Do we agree on this?

best regards,
Martin
