[Tagging] Feature Proposal - RFC - Key:harvesting

[bkil]

What if at each entrance of such national parks, a website link of the
national park is posted (among other basic info like fire starting
restrictions)? And on the news section of the given website, they
usually remind people of such laws and reiterate various rules,
including how much you can pick from and what kind of things without
permission.

We also have trespassing prohibitions around various sections of
railway lines and some are even surrounded by chain-link fences or
artificial solid noise barrier walls. However, this is not true for
most sections, especially where no urban area is nearby, like in the
middle of crop fields. We don't have high speed rail here: a few
sections go up to 160km/h, but most only allow for up to 100-120km/h.
Even where the railway operator constructed noise barrier walls, it
could still be lined by multiple tree rows from the outside on each
side - having planted those before the barrier was built. I agree that
it's dangerous to pick berries just by the rails, but hardly if it's
outside the protective wall.

And usually at these places in the "wilderness", the boundary edge
between a crop field and a railway is fuzzy, especially as most
agricultural towing vehicles also create tracks on this edge, usually
also delineated by a ditch. And such "no man's zone" strips are
usually thriving with vegetation - both bushes and trees can be found
here.

The property ownership can be "flexible" - parts of it owned by the
railway, part of it property of the crop field's owner or user, and
sometimes part of it owned by the local authority. The last case can
also be caused by being marked on internal land registry charts as
"reserved for future road construction" - being reserved and unused
for decades or even forever as a strategic resource.

I'm interested mainly in cases where the general access and the harvesting/foraging access may differ. For nature reserves and managed forests, such tagging would hopefully be based on posted restrictions like signs. If it isn't clear and verifiable to someone visiting in person, I'd hesitate before adding a tag. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Good_practice#Don.27t_map_your_local_legislation.2C_if_not_bound_to_objects_in_reality
