Wheel baths for disinfection are used to prevent the spread of diseases 
in agricultural areas. They're most often found at roads and tracks that 
go through plantations or farms but sometimes also at administrative 
boundaries along major highways.

Example 1: Tertiary road

plantation

Example 2: Trunk road at provincial boundary 
<https://www.google.com/maps/@7.4964532,125.2491605,3a,90y,185.19h,95.1t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sonwZ1OzAUQE7aOfPcL91ag!2e0!5s20210701T000000!7i16384!8i8192>

There's currently one instance 
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4189413121> of amenity=wheel_bath 
but amenity probably isn't a very good choice here.

I'm thinking that highway=wheel_bath might be better suited. Any 
thoughts on this?
