[talk-au] Emergency phones along freeways

[Brent Easton]

Hi Lachlan,

Yes, I think that is very useful information.

I guess

 amenity=telphone
 name=number

would do as a minimum, though they are not 'public' telephones as such. I think some specific tagging would be a useful addition to the OSM tag set.

Cheers,
Brent.
