[talk-au] NSW NP&WS tracks closed during total fire ban days

[Andrew Davidson]

 I'd prefer going with access rather than opening_hours for a couple of reasons:
1. Opening_hours is more geared towards POIs whereas access applies to ways (which is what the wiki entry for opening_hours hints at).2. Putting in opening_hours="Closed during Total Fire Ban days" causes the JOSM validator to flag an error; meaning that your tag is only going to last until the next keen JOSM user comes by and "fixes" it.
So something along the lines of:
access:conditional= no @ total_fire_ban ? 
Whatever we choose is going to be very Australian specific. In the US it might be something like:
access:conditional= no @ red_flag_warning

But a red flag warning is not the same thing as a total fire ban so you can't use the same conditional.

Some tracks/paths in a NSW National Park now have signs up that say they are closed during declared Total Fire Ban days.
 
 I have tagged these using
 
 opening_hours="Closed during Total Fire Ban days"
 
 I think I'll add that to the Australian wiki page. Comments?
 
 
  
  I don't think it fits well with "opening_hours".  It's more a conditional access restriction. 
  I'd consider something like 
  restriction=total_fire_ban 
  or seek inspiration from http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conditional_restrictions 
  But if we're capturing the info that's good.  We can refine the tag later..

 Hummm ... access:conditional=not_total_fire_ban ?    Rather OZ specific?

 Yes .. I did think of access .. and raised both as suggestions on the tagging mailing list. 
 The sole reply favoured opening_hours. 
 
 Both would/should 'work'. 
 
 However opening_hours is far simpler to enter. Maybe that is because I have more knowledge of it... ! 
 
 More thoughts? 
 
 There is also a seasonal restriction of the use of fire in some parts of SA .. October to March IIRC and applied to a general area not just National Parks. 
 I don't see a suitable tag for that .. access open but no fire use allowed. One can tag the fire places with opening_hours... but that does not indicate to people not the start a camp fire elsewhere.
