[talk-au] How to map around blocked roads

I don't know sorry. Given that it is located in a large pasture rural 
area I would expect that it would never be enforced. Farm workers will 
drive by the easiest route.

As I understand it when a rural road is closed it is often handed back 
to the owner of the surrounding or adjacent land, thence making it 
private property. In that case fencing and signage would be expected 
which this hasn't.

I will email the District Council of Kimba for clarification out of 
interest. If I get a timely reply I will post here.

For the moment I have created a point - barrier:debris tag and altered 
the way to side step it.
