> Hi all
>
> Up to now I have only questioned Sebastian (HighRouleur) on his
> information sources and reasoning on the use of access=destination
>
> First going to the wiki: "Transit traffic forbidden, all non-transit
> traffic to a given element allowed."
>
> But I am aware that the wiki does not trump common OSM usage so I would
> like to check with the community.
>
> It seems that its a nonsense to use access=destination on roads that
> have no connection to the rest of the world, how can you forbid what is
> impossible. Likewise its a nonsense for where there is one point of
> connection. Should the destination tag be removed from all these?
>
> Zero connections to the world
