[Talk-ca] Closed Road Tagging

[Paul Norman]

If they were doing work on it I’d suggest highway=construction. If they’ve
just closed it indefinitely then I’d say access=no is the best way, but is
it really a primary if it’s closed until further notice?

 

Access=no should likely be rendered at lower zooms when on major road types

Bonjour,

 

There is an primary road (ref=112) around here that have been closed for two
year - authorities detected cracks in the pavement that was suggesting that
the road was sliding toward a large mining pit. All traffic is divert toward
Vimy Ridge since then.

&lon=-71.3602&zoom=13&layers=M

 

I know that we don't map/tag for the renderer but it is not obvious that the
road can't be used looking at Mapnik, Osmarender or Transport Map.  Is there
something else I can use to make it more obvious?

 

Here is how it is tagged at the moment...

highway: primary

ref: 112

access: no

note: Closed - Landslide warning / Fermée - Risque de glissement de terrain

 

I also added barriers at the end of closed segment.

barrier: block

bicycle: no

foot: no

 

Waiting for your suggestions

 

Daniel
