[Talk-GB] Gates (was: Private roads...)

[Gregory]

Some stats on usage as of Aug 2009:
151 status=locked
106 status=open
49 status=closed
21 locked=yes
16 locked=no
11 closed=yes
4 open=yes
2 open=no
2 gate:locked=no
2 gate_lock=yes (possibly the waterways lock meaning)
single uses of locked=true, locked=overnight, status=closed?,
status=unlocked
source: searching
http://osmdoc.com<http://osmdoc.com/en/tag/status/#values> for
tags I could think of.


Personally I would propose the following be added to the barrier:gate wiki
page (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:barrier%3Dgate)
status=open
status=unlocked (to mean closed but unlocked)
staus= locked (implies closed)

* This doesn't cover if it is fixed open (e.g. rusted or excessive plant
growth holding it back).
* We could make it gate:status=..., but I don't see that status would clash
or cause confusion with other tagging of the node.
* It could possibly be further extended by status:day=* and status:night=*
for those normally changed based roughly on daylight, otherwise the more
complicated opening_hours proposal could be used.

Who supports the this tagging, or suggests amendments?
I suppose it should be cross-posted to the tagging list, is somebody on that
list and can forward it please?
I'll also edit the wiki Talk page
