[Talk-GB] Fire Roads (Leeds, Nottingham, etc)

[Paul Berry]

Hi everyone,

Fire roads are an uncommon sight in the UK. They're sometimes signed as
"fire lanes," but they're nothing to do with the designation in the US (and
elsewhere) which is a parking restriction:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:parking:lane and we're also not
talking about the wide tracks in managed forests that act as a firebreak.

I mean restricted highways like this one:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/240007969 (whose source links to photo
evidence).

How do we map these? I assume service=emergency_access?

Also, how is the embedded roughly-textured paving in that photo best
represented?

There are some similar ones in Nottingham, notably at Addington Road and
Wimbourne Road there, though they're not mapped as such.

Your advice and guidance gratefully received.

Regards,
*Paul*
