[Talk-GB] traffic_intervention tag

[Stephen Colebourne]

On dates, there is one use of traffic_intervention:date which was
previously suggested on this list IIRC.

For "modal_filter", I always intended this to mean "closed to all
motor vehicles". Thus I would say a new value might make sense. But
would "permit_only" be better than "access_only" ?

When I originally defined this tag, my hope was that eventually the
road-focussed map renderers might show the data, such as with red
crosses or a red no entry icon. I do think the data has value over and
above the basic facts about highway and access.

For info, there are currently 685 active uses of traffic_intervention:

Or are they all duplication of information that can be implied from existing tags like oneway=yes or access=destination or motor_vehicle:conditional?

Alternatively is there any scope for recording when changes were implemented (on the ground, rather than in OSM), if that is possible to ascertain?
