[Talk-us] Using OSM for emergency routing?

[Ian Dees]

Hi all,

Has anyone used OSM for emergency routing with squad cars or ambulances?
I've found someone on reddit who is interested in loading their Garmin with
routable data so they can more-quickly get to their destination. Apparently
their jurisdiction doesn't have that information available to them (and the
dispatchers don't always, either).

Are there any existing tags to specify "emergency-only" roads? How about
routers that take into account emergency turnarounds, service roads, passing
through stop lights and signs, etc.?
