Legal access restriction for agricultural motor vehicles (e.g., tractors) that may have additional restrictions (either technical or traffic rules when in public traffic such as a lower speed limit such as 25 or 40 km/h).

The scope of vehicles to which a prohibitory or regulatory traffic sign depicting an agricultural tractor applies varies from country to country. It may or may not apply to e.g. "microcars" with a limited maximum speed (legally sometimes a form of moped=*). This leads to different interpretations between mappers in OSM and discussion if this access rule does affect only "agricultural motor vehicles" or all "slow vehicles" in general.

  • agricultural=no (and other *=no depending on the country)

  • agricultural=designated (and other *=no depending on the country)
    =designated (and other *=no depending on the country)

Possible tagging mistakes

not =yes or access=agricultural but access=private

A closed farmer's access track is not =yes or access=agricultural but access=private, since the track is not open to (a) anyone that happens to drive a tractor or (b) a neighboring farmer that might want to use this road to have a shorter route to reach his land for farming (unless specific arrangements are in order, but those must be verifiable when using for OSM).

not =yes but vehicle=agricultural

Additional signs that form an exception to the prohibitory traffic sign such as these do not refer to the technical class of agricultural tractors as meant by =*, but to current agricultural usage of the road, which might also be performed by other types of vehicles such as a motorcar , for instance when professionally attending to beehives. In this case use vehicle=agricultural

Possible synonyms

  • agriculture=*
