| |
|
|

| C3 | 
|
No entry, in both directions, for all drivers. | vehicle=no and horse=no
Also try to add the necessary tag when there is an exception sign. Please see Key:access for exceptions not listed below. |
|
|
Only destination traffic allowed. Horses, bicycles, pedestrians and bus are always allowed. | vehicle=destination, bicycle=yes, horse=yes, bus=yes and emergency=yes
| |
|
|
Only traffic of residents allowed (aangelanden) is a more strict limitation than destination traffic (plaatselijk verkeer / circulation locale), as it only allows people actually owning or renting property in that street, and not visitors or delivery traffic like with destination traffic. But at the moment, this difference is not yet expressed in OSM. Another difference with destination is that there are no exceptions defined (for example bicycle, horse,...) | vehicle=destination, horse=destination
| |
|
|
Variation of the above sign, with exceptions for permit holders and bicycles. | vehicle=destination, horse=destination, bicycle=yes
There is no consensus yet on how to tag access restriction based on permits. One way of tagging it would be by adding: | |
|
Only permit holders and delivery vehicles allowed. | vehicle=no, horse=no, vehicle:conditional=yes @ permit; yes @ delivery, horse:conditional=yes @ permit; yes @ delivery
| |
|
|

|
|
