This tag is semantically confusing and should not be used. It was previously used for two different purposes:
- On a
way to indicate a flexible barrier on water. Use waterway=floating_barrierinstead. - More rarely, it was used on a
node to indicate a lift-gate across a highway or path. This was because in some dialects, a lifting road barrier is called a boom barrier. Use barrier=lift_gateinstead.
