A
turnstile (also called baffle gate) is used to allow one person at a time to pass. Use this for small turnstiles like the ones in supermarkets or some subways (see also amenity=ticket_validator).
How to map
Simply add the tag barrier= to the node where the stile is located.
Where there is a turnstile where a footpath and a road join, do not place a stile at the junction, but at a node on the footpath:
Ticket barriers
Also used for tagging some doors/gates/barriers where you validate your ticket, see Tag:railway=subway_entrance.
