Key:opening_hours

+/- opening_hours Description opening_hours describes when something is open or closed. Group Properties Element help Useful combination Implies Used combinations in World Australia/Oceania Europe (list) Asia (list) Central America (list) South America (list) Africa (list)

It is possible to enter opening hours for almost everything that has opening hours. Supermarkets and small convenience stores close in most countries at different times (even in the same city), in metropolitan areas there are often small shops open the whole night. Some pharmacies, gas stations, pubs and fast-food-restaurants are open 24/7. This is a very important information if you are looking for a certain facility at night.

How to Map

This is a property tag so it must go with a related tag e.g amenity=pharmacy, amenity=fuel, shop=convenience, amenity=biergarten, amenity=fast_food, amenity=library, amenity=parking, amenity=pub, amenity=restaurant, shop=supermarket, shop=bakery, or tourism=museum

Values

• before tagging ways see Key:access

There's a webtool called TimeDomain which helps to determine the values.

the general syntax for the value is: week we wd hh:mm-hh:mm (e.g.> week 25 Mo 08:30-20:00)

Rules

• consecutive hours [always needs open-close] separated by "-" · ( e.g.> 08:30-20:00 )
• consecutive weekdays open separated by "-" · ( e.g.> Mo-Fr )
• consecutive monthdays open separated by "-" · ( e.g.> Dec 20-26 ) or ( e.g.> Dec 20-Jan 06 )
• open with periodicity "n" within a range of consecutive monthdays, the range is followed by "/n" ( e.g.> 02-30/n )
• consecutive weeks open separated by "-" · ( e.g.> week 01-26 )
• open with periodicity "n" within a range of consecutive weeks, the range is followed by "/n" ( e.g.> week 02-52/n )
• a break on days separated by "," · ( e.g.> Mo,We,Fr )
• a break on hours separated by "," · ( e.g.> 08:30-14:00,16:30-20:00 )

• different hours on different days are separated by ";" ( e.g.> Mo 10:00-12:00,12:30-15:00; Tu-Fr 08:00-12:00,12:30-15:00; Sa 08:00-12:00 )

reads as: this opening hours for this days ; this opening hours for this days

• a weekday off will be tagged as "wd off" ( e.g.> Tu off )
• a range of weekdays off will be tagged as "wd-wd off" ( e.g.> Tu-Th off )
• a month off will be tagged as "mo off" ( e.g.> Aug off )
• a range of months off will be tagged as "mo-mo off" ( e.g.> Aug-Sep off )
• a monthday off will be tagged as "mo md off" ( e.g.> Dec 25 off )
• a range of monthdays off will be tagged as "mo md-md off" ( e.g.> Dec 24-26 off ) or "mo md - mo md off" ( e.g.> Dec 25-Jan 06 off )
• exceptions to a range of days, first the range then the exception (e.g.> Mo-Sa 10:00-20:00; Tu off ) or (e.g.> Mo-Sa 10:00-20:00; Tu 10:00-14:00 ) (this means these are not additions, for example Mo-Fr 08:00-12:30; We 14:00-17:00 means that on Wednesdays, the shop is only opened in the afternoons and not additionaly)
• if it is in the first or last day of a range then don´t use the exception rule, use the usual (e.g.> Mo-Fr 10:00-20:00; Sa 10:00-14:00 )
• non-consecitive or semi-consecutive days of the week will be tagged as wd[x] (eg Su[3] 09:00-12:00)

This is used to indicate the 3rd Sunday of the month from 9am to 12pm.

Use -1 to indicate the last day of the month, eg Aug Th[-1] means last Thursday in July.

Can use grouping, (eg Su[1,3,5] and Su[1-3])

• if hours are non stop some days then ( e.g.> 00:00-24:00 )
• if it is 24 hours 7 days a week it has a specific value : 24/7

this way it can render a specific icon.

• a special time value to mark the time the sun rises is: sunrise.
• a special time value to mark the time the sun sets is: sunset.
• a + behind a time means "from" or "open end" (e.g. Sa 22:00+)

Implementation

This is my second try on an implementation:

• formal specification
• online evaluation
• Maps showing nodes with opening_hours:
  • Germany (now opened, only nodes with errors)
  • Austria (now opened, only nodes with errors)
  • Switzerland (now opened, only nodes with errors)

Rendering

just in the case of opening_hours=24/7 it can be something like adding a 24 to the object icon.

rest of values have no rendering and should be accessed with context menu or alike.

Code

PHP code in SVN to parse opening_hours

Notes

1. ↑ ^{1.0 1.1} Values can be set as default. Default is a proposal for a default values system. This proposal can set default values such as maxspeed for areas (countries, states...) but also holidays periods. A country, a zone area can subscribe to a default containing such holidays definitions.
