How to Map
On a node
Simply add the tag barrier=gate to the node or way where the gate is.
This can be placed on a linear barrier, in the intersection node of a linear barrier and a highway way, or at a highway way node.
Avoid tagging highway intersections as that does not make clear which way has the impediment.
On a way
Tag a way with barrier=gate on the real position and width of the gate.
- Example (in JOSM editor):
Correct: gate near the intersection of a path (dotted green) and a highway (grey).
Correct: gate on the intersection of a path (dotted green) and a wall (yellow).
Incorrect: gate on the intersection of a path (dotted green) and a highway (grey).
Example:
Based on the location below, the gate node should be the end of a way. A new way starts with the gate node and it should have the access set to private if the access is restricted.
