Status: in use

A military checkpoint is a permanent feature where access by civilian visitors and vehicles will be controlled by a military authority, such as at a point of entry to a restricted or secured area, or a checkpoint on a public highway within areas under military or paramilitary supervision.

How to map

Add the tag military=checkpoint to a node which is shared with a highway=* way, at the point where the access is controlled by a military authority.

This tag should be used for permanent or long-term checkpoints, not for temporary or mobile checkpoints which are not expected to remain for more than a month.
