Usage
- See also Aerialway
Used for various forms of transport for passengers and goods that use wires, including cable-cars, chair-lifts and drag-lifts. See WikiProject Piste Maps and Proposed features/Piste Maps for more details.
Private use (forestry, agriculture..) aerialways can be tagged with access=private/forestry/...
and other access=*
restrictions.
Aerialways used for transport of goods could be mapped with foot=no
. For extra detail add one of usage=industrial
(industrial/mining aerialways) or usage=freight
. Some freight/industrial aerialways may allow passengers, those might be tagged with foot=yes
, foot=private
, foot=forestry
or similar.
Rendering
OSM Carto shows ski lifts. Example for Hoch-Ybrig.
OpenStreetMap Americana shows a variety of aerialways (not just ski lifts), for example in Breckenridge, Colorado, and La Paz, Bolivia.
