A ![[W]](/w/images/2/24/Wikipedia-16px.png "Wikipedia"){kind=small}
zip line is used to transport people or material down a inclined fixed rope or wire, typically without propulsion sliding down by gravity. There may be auxiliary wires for security or operation. This tag might be also used to tag Tyrolean traverses.
- For zip lines on playgrounds see also playground=zipwire.
How to map
Draw a way in the direction of travel and tag with aerialway=zip_line.
Zip lines imply oneway=yes by default but can be explicitly marked with oneway=no when the zip line is allowed in both directions.
Tags used in combination
- access=*
- foot=*
- fee=*
- opening_hours=*
- maxweight=*
- maxspeed=*
- incline=*
- duration=* or aerialway:duration=*
- aerialway:occupancy=*
In playgrounds
- leisure=playground or sport=climbing_adventure
- playground=* – see proposal for use as relation grouping playground elements together
- min_age=*, max_age=*
- attraction:minheight=*, attraction:maxheight=*, attraction:minheight:escorted=* - for example, attraction:minheight=120 or attraction:maxheight=195
In forestry and privately
- access=private/forestry/...
For goods
- foot=no – passengers explicitly forbidden
- usage=freight – used for freight; passengers or personnel may be allowed in some cases (+ foot=yes )
- usage=industrial – freight transport in industrial areas or mines
Examples
Forestry zip line used for downhill transport of logs:
Overlap with playground zip wires
There is no clear technical difference distinguishing playground zip wires and aerialway=zip_line, the same structure that is in a playground could be used to transport people across a river.
The information contained in playground=zipwire could be adequately described with aerialway=zip_line + max_age=* + leisure=playground + access restrictions and technical description but playground=zipwire is more compact and widespread for this purpose.
For zip lines in high rope courses or adventure parks aerialway=zip_line will often be better as it is important to specify min./max. age and access restrictions.
