access=*
is used to describe the legal permission to travel through a barrier but does not indicate in emergencies what the physical access is.
For example it can be very important to know if a gate on a roadway is usually locked and hence can't be accessed easily without obtaining the key or unlocked and can easily be opened/closed.
How to map
locked=yes
The gate or barrier is usually locked and not accessible without the key.locked=no
The gate or barrier is usually unlocked and is accessible to anyone (may still need to manually open the gate).
A key does not need to be a traditional key, it could be a contactless card, swipe card, or a PIN code.
Conditional locks
locked:conditional=*
To specify a condition different to the default locked value per Conditional restrictions. eg.locked:conditional=yes @ (sunset-sunrise)
to say that the gate is locked at night, combined withlocked=no
to indicate usually unlocked during the day.- While there is some 3k+ usage of
opening_hours=*
in combination withlocked=*
,locked:conditional=*
is preferred due to its clear and non-conflicting meaning.
Examples
- A bicycle parking cage which requires a public transport card to open would be tagged
locked=yes
since you need a "key" in this case the swipe card to get inside.locked=yes
does not make any comment on how widespread or easily obtainable the key is, just that you need a key. - A
tourism=wilderness_hut
for which you first have to retrieve the key somewhere would be taggedlocked=yes
.
