Low-traffic neighbourhoods
(Redirected from Low-traffic neighborhoods)
Low-traffic neighborhoods are not mapped explicitly in OpenStreetMap as it is quite subjective.
But anything specific can be mapped, in particular:
- legal rules such as speed limits - with
maxspeed=*
- access restrictions using
access=*
,vehicle=*
,bicycle=*
,foot=*
,motor_vehicle=*
and other access tags- for example
vehicle=destination
+bicycle=yes
means that transit traffic is forbidden for all vehicles except bicycles
- for example
highway=living_street
is used for special streets where pedestrians have legal right of way and priority over vehicleshighway=pedestrian
is for streets where vehicle traffic is completely eliminated or extremely restrictedbarrier=*
is used for variety of barrierstraffic_calming=*
for variety of devices to reduce speed of vehiclestraffic_calming=bump
A short bump, with extent, in the direction of travel, of about 30 cm or shorter.traffic_calming=hump
Similar to a bump, but longer in direction of travel, with total length of usually 2–4 meters, generally with a continuously rounded shape.traffic_calming=table
A speed table used for encouraging traffic to drive slower. More gradual than speed humps and speed bumps.traffic_calming=island
An island is a small area that temporarily separates two different directions of traffic.- And more, see Key:traffic_calming for a listing of more documented values
