Access values are used to describe the legal access for various facilities.
This tag applies to objects for which usage (with vehicles) is explicitly restricted to vehicles that are used at that moment for agricultural purposes only, not limited to the technical class of agricultural motor vehicles; e.g. tractors (
agricultural=*
) .
Note that access=agricultural
applies also to pedestrians unless overridden with foot=yes
- in a typical case using vehicle=agricultural
or motor_vehicle=agricultural
is far more likely to be correct.
If cyclists are allowed in general bicycle=yes
may be also needed.
Examples
access=agricultural
in combination withfoot=yes
andhorse=yes
.
Simple alternative:vehicle=agricultural
vehicle=agricultural
access=agricultural
in combination withbicycle=yes
,foot=yes
andhorse=yes
.
Simple alternative:motor_vehicle=agricultural
motor_vehicle=agricultural
In both cases driving a motorcar for professional tending of beehives is allowed, but driving an agricultural tractor
for the transport of building materials between villages is not. [1]
Possible tagging mistakes

agricultural=yes
or access=agricultural
but access=private
Note a closed farmer's access track would be access=private
rather than access=agricultural
unless the track is explicitly open to any vehicle used for agricultural purposes, e.g in a sign such as.
In the other case of a typical farmer's track with access=private
, the owner is free allow access to anyone with any vehicle and any purpose and to refuse access to other users with agricultural vehicles and/or purposes at will (unless specific arrangements are in order).
