Status: deprecated

exclamation mark

This feature has been labeled as deprecated. The recommended replacement is: motorcar=*.
The reason is documented in Deprecated features. You are still free to continue to use or interpret this tag as you see fit since OpenStreetMap does not have “banned features”.
Under no circumstances should you (semi-)automatically change “deprecated” tags to something else in the database on a large scale without conforming to the automated edits code of conduct. Any such change will be reverted.

This tag was used mainly in connection with charging_station, with a value of yes or no to indicate whether the charging station was suitable for cars or not.

Sometimes this key was used as an Access tag, instead of motorcar=*.

However, the key motorcar=* is more common and it is recommended to use it, instead of this key.
