Seasonal traffic restrictions

General talk
1

I see for some tracks that temporary traffic restriction orders are recorded:

<tag k="motor_vehicle" v="designated"/>
<tag k="note:motor_vehicle" v="restrictions apply at certain times of the year"/>

I’m wondering if there’s a way of finding the dates or conditions of those restrictions?

I’m a member of the Trail Rider’s Fellowship, and we’re interested in what lanes may be ridden, at any particular time of year. The data is there it appears, and even the TRO numbers, but they’re buried or not in a uniform format.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

As usually, if there is no standard, create one.

My suggestion:


<tag k="motor_vehicle" v="designated"/>
<tag k="motor_vehicle:designated" v="opening_times"/>

opening times is multi value and sticks to the standard opening_times format

Therefore,


<tag k="motor_vehicle" v="designated"/>

would equal


<tag k="motor_vehicle:designated" v="yes"/>

What do you think about it?

Are you asking how to extract them from the OSM database (provided they have been entered) or how to find them in external sources?

There already is a standard for this, called “Conditional restrictions”:
