(Proposal was moved here from Proposed features/Access only)

Rationale

In Germany, a lot of tracks are marked as "No vehicles, except agricultural vehicles" or "No motor vehicles, except agricultural vehicles". (Most of them are also allowed for bicycles)

"Except agricultural vehicles"	<tag k="access" v="agricultural"/>	No vehicles, except agricultural vehicles
"No motor vehicles" - "Except agricultural vehicles"	<tag k="motorcar" v="agricultural"/>	No motor vehicles, except agricultural vehicles

Applies to

Ways

Tags

A service road where only agricultural vehicles are allowed:

<tag k="highway" v="service" />
<tag k="access" v="agricultural" />

alternative proposal ("agricultural" as a type of vehicle):

<tag k="access" v="no" />
<tag k="agricultural" v="yes" />

• IMO, this is an abuse of the access tag; "agricultural" is not a type of access, it is a type of vehicle. (like we have bicycle=, motorcycle=, hgv=, etc. Also, see the Proposed features/access: name space proposal. --Hawke 18:46, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
