How does CS handle situations where the mapper has put a default access=private then overriden with things like foot=designated or even foot=yes where it might be a “private” road in terms of being private for cars but has a public footpath over it so running/walking it is 100% fine.
Good example is Norrels Drive in what would be in Guildford city in the UK. The green dashed lines indicate public footpaths over what are residential Tarmac roads albeit with Private Road signs over them. No we can also debate the very conflicting access in OSM meaning either what you can physically do (locked barriers/gates or not) as opposed to “owns” the road.
This Norrels Drive OpenStreetMap
has this very messy access tags
My hunch here is that CS code is overriding foot=designated with access=private and excluding the road whereas I think it should be the other way round ?
So rather than trying to go and retag this to “suit” CS but probably upsetting the local mappers, what is the story here?
Think this should be one that CS includes as surely the point is what foot access it has. General private access does not make any sense here anyway really given it is a public path. Kind of implies the default is for vehicles only. Guess issue in s car you aren’t going to access it unless had business there but access is not physically restricted although there are private road signs. Think here best to remove the general access and put explicit entries for each type. Or the CS query is wrong. And yes Street Ferret does include some of these.
