This page is intended as scratch-pad for highway related tags / keys / values : (tag: 'highway=construction' , key: 'highway' = value: 'construction')

Access=no + PSV=yes ; Access=yes + horse=no - based on forum post

Although the general access tag states 'no' or 'yes' regarding the legal right of access, it will be modified by the subsequent keys.

Highway=construction - based on forum post:

  • highway=construction : way is being built + no public access : diggers, pavers etc + signs / barriers ;
  • tag remains once construction completed but not yet open for public access ;
  • tag changes once open to public - even if way not fully finished ;
  • temporary closures (under 6 months) not tagged as construction, can be tagged surface=* and/or access=*
  • temporary ways for construction traffic : highway=service + access=...
