While I mapped driveways years ago in my neighborhood, I didn’t include access tags. I saw that later someone added access=private tags, and I thought nothing of it assuming it was the correct tag. So now when I just mapped scores of them in the neighborhood additions, I just now had the thought to look on the wiki for the tag definition.

As said by the wiki, the definition of access=private:

Public access is not allowed. Access is granted with individual permission only. Examples: A driveway with a no trespassing or keep out sign; A company parking lot for employees only. “Individual permission” has been interpreted to also include delivery people making a delivery to a resident or drivers picking up a resident by request.

Most of that makes sense - but in the examples, why would it specify a driveway would need a “No Trespassing” or a “Keep Out” sign? Just wondering if I need to retag some driveways in line with common (or changing) practice, or at least having more confidence in tagging them correctly.

If I get into a project it’ll be mapping more houses (and pools and other things visible on aerial imagery) around me, likely towards penn valley.

Trying to detox from blacket these days, I’ll hopefully be mapping a ton more soon… and I’m probably through with obsessive note resolving for now.

No.

I have begun my main focus on adding addresses in Belmont Hills, but I will also continue my note resolving practice as well. However, I will be busy until about February with other things, so expect a slight dip in edits from here until then.
