Summary

There are day_on=*, day_off=* etc. tags, but they are not flexible enough. Firstly they only turn on/off general access and secondly they only allow a single combination of days and hours. The syntax used for opening_hours=* appears to be much more suitable for this. Also there is no way to make single tags only active during a specified time.

Of course this is only for simple cases. Advanced access-restrictions or something like that probably need a more complex syntax or technique, as it is being developed on the Access restrictions proposal.

Tagging

• key=value (any key=value combination)
• key.time=time (specify the time in that the key=value combination above will apply)

It should probably be defined for what tags you should expect a time-parameter, since users of the data would have to check for it's existence all the time. Else there could be misunderstandings, like assuming a road is closed all the time, while it is only once a year. (Maybe there is a better solution for that?)

Examples

A time restricted parking area, but only on workdays from 8:00 to 18:00.

• amenity=parking
• maxstay=2 hours
• maxstay.time=Mo-Fr 08:00-18:00

A parking area with a fee, that allows free parking at night.

• amenity=parking
• fee=yes
• fee.time=Mo-Su 07:00-20:00

A residential street that is closed for cars on weekends (except destination traffic).

• highway=residential
• motorcar=destination
• motorcar.time=Sa-Su 00:00-24:00
