Roads with restrictions

See the previous section to choose the highway=* tag value.

Picture Traffic Sign Tags Allowed Vehicles Description

No entry for motor vehicles with more than 2 wheels (not just motorcars!) and motorcycles with sidecars


Make sure that these signs are at both sides of the path. A single sign just means that you cannot enter the road from that direction, but you may well be able to enter the road from the other side (use motor_vehicle:forward=no or motor_vehicle:backward=no when the sign is only on one side of the path).

Paths

Picture Traffic Sign Tags Allowed Vehicles Description

none

Normal path without any signs. Cars aren't able to drive there (too narrow, or there's a barrier preventing access).

To distinguish between paved and unpaved paths, use surface=paved or surface=unpaved

Path where no vehicles are allowed.

No vehicles allowed, except bicycles.

No vehicles allowed, except bicycles and mopeds class A.

Too narrow for cars. Horses aren't allowed.

No entry for motor vehicles with more than 2 wheels and motorcycles.

No entry for all motor vehicles.

No entry for all motor vehicles and horses.

No entry for bicycles and mopeds (+ mofas and speed pedelecs)

No entry for mopeds (+ mofas and speed pedelecs)

Roads and paths signed with traffic sign F99a/F99b/F99c

Read me first

These signs are a special kind: they can be placed on roads and paths. The first thing you have to do then is decide whether you classify it as a path or a road.

These signs allow motorized traffic like cars to parcels next to the road. Of course, the road should be able to be used like this. If the sign is on a one meter wide path you know that cars can't go there and it's clear that it's a path. If there are houses along the road, it's wide enough and there are no barriers you know it's a road. But there are many cases in between.

As a first rule: if the width is less than needed to let a car pass, or when there are barriers blocking access to vehicles with the width of a car, then it's a path.

In the other cases:

  • F99c (which has the agricultural vehicle symbol) is a road
  • F99a and F99b (without the agricultural symbol) is a road if the road is used to get to buildings along that road (discard usage by maintainance vehicles). In all other cases it's a path.

If you have for example sign F99a on a residential road and you can only enter the road with a car from one direction, then the classification becomes path after the last house.

Roads are tagged with highway=unclassified for paved non-residential roads, highway=residential for paved residential roads and highway=track for unpaved roads.

Paths are tagged with highway=path.

Always add a traffic_sign=* tag with the correct traffic sign, an access tag for each symbol on the sign, and on roads an access=destination tag. Also add access=destination if you can access buildings from a path.

Final note: you may always encounter a road where these rules can't be applied, in that case just do the logical thing.

Roads

Picture Traffic Sign Tags Allowed Vehicles Description

You can enter the road with a car to go to the buildings next to it (no barriers and it's wide enough), so it's not a path.

Replaced Image:Belgium_road_reservedforagriculturalfootbicyclehorse_unpaved.jpg

Unpaved road reserved for agricultural vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and horse drivers.

Paths

Picture Traffic Sign Tags Allowed Vehicles Description

Road too small for a car.

Miscellaneous vehicle symbols

Traffic code allows that the signs for roads reserved for pedestrians, cyclists, horses and/or agricultural vehicles can be adapted to other vehicle types. Here are some examples:

File:Belgium-trafficsign-f99a foot bicycle moped.svg

Allows all mopeds as well. Barrier over the road so it's a path.

Footpaths, cycleways and bridleways as part of a road

Mostly has to be written still... But if you're tagging them separately you can use the same tags as above. Otherwise use for example cycleway=track with cycleway:moped=no.
