Kurviger is reluctant to route through the shared space (Begegnungszone) in Hittisau:
Yesterday, the router sent us down a road restricted to local residents only (we turned back, I tagged the road in OSM, so it shouldn’t happen tomorrow).
As far as I can see or my internet research shows, the tagging of the shared space is correct.
This is the main route to the Riedberg Pass - Kurviger should route through there.
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well and maybe someone knows why Kurviger is not routing through Hittisau. I just drove through there this year without any problems.

Thanks for your help.

I suspect that bicycle=yes and vehicle=yes is causing the little issue. First I’m not allowed to drive through, and then suddenly I am. Feels like a minor glitch in the evaluation.
According to the OSM Wiki, highway=living_street implies foot=yes and bicycle=yes. I think AT is no exception here. In that case, couldn’t both be removed? A path above has the same combination.
Traffic sign VZ260
Why shouldn’t you be able to route through a road that is for residents/access only (round red-bordered traffic sign with a car/motorcycle inside, additional sign “Anlieger frei” [residents/access only])?
I don’t know how tags work in OSM
I work part-time for a patient transport service. I often end up in rural areas where there are also agricultural businesses.
Things like this happen a lot there.
I know such access-only roads where you can ONLY reach some 10 isolated houses through this road.
Otherwise, you would NEVER get there..
The problem is the tagging. In Austria, there are „Begegnungszonen“ (shared spaces) and „Wohnstraßen“ (residential streets). Both are tagged as living_street in OSM. Through one you are allowed to drive, through the other you are not. We need to take a closer look at this topic to see if we can get it cleanly resolved.
Personally, I don’t see any errors in the current mapping. bicycle=yes doesn’t seem necessary to me, but it shouldn’t have any effect either.
Let’s give Robin a little time to investigate.
I was browsing the AT OSM forum a bit. It seems to me that our colleagues aren’t 100% happy either, but they are taking a pragmatic approach = all living_street and supplementary access restrictions. Basically and in terms of routing, virtually „standard“; in my little world.
