Kurviger is reluctant to route through the shared space (Begegnungszone) in Hittisau: > **[Hittisau](https://kurviger.com/de/plan?point=47.458619%2C9.952258&point=47.4577%2C9.95964&shaping.1=true&padr.1=%206952%20Hittisau%20Vorarlberg%20%C3%96sterreich&point=47.457667%2C9.960061&shaping.2=true&padr.2=%206952%20Hittisau%20Vorarlberg%20%C3%96sterreich&point=47.45762%2C9.96035&shaping.3=true&padr.3=%206952%20Hittisau%20Vorarlberg%20%C3%96sterreich&point=47.4573%2C9.9617&shaping.4=true&padr.4=Platz%20343%2C%206952%20Hittisau%20Vorarlberg%20%C3%96sterreich&point=47.45663%2C9.98009&padr.5=%206952%20Hittisau%20Vorarlberg%20%C3%96sterreich&weighting=fastest&details=route_information&details=tomtom_incident&details=max_speed&details=street_name&avoid_unpaved_roads=true&document_title=Hittisau&avoid_small_roads=true&avoid_small_roads_factor=5&route_collection_id=QAJ6OB2O1V6BZPBByLir&route_id=QDepxj0nMD7J0oBlaXpG)** > > Entfernung 2.16km | Dauer 5min | Höhe ↗ 49m ↘ 23m 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). ![Screenshot_20260920-075140](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/5/95632ff6bd42da51afb758d3009d8ef532a4263e.jpeg) 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. File: [Kurviger – Motorcycle Route Planner & Navigation](https://kurv.gr/bJVeC) Thanks for your help.

Hittisau is already known .. [Routing durch "Begegnungszone" (Österreich)](https://forum.kurviger.com/t/routing-durch-begegnungszone-osterreich/27560) 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. ?! @dermartl - Place two vias directly on the traffic-calmed zone. Or Beeline, as you did. [Kurviger – Motorcycle Route Planner & Navigation](https://kurv.gr/LhTq9) ---

It works with „curvy“ and „extra curvy“: ![2026-11-04 19_21_56-WhatsApp](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/f/6f4bcec2ddc734fc454ecaa58a48e434f0038cc2.jpeg) And then there’s a funny reason for the „Potentially banned“: ![2026-11-04 19_24_08-WhatsApp](https://forum.kurviger.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/5/8504bb368328a3499f66b0f32db0da7c91543246.jpeg) ---

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.. ---

> [@Toffel](#): > > I suspect that bicycle=yes and vehicle=yes are leading to the little issue. 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. ---

Everything is correct, but because of the driving job I also have to get there 😮 ---

* * * > [@Klaus-Peter](#): > > Maybe it needs to be tagged like in the image? 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. ---

However, the router is a bit schizophrenic here: in “Curvy” mode, it routes straight through: > **[Hittisau](https://kurviger.com/de/plan?point=47.458118%2C9.950477&point=47.45663%2C9.98009&padr.1=%206952%20Hittisau%20Vorarlberg%20%C3%96sterreich&details=route_information&details=tomtom_incident&details=max_speed&details=street_name&avoid_unpaved_roads=true&document_title=Hittisau&route_collection_id=QAJ6OB2O1V6BZPBByLir&route_id=QDepxj0nMD7J0oBlaXpG)** > > Entfernung 2,31 km | Dauer 6 min | Höhe ↗ 51 m ↘ 26 m ---

> [@rumbrummer](#): > > schizophrenic A tertiary road connects directly to a living\_street. I find that unusual. I think those are the kinds of gaps in routing.
