Besides always non-drivable road types it is also possible to define a road as sometimes drivable via [[Restrictions|restrictions]], time based restrictions or vehicle type based restrictions.<br />
 
===Not or not always drivable===
We often get the question "how do we map non-drivable or restricted access roads?" In the table below you will see what to do in every situation.<br />

And besides non-drivable and sometimes drivable there is also a [[Road types|road type]] for not (always) allowed to drive: the [[Private road]].

Non-drivable roads

The non-drivable road types are:


Non-drivable roads like walking trails and pedestrian boardwalks shouldn't be added, unless there is a good reason. Check the Wiki pages on these road types: Non-drivable roads and Non-drivable roads.

Not or not always drivable

We often get the question "how do we map non-drivable or restricted access roads?" In the table below you will see what to do in every situation.

Road typeDescription
Non-drivable roadsNot able to drive with a vehicle
Possible destination along the segment
Non-drivable roadsNot able to drive with a vehicle
Does not have any destinations along the segment
Private roadAble to drive with a vehicle
Not always allowed to drive with a car
Street with restrictionAccess restricted for certain vehicle types
Access restricted for certain hours of the day


Walking Trail or Pedestrian Boardwalk

Destination
If a footpath leads from a normal road to a Walking Trail, but this path has no destinations / house numbers, should it be defined as PB or is a PB skipped in the routing and should we take WT without house numbers?
Best use a WT, see picture below.



Public transport
The previous standard "Use Walking trails for public transport" is changed into "use Non-drivable roads for public transport". because both non-drivable roadtypes have now a fix. Preference for PB because public transport lanes shouldn’t have (by accident) destinations.
