Dear community,
as possibly you are aware, the river elbe is not shippable in the region of Dresden because of the collapse of the “Carola bridge” anymore. I am not a specialist in waterway mapping, so I would like to ask you for help.
I already asked local mappers per hint (Note: 4432788 | OpenStreetMap) for support and got detailed information of the extent of the restrictions. Maybe anyone of the community has experience in tagging of random closure of shipment in particular areas of waterways. As so, please support my enquiry.
best regards
At the moment boat=yes is tagged in the entire section. This could be changed to boat=no at the appropriate place. However, I would make this dependent on how long the section is closed. Commercial shipping usually navigates with a Garmin device, the nautical charts there are only updated once or twice a year at most. The route can probably be used again before the closure appears in the chart data on the Garmin device.
In my view, a constructive discussion is already underway in the OSM note, which is why I am hesitant to create a parallel universe here.
