How to tag - Flexible Bollard Cycle Barrier?

Help and support

How would you tag this? It seems to be a cycle barrier shaped out of flexible bollards.

I tried to look on Overpass turbo and taginfo for any similar things, there are 243 instances of cycle_barrier combined with bollard, but I checked a few on streetview and didn’t find any matches.

There is one combination of cycle_barrier and bollard=flexible but unless the streetview image is outdated, which it seems it isn’t, it’s not what i’m looking for.

There is one instance of cycle_barrier=bollard but I couldn’t see it on streetview.

In any case I don’t think that would fit, I would rather think to tag it as cycle_barrier:installation=bollard + bollard=flexible.

They are bollards but they are place in order to have a cycle barrier. Only the black one in the front is a real bollard from OSM point of view. A bollard filters out vehicles which are too wide. A cycle barrier tries to slow down cyclist or force them to dismount a choose a different route depending on the opening width and spacing of the barrier.

The black bollard: barrier=bollard + material=metal + colour=black + bollard_type=*

The other ones: barrier=cycle_barrier + cycle_barrier=double + material=plastic + spacing=* + opening=* + overlap=* + cycle_barrier:installation=fixed.

I would tag them all as bollards, with the white/orange ones as two rows:

A row of bollards can be mapped as a way way, also tagged barrier=bollard.

I use cycle_barrier:structure=bollard
It’s mismatched to use cycle_barrier:installation=bollard

This is exactly what I was wondering if there’s a tag like this!

Of course as Nakaner said I will tag it with all the usual metrics but I thought it wouldn’t be enough to just tag it with material=plastic.

I was thinking about doing this for a while also but eventually I figured the main purpose is a cycle barrier so I should tag it as so.
