OSM tags to support non-standard HPV routing

[atlas_shrugged]

An earlier topic requested gpx routes which supported trikes. HPVs are even more varied than just trikes so this thread is intended to document OSM tags that can be used to aid and support the routing of non-standard HPVs.

Tag Description
width Maximum practical width of vehicle e.g. width= 2.4 m
height Maximum practical height of vehicle e.g. height= 1.2 m

There are some additional restrictions to cater for but I do not know the relevant tag. I will describe the restriction (possibly with the wrong name) i.e. this is not a suggested OSM tag name. Additional vehicle restrictions:

turning_circle_radius
clearance, wheel_base_separation, front_wheel_to_front_distance, rear_wheel_to_back_distance -- this to prevent grounding
Surface_type -- if it is gravel this might be a barrier

I've not used this before.

clearance, wheel_base_separation, front_wheel_to_front_distance, rear_wheel_to_back_distance -- this to prevent grounding

This is more difficult. I'm not sure how to map these. Searching for grounding finds things to do with power cables.

Surface_type -- if it is gravel this might be a barrier

I often add these because they make a big difference to my riding and the tags are either obvious or subjective.

I’d look for steps (count and height) grounding is *so* varied as to be virtually impossible to document.
