Dear All,

at the enlargement of the Schengen Area with Romania and Bulgaria there was a brief discussion in the Hungarian community, we stated that most of the border crossings were already missing anyway, and no one had problems with it and no one had the intention to redraw them.

Obviously, I can't find all the changesets from the last several years, I just know that when I have seen them the first time, there were only few of them. So, you are right: it may be that they weren't there ever but I'd rather assume that, at least in the case of Hungary and Luxembourg, they were there, at least I have some memories (though I admint, I can't prove them). In the case of other countries, I don't know.

The changeset you cited is about three years old so I wouldn't state it 'recent'. ;-)

Of course, the may be barriers at border crossing point but then we can be more precies (bollards or whatever).

Moreover re-introducton of border control between Schengen countries is a temporary measure. To map temporary measures is not a best practice:

(The wiki gives a time span of some weeks but I think that is very short. I don't think we can assume to follow all the changes of EU countries' border crossing measures.)

Nevertheless, I don't mind if you draw all the border crossings around your countries. We can perhaps give it an access=yes tag and then it, hopefully, won't disturb routing engines but the possibility is there to make it stricter.

Another question is what to do with those roads crossing the border without any border crossing facility, building or whatever.

Let's assume a country re-introduces border control > we tag it accordingly > routing engines may turn traffic to far-away roads in forests and so on because on those roads there is absolutely no border control...
