Hiya @Olivia Ragone. There’s been some discussion recently on https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/152889219 about the change of https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/262689051 from a stile to a gate, and the addition of locked=yes to it.

Even though it’s tagged as foot=designated, the addition of locked=yes means that software like Komoot no longer wants to route walkers along the path.

Is there still a stile next to the gate? Is the gate actually locked? I’m guessing the answer is yes to both, and the gate is locked to prevent vehicle access? If so, I wonder if the stile needs to be re-added to the map and a little path forked off the track, over the stile and joined up with the path on the north side again, to fix Komoot routing.

I worry there might be other cases like this where gates have (correctly) had locked=yes added to them, but this inadvertently breaks hiking routing.

Interested to hear your thoughts on it! I hope I haven’t misinterpreted the situation, though there’s a good chance I have. :)
