How to map loading docks?

Posted by Edolis on 9 May 2011 in English.

Hi there,
I'd like to map loading docks (i.e. places where trucks deliver/collect material) in a large industrial premises (the goal is mapping the area defined as dock and its name). Is there any icon I can use for that? I cannot fine any 'warehouse dock' one.

Thanks!

You COULD do

If a row of doors (for each door);
barrier=entrance
ref=(number of the gate)
hgv=yes
goods=yes
motorcar=no
access=delivery (perhaps customers)

If its an outside flat raised dock I'd probably do (for the area of the dock)
highway=pedestrian
area=yes

thanks.. sounds good - I will try with the first option.
Is there any process to create a new specific kind of barrier?
Just a curiosity...
