  • maxwidth=* tags the legal restriction as indicated on signage. maxwidth=* and maxwidth:physical=* can be used on the same way; the latter usually having a larger value.
  • width=* tags the actual width of the way's surface.
  • opening=*, spacing=* and overlap=* for more detailed information on entrances, cycle barriers and the like.
    • open=* is handy to specify that a barrier (like barrier=gate or indoor=door) is always open to some extent, where opening=* is used to record the maximum width something can be to fit through the opening, whereas maxwidth:physical=* is used to record the maximum width something can be when the barrier is open fully.
