Key:spacing

spacing=* indicates the distance between the elements of a multi-stage or chicane shaped barrier, like (motor) cycle barriers or kissing gates, to which the tag is added.

The value should be specified in metres (e.g. spacing=1.4) following the existing specification on tagging metric values like width values. If the distances between multiple barrier elements are different, only the smallest of these distances should be tagged since the smallest distance will determine the general passability (Example: If the first spacing on a triple-designed cycle barrier is 1.5 m and the second only 1.2 m, use spacing=1.2).

For simple types / designs of cycle barriers, simply specifying maxwidth:physical=* may be sufficient – see cycle_barrier=* for different designs and which tags should be combined.

opening=* and overlap=* could be a good addition.
