Tag:aerialway=zip_line

A zip line is used to transport people or material down a inclined fixed rope or wire, typically without propulsion sliding down by gravity. The person should be secured with a climbing harness. There may be auxiliary wires for security or operation. This tag might be also used to tag Tyrolean traverses.

For zip lines on playgrounds see also playground=zipwire.

How to map

Draw a way in the direction of travel and tag with aerialway=zip_line.

Zip lines imply oneway=yes by default but can be explicitly marked with oneway=no when the zip line is allowed in both directions.
