Talk:Key:emergency telephone code

Wrong definition

I believe the provided definition is wrong. This key seems to represent a code that you give to the operator after calling a emergency:phone=* line. In return, the operator can give you an access code for an emergency equipment, such as a defibrillator, or can despatch an emergency response team to the location associated with the code. I suggest changing the contents to something along the lines of:

> This tag is used to associate an emergency, location, or object code, that should be provided when contacting an emergency:phone=* line. This code could be used by the emergency response teams for pinpointing the emergency location, or for giving access codes to an emergency equipment, such as a defibrillator.

Please let me know if I am misinterpreting the purpose of this tag. --Hocu (talk) 13:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Difference to emergency_access_point?

What is intended to be the difference between this and highway=emergency_access_point? It's probably worth explaining in wiki text. (To me, a non-expert, they seem to be the same thing? How can mappers distinguish between them when mapping?) --Jarek Piórkowski (talk) 04:22, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Reading the text again: "a telephone number to be called in case of emergencies, with an object". So for the sample photo given (File:Danish rescue sign E 432.jpg), would the tag be emergency_telephone_code=112? And perhaps highway=emergency_access_point + ref=E 432 on the same node? Given the photo, I took the tag to be about the E 432, not the 112, but maybe that was wrong? --Jarek Piórkowski (talk) 04:25, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
