It is not possible to distinguish between other possible values as surveyed. Surveying a more precise value is important. |
fee=* should contain a (default) value that applies when no condition does.
Conditional restrictions syntax may be used in fee:conditional=* for more complex rules.
For example:
- fee=yes + fee:conditional=no @ customers - to mark that fee is waived for customers
- fee=no + fee:conditional=yes @ (08:00-08:20) - to mark something as free, except between 8:00 and 8:20
- fee=yes + fee:conditional=no @ We - paid, but free on Wednesdays
- fee=no + fee:conditional=yes @ (stay > 2 hours) - parking with stay up to two hours free[1]
- fee=yes + fee:conditional=no @ (stay < 2 hours) - also, parking with stay up to two hours free (difference is what will be a default value, used by data consumers not supporting conditional restrictions)
- fee=yes + fee:conditional=no @ (age < 12) - to mark something as free for children under the age of 12.
fee:disabled=* is also available to directly specify whether a fee applies to handicapped users; e.g., where a fee is waived for them.
Common tagging mistakes
Time when a fee is charged as a value of fee=*
Example: fee=Mo-Fr 08:00-17:00
Using opening_hours=*-style date/time ranges as a value of fee=* to specify when a fee is applicable is a somewhat common mistake. When a fee is only applicable some of the time, use fee:conditional=*, as noted above.
When you encounter a value like fee=Mo-Fr 08:00-17:00 and wish to use the correct syntax, one strategy is to replace it with fee=no and fee:conditional=yes @ (Mo-Fr 08:00-17:00).
Fee amount as a value of fee=*
Example: fee=$10
Use charge=* (in this example, that would be charge=10.00 USD), with fee=yes.
