I found this kind of cycle barrier in Oldenburg right here:
There are 2-3 similar barriers in the same region.
Problem: there is no design specified in openstreetmap fitting for those. How can this be solved?
(I mean the list below "Types / designs of cycle barriers" here: Cycle barrier in OSM Wiki )
I would just map this as barrier=cycle_barrier AND cycle_barrier=single
My guess is that isn't a cycle barrier at all. For me it seems to be a special form of removable or foldable bollard for blocking two track vehicles but allows emergence vehicles to open them.
Thanks. Yeah, i thought about using bollard as description, too. It just also doesn't really fit the description. Bollards are apparently pillar-shaped obstacles only. Cycle barrier seems to fit best. Per definition also "single" seems to fit best here. I am still a bit bothered by the difference of the picture and scheme from what I would understand as "single cycle barrier", namely a single barrier. Maybe there could be two or even three options - two sided (path in the middle), one sided (path left or right) and center ( path left and right).
cycle_barrier=single seems the most suitable to me.
Hm! Description sounds fitting. But why does it say "single" when there are barriers on both sides in the picture and the schematic illustration?
I reckon single here means, the obstacle is a single line (seen from above). Compare to double and triple illustration where the obstacle is two or three "lines".
