Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the area!

The OSM Wiki’s (flood_prone=*) definition of flood_prone as "mostly applicable to roads that go under water after heavy rains” seems to fit your scenario very well.

I appreciate your attention to detail here and thank you for your consideration.

Hello ftcat,

I can understand not mapping the riverbanks in this scenario. If you are confident there is no ford crossing infrastructure, and water may only impact the road after a seasonal heavy rain, what do you think of tagging the highway segment with flood_prone=yes instead of ford=yes, similar to first example on this wiki page: key:flood_prone. Alternatively, if the river/stream was modeled as a polygon up to the riverbanks, intermittent=yes could be used to better represent the size

Hello ftcat!

I made this change according to the OSM wiki. Under the ‘How to Map’ section, the first bullet point states to “use a single node ford where a highway crosses a waterway that is mapped as a linear stream without riverbanks”. How you usually tag fords is a more detailed method, but would also require the river banks to be mapped, according to the OSM Wiki.
