Add rendering support for emergency=emergency_ward_entrance

[opk12]

emergency=emergency_ward_entrance (wiki link) does not appear on openstreetmap.org (no name and icon). Is this the right project to report to?

This is the correct project, yes.

This feature has about 1050 objects.
Keep in mind while designing a graphical solution that this feature should be a shared node with an entrance=yes/main.

Horrible tag IMO. Even with the approved proposal. I think it's horribleness is reflected in the fact that it was never adopted, despite the approval.

Entrance=emergency has 10,000 uses currently. Whereas, emergency=emergency_ward_entrance only has 1000. If emergency entrances are going to be render then it should be done by rendering entrance=emergency. Even if emergency=emergency_ward_entrance is approved.

The tag emergency=emergency_ward_entrance is for marking the entry into an Emergency Department (aka Emergency Room, ER, Emergency Ward) in a hospital, so it is not the same as entrance=emergency.

I guess that makes sense. The question is how many are being used for ER entrances. I find it hard to believe that there has only been a thousand of them mapped in the whole world and the entrance=emergency seems like the plausible alternative that people have been tagging them with. Although, I guess it's possible they just aren't being mapped. Especially since there isn't a preset for it in iD Editor, but I know in a lot of places in the world they don't call the ER a "ward." At could have at least been something like entrance=emergency_ward instead. It's rare there is a three word tag for anything. Especially one that repeats a word.

Perhaps this could just be rendered like an entrance=main, but in red and one zoom level sooner?

However, we would need to consider what to do about #3038 - most likely emergency=emergency_ward_entrance ought to be rendered in the amenity_points layer.

Have been wondering about this while looking at hospitals recently. Currently, most emergency wards seem to be mapped (incorrectly) with a second hospital tag, named "Emergency Ward" :-(

I was wondering about copying the hospital icon of a white cross on a red circle, but instead having just an E, which would render at the same zoom as the hospital itself?
