highway=ford
does not currently appear in OSM. It was marked as fully deprecated on its wiki page in 2021.It seems that
highway=ford
went out of fashion since people were using it on ways and it conflicted with the primaryhighway
tag value. However, I don't think there's really any reason forford
to be a top-level tag. I'd like to experiment with using the tag on nodes in a similar manner tohighway=crossing
, and if this seems useful, then make a tagging proposal. I'd appreciate if the iD validator didn't flag an error during these experiments lol.
