Describe the idea

The idea is to supplement route planning

Navigation - Settings - Avoid roads - :

No roads with animal ban ( tag ‘animal=no’ )
or
No roads with a dog ban ( tag ‘dog=no’ )

Expected behaviour

In many tourist areas, especially in landscape parks or national parks, hiking in the company of your own animals, especially dogs, is restricted to special paths or territories. Only a few pet owners are aware of these restrictions, which are not always clearly signposted on site. In some cases, disregarding these restrictions out of ignorance can lead to heavy fines or, in the worst case, be fatal in areas with a high bear density. It would be a very good option to be able to take the carrying of animals/dogs into account when planning routes in order to be able to exclude the routes that are prohibited for them.

Alternatives you've considered

I have not found any alternatives.

Context

Since 2024, there have been many paths and mountain trails on the Sclovak side of the High Tatras that have been closed to dogs/accompanying animals. I will tag the closures as soon as possible, as this has not yet been done.
Tourism with dogs is very high worldwide (including in Slovakia). Most tourists are unaware of the new regulations in the High Tatras. In other regions too, paths that are closed to animals are not always clearly signposted on site.
Unfortunately, there is no option in OsmAnd to take these restrictions, which exist worldwide, into account when planning your route.
