Hi Snake Skin
There's an expression in OSM: 'Don't tag incorrectly to suit the renderer'.
For accuracyIf a KG is a KG then it should be tagged as such. If you wish an item to be visible in a specific render you should contact the person creating the tiles.
Cheers

Why don't kissing gates or stiles show up on OSM? What I mean is when you zoom right it will tell you if you hover the mouse over the node but not as a symbol on the map like gates. It would be very usefull for anybody on a bike knowing if there is a ton of stiles or kissing gates to leave bike and walk the route. This has happened to me in the past and it was a nightmare lifting my bike over a ton of kissing gates. They don't show on the Geocaching website and that is the same map I use on my phone.
I have stopped doing that now but why can't there be a symbol displayed like gates on OSM?

Sorry for the delayed reply.
OSM is a database. Lot's of different rendering are mad from this one source. It allows map creators to add relevent data & ignore what the don't want.What's now described as the 'standard' map ie the mapnik rendering unfortunately doesn't render all barriers. It would be good if it did. You can lobby your case for it here: Grumpy Cat

Looks like geocaching.com (if that's what you're talking about) offer lots of different background styles, but don't host any themselves, so you'd just have to lobby for one of those to support it; not necessarily openstreetmap-carto.

Just for info, I've just added a separate "kissing_gate" icon to https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/openstreetmap-carto-AJT (that's a style that other people can use if they want to). See https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L877 for which gate types are shown as gates and which as kissing_gates.
In OSM's "standard" style there's an open issue about displaying more barrier types https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/846 . -

Not really a comment on the mapping, or the rendering, but if a PROW has stiles or kissing gates then it is a public footpath. You should not be taking a bike on such paths.

There's nothing to prevent someone pushing a bike; although a few walkers have disagreed with me.
