+# Local Rules and Liability
+
+## Principle
+
+Rules must be shown as advisory information with source, date, jurisdiction, confidence, and limits.
+
+Do not claim legal certainty unless the rule comes from a current official source and the geographic/jurisdiction match is clear.
+
+## Rule categories
+
+- cycling access,
+- trail access,
+- private land,
+- protected area,
+- wild camping,
+- bivouac,
+- fire bans,
+- e-bike access/class,
+- ferry/border constraints,
+- seasonal closures,
+- hunting/forestry closures,
+- drone restrictions if relevant.
+
+## Confidence states
+
+- `known_allowed`,
+- `known_restricted`,
+- `seasonal_or_conditional`,
+- `likely_allowed`,
+- `likely_restricted`,
+- `unclear`,
+- `conflicting_sources`,
+- `needs_local_confirmation`.
+
+## Source hierarchy
+
+Prefer:
+
+1. official authority datasets/pages,
+2. protected-area authority pages,
+3. national/regional open data portals,
+4. OSM access tags,
+5. partner/local expert data,
+6. user reports.
+
+## User-facing copy examples
+
+### Access warning
+
+```text
+Access uncertainty ahead
+This forest track has incomplete bicycle access data and crosses a protected-area boundary. Use caution and follow local signs.
+```
+
+### Camping warning
+
+```text
+Wild-camping rules unclear
+This area may restrict overnight camping outside designated sites. Prefer listed campsite/shelter options unless you have local permission.
+```
+
+### Seasonal closure
+
+```text
+Possible seasonal restriction
+This segment overlaps a protected area. Check local signs and current authority notices before entering.
+```
+
+## Liability mitigations
+
+- Show source and review date.
+- Show uncertainty.
+- Provide alternatives.
+- Let users report errors.
+- Avoid routing through known restricted/private segments by default.
+- Keep critical legal rules server-updatable.
+- Do not monetize illegal camping hints.
+- Moderate sensitive reports.
