Denotes that access is restricted to persons of the male sex or gender or that services are provided to people of such gender. According to the context, it can be used as an access tag following the same rules as those described in access=*, or it can express that a service is available to persons of the male gender.
Usage
Use this tag in combination with other tags, most frequently in combination with shop=hairdresser and amenity=toilets.
It's probably best to express this type of access as male=yes and let the implications take care of other sexes/genders since the number is not guaranteed to be exactly two across all cultures. It's also faster to tag in this way.
Implications
A value other than no is interpreted as yes, and implies no for all other unspecified gender-based access tags unless overridden by adding more access role tags.
