Tagging of a steel gutter inlet

In rural areas in Germany one will sometimes see such steel gutters embedded in the asphalt surface of tracks with a steep incline, made to collect rainwater running down the track and direct it into the ditch on one side of the track.

There is no established tag for these objects which are very similar to rain gutters attached to roofs, being some 10cm wide and deep as well. The only thing I could find was some short discussion on the talk:key:inlet page ending without result.

My intention is to map it as

inlet=gutter
gutter=open
material=steel
width=0.1

and connect it directly to the ditch on the opposite site of the track. Any better idea?
