+### Profiles for Country differences
+Some countries have differing access rules for different transport types. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions). Profiles countrycar, countrybicycle and countryfoot may be used as starting points for country support. Country Specific location data (geojson geometry) should be provided to the osrm-extract for example:
+
+osrm-extract --profile ../profiles/countryfoot.lua --location-dependent-data ../data/osmb.geojson
+osrm-extract --profile ../profiles/countrybicycle.lua --location-dependent-data ../mygeojson/Netherlands.geojson

 ## Processing flow
 It's important to understand that profiles are used when preprocessing the OSM data, NOT at query time when routes are computed.
