<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the comments. I'll play it fair. I've just sent an email to the person that changed it even though I find it hard to believe that the next sentence was something many mappers would agree on.<br>

</div>Yeah, always play fair, but keep in mind that the edit should have been<br>
discussed priorly, too. This way, reverting and then discussing about<br>

even longer available.<br>

</div>This tag is not old enough to have changed already and only for certain<br>
situation in countries with compulsory cycleways.<br>
