and works extremely well. For the guideposts we have<br>
destination relations. I strongly recommend to do exactly the same for<br>
cycling/hiking. Invent a new tag bike_way=primary/secondary/whatever<br>
and pedestrian_way=primary/secondary/whatever and put that on the<br>
roads where the basic network goes over. Use the existing destination<br>
relations for the guideposts and you have everything in your infrastructure<br>
that you need.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think something like this would serve the routing and rendering purposes with less mapping effort and less (pre)processing. </div><div>But it would be sort of the same as the OP mentioned before: they tagged lcn=yes on the ways, and moved from there to route relations containing all the designated "bike_ways". </div></div></div>
