tag to the existing way. Both methods each have their pros and cons.
Notably, a separately tagged cycleway generally allows to capture more
detail, while adding a single tag to an existing way takes much less
time and in many cases can be as accurate. Both methods are in use
today, and there is discussion about when to prefer which method."</span><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">StijnRR<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div></div></body></html>
