Just a couple of quick notes:<br>
<br>
* The cycle path section is a bit misleading as it stands. The tagging<br>
you have shown is for standalone paths (i.e. mapped separately from a<br>
road); the majority of cycle paths in the UK are on the side of a road<br>
and thus should be tagged something like<br>
"highway=<primary,secondary...<u></u>>, cycleway=track, segregated=yes/no".<br>
I've copied the relevant section onto my user page and altered it:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Spark" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.<u></u>org/wiki/User:Spark</a><br>
<br>
* I would prefer to see the 'UK Classic vs Global' stuff taken out -<br>
these are the *UK* guidelines and hence the best/commonest practice in<br>
the UK should be given.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Andy<br>

I should have read these tagging guides before. I have tried to map local cycle paths along the side of the road by creating a way parallel to the road and tagging it as a highway=cycleway. Do I understand from the above that it is better practice to simply add a cycleway=track tag to the main highway?<br>
<br>
My excuse for doing it via a separate way is that I was copying somebody else's practice and I could see that his way of doing it resulted in nice rendering on the Cycle Map which can be accessed from the main map page.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
