Looking at your first example in the changeset comment, I wonder if <br>
there is a violation of "name is only the name" here. "Harvest Ride <br>
cycle path", on the pavement of "Harvest Ride", sounds more like a <br>
description than a properly signposted name.<br>
<br>
(My personal feeling is that, whilst I wouldn't change an existing one, <br>
I think mapping cycle tracks and sidewalks separately generates a lot of <br>
clutter and also artefacts, because of the need to connect them to the <br>
associated road, for routing.)<br>
