Class I is the separated bike path, with a physical separation between the bicycle path and vehicle traffic, or on a route which other vehicle traffic doesn't follwo. This one is easy, you trace in the path, and make it highway=cycleway; cycleway=track. It's just the same as drawing in separate roads for divided roads.<br>
<br>
Class II is the bike lane with its own lane markings, but it is immediately adjacent the vehicle lanes. This also seems to be pretty clear: just add a cycleway=lane tag to the road it is part of, right?<br>
<br>
Class III is a "shared use" facility with the cars, it just has the green "bicycle route" signs occasionally. Hopefully it has a wide outside lane, but not always. How do you put this one in? do you add a bicycle=designated tag to the road, or what?<br>
