<x-tab> </x-tab>Yes, and
out west, where there are long lonely stretches of interstate, there seem
to be places where bicycle access is allowed. I am thinking of I-40 east
of Barslow, where another mapper (sorry, don't remember who) told me that
it was correct after I asked him about it.<br><br>

<dd>That would mean most freeways including interstates in the west, with
the exception of limited sections in the bay area, southwestern
California, central Portland and urban Seattle wouldn't be motorways, as
restricting pedestrians and bicycles is unusual in 34 states. <br><br>
</dl>I don't think Chris is suggesting that posted access restrictions
should be a sole criterion for tagging a highway as
"motorway."<br><br>
In Kansas, Signs indicating access restrictions are posted on the
on-ramps to interstates and some (but *not* all) non-interstate freeways.
K-10, for instance, has posted access restrictions on the Douglas County
segment, but not on the Johnson County segment. Both sections of K-10 in
question, however, are clearly freeway, and properly tagged as
"motorway" in OSM.<br><br>
Back to the question at hand (how to treat super-two facilities): While
KDOT *state* maps do not distinguish between 2-lane controlled access and
non-controlled access facilities (and, since 2010, the same applies to
non-interstate 4-lane facilities,) *county* level maps published after
2007 do show controlled-access facilities, regardless of the number of
lanes. Those county maps show US 169 between Chanute and Iola as a
controlled-access facility. Thus, it is properly tagged as motorway under
Chris's second suggestion ("If it has full access control, it's a
motorway. If not, it's not one.")<br>
