<div dir="ltr">There are very good arguments for both sides of this discussion. Is there a wiki article where both views are really confronted with all the arguments?

In the past some of the separate cycleways I had mapped have been deleted in favor of attributes on the road. The latter is an inferior representation (IMHO) because:<br><br>1. it makes it harder to add more attributes to the cycleway (including maxspeed, surface, turn restrictions, width, access restrictions)<br><br>2. it makes it unclear or at least much more error prone to determine which attributes of the road also belong to the cycleway (and vice versa)<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">3. it removes the geometric details (position, shape, unclear position of things between (or not) the cycleway and the road like grass, guard rails, telephone booths, poles, crossings between driveways, etc.)<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Therefore I believe we should recommend that fixing duplicates as of this thread should be done by removing the attribute cycleway=track, not deleting the highway=cycleway.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Cheers,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Martin<br></div></div>
