[GraphHopper] Bike way type conversion

[Stuart Adam]

Hello all

I am starting to look at bike routing and I note in the handleBikeRelated method in BikeCommonFlagEncoder the following logic applies.

 if (way.hasTag("bicycle", intendedValues))
        {
            if (isPusingSection && !way.hasTag("bicycle", "designated"))
                wayType = WayType.OTHER_SMALL_WAY;
            else
                wayType = WayType.CYCLEWAY;
        } else if ("cycleway".equals(highway))
            wayType = WayType.CYCLEWAY;
        else if (roadValues.contains(highway))
            wayType = WayType.ROAD;


This does not seem correct to me as from my understanding this is taking the fact that a way has been marked as having a right of way for bicycles (but not a pushing section) then it is a full blown cyclepath.  In my mind at least cycleway implies dedicated and marked (normally with differently coloured tarmac) sections which is a much stronger indication for cycle use than just a bicycle right of way.


Am I correct and if so should this be changed or was there a reason for this decision in Graphhopper.

Sincerely
Stuart Adam
