[Tagging] Setting a preferred routing

[André Pirard]

Hi,

Wouldn't it be appropriate for this kind of discussion to ask
routing/GPS programmers like OSMand and Graphhopper etc. what they use
for route optimization and what else they would like to use, hence us to do.
I always say that the biggest routing problem (some people openly LOL at
OSM routing) is that taggers and wiki writers don't realize that it's a
matter of following the very strict, same rules in OSM as in the routers.
I'm disappointed to see basic misunderstanding show in tags like many
unnecessary bicycle=yes
or [OSM-talk-be] Missing oneway:bicycle=no 2017-02-14 17:33 where
oneway:bicycle
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:bicycle>=no, an
instruction to routers, is confused with Key:cycleway, the indication of
the presence of a cycleway.
The explanation of cycleway
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway>=opposite* and its
presence in the "access" page make believe that it's an access tag when
it's not (a cycle map confuses them and a friend tagged them both
everywhere where there is no cycleway).
I'm also disappointed that I, instead of the LOL above, have been called
sarcastic for saying things like this and help.

Cheers

André.
