Hi Alex,

a very interesting proposal. Pity that you worked on a local basis.
I am highly interested in this discussion, as I live and map in the
most-densely cycle-barriered city of the world (my guess): Berlin has
3 769 495 inhabitants and 537 barrier=cycle_barrier in OSM.  Padova has
some  207 757 inhabitants and 309 barier=cycle_barrier. So we beat you 10:1
without penalty shooting.
We have more variety in barrier construction lo have some existing taggong
practices (undocumented in the wiki). In particular, in Padova we have 149
“barrier=cycle_barrier and "barrier:type"=chicane” (your double and triple
cycle_barriers). In total there are 429 of these in Italy.
If you want to get an idea of what is on the ground in Padova, follow the
cycle paths in Mapillary.

Do you have any reference to the practical use of the tractrix approach?

Volker
