[talk-au] Australian Cycleways

[Ben Kelley]

I would have thought the routing should be based on the bicycle=yes (explicit or implied).

I've just put a lot of definitions on the wiki stolen from (and attributed to) 
the Australian Road Rules
concerning the various types of footpaths and bicycle paths and lanes

We have "Shared Path" to be tagged 'footway' with bicycle=yes

I'd like to suggest that a shared path has been designed for bicycle use with 
regard to width, surface, gradient, visibility requirements
and that tagging it as a 'cycleway' with foot=yes (exactly as a separated 
path) would be of assistance to routing software, which could otherwise send a 
cyclist down a road because the primary tag was 'footway'
