[talk-au] OpenStreetMap Wiki page Australian Tagging Guidelines has been changed by Aaronsta

[Sam Wilson]

I'm also a Perth cyclist, and I think I pretty much agree with what 
others have said. These routes should stay on the map if they're 
signposted on the ground, but other than that I think they're often not 
particularly great routes. I must admit that the cyclemap render now 
(since the removal of these routes) actually looks a lot more like my 
intuitive idea of what cycling looks like in Perth — i.e. there are some 
good purpose-made paths along the freeways, and other than that there's 
not much. With the official routes, it always looked like there was this 
amazing cross-cutting network of cycleways, and actually that's not 
really the case.
