[OSM-talk-be] Abandoned Railways / cycleways

[Ben Laenen]

No, highway and cycleway should not share any ways. The only thing which
may be acceptable is reusing the same nodes for two different ways, but
only if they are on exactly the same location, which is actually quite
rare. In quite a lot of cases there will be an offset, or it will diverge a
little bit from the original railway track.
