[Talk-ca] Rendering rules and tagging paths and hard shoulders for cycles

[john whelan]

I realise there is some differences of opinion on this but I'm looking
for guidance.  Locally we seem to have a number of these tagged in
different ways.  CANVEC appears to tag some of them as highway=footway

wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Paths seems to have a wide range of
acceptable options, including bicycle=designated, bicycle=yes,
access=bicycle etc.

What is recommended for multi-use paths where cycling is permitted but
pedestrians have priority?

highway=path

highway=path
bicycle=yes perhaps?

Do we care that some are used as ski trails in winter?  Does this
suggest dec-march ski april-nov cycle?

Ontario is planning to increase paved hard shoulders to promote cycle
safety.  Quebec I think already has many of these.

paved_shoulder=yes
shoulder:access:bicycle=yes

Has been recommended, any suggestions on rendering rules?

Thanks John
