[Talk-dk] Foot rest boards for cyclists on traffic signals

[Jørgen Elgaard Larsen]

Hi Alex, 

Yes, they are common in Denmark - at least in Copenhagen. 

But I don't think they are mapped. I have looked at the map a few places
where I know they exists IRL, but and none of those were mapped. 

Personally, I wouldn't bother mapping them because as a cyclist, I find
them utterly useless. But of course, if anyone would like to map them,
they should feel free to do so. 

As for tagging, I would recommend for you to suggest a new tag for it on
the OSM wiki. I would propose barrier=cycle_footrail, to correspond with
barrier=handrail and barrier=cycle_barrier 

Kind regards, 

- Jørgen

Since I know that these boards/objects are very common in Denmark -- especially in Copenhagen -- and I just searched in vain for a tagging for it, I thought I could ask users in Denmark about it :)
