[Talk-GB] LCN - Local Cycle Network

[Kev js1982]

I've done a bulk of the Nottingham one (especially in the South and East)
and have generally followed the following rules (which others in the area
appear to have followed too)

1. If it's got NCN numbers it's NCN - From the last sign I continue it
until the next junction (e.g. NCN 15 is only signed  between Trent Bridge
and Wilford Suspension Bridge at the Trent Bridge end - I stop it at
Wilford Suspension bridge (Welbeck Road) -
http://osm.org/go/eu8aQ7KA?layers=C ).

2. If it's a "leisure route" crossing county boundaries it's RCN (Only one
so far - The Erewash Valley Trail which happens to be NCN in parts)

3. If it's a "leisure route" within Nottinghamshire it's LCN (Only one of
these at the moment - The Big Track) - never too sure if this should be LCN
or RCN though!

4. If it's got signed destinations it's LCN - however none of these have
names except one "Follow (green diamond) To New Basford Avoiding Tram
Tracks" and "Follow (green diamond) To City Avoiding Tram Tracks" - Trying
to give these names (of the destination) would be a pain and leave a right
mess on the rendering (e.g. a stretch of road in one way relations for each
of :- City Centre, Meadows, Lady Bay, Vale of Belvoir, Holme Pierpont,
Cotgrave, Basingfield (via A52 Crossing), Gamston, and NCN 15!...), but
should we actually be trying to record these?

5. Anything else is just bicycle=yes, any paths with cycle signs are
"highway=cycleway; foot=yes"
