[OSM-talk] Cycleway

[Etienne]

waterways and aeroways do not have a highway tag, so I don't think that
cycleway *needs* a highway tag.

Is this cycleway tag intended to be used in combination with a highway tag
where a road comprises of a vehicular lane and a cycle lane perhaps?

Is it better to have a way with two tags (highway=secondary, cycleway=lane)
or to have a two ways; one for the highway and one for the cycleway?

Some examples might make it clearer how these tags are intended to be used.
