[OSM-talk] Cycleway

[Barnett, Phillip]

See http://www.flickr.com/photos/oop/1257713/ for an example of a Dutch cyclepath, solo, going through open countryside, not sharing the same space as a road.

This is one that's going to take some time to fathom out the best method of tagging. Cycleways on the whole have come about in recent times and therefore share the physical space with other ways, crisscrossing from one to another and changing alignment regularly. At least they often do in the UK. Maybe they are better defined in urban areas in other countries.

Cheers
