[OSM-talk] [tagging] Current access rules

[Ben Laenen]

I'm getting issues with the fact that access rules are never formally 
defined. For example, does this make a oneway road accessible for 
bicycles in two directions or not:

oneway=yes
bicycle=yes

For those saying that it doesn't, how would they propose a tag for 
allowing bicycles in two directions
* without using the cycleway=opposite tag, it's ugly :-)
* keeping in mind that bicycle=* in that case has less precedence over 
oneway=yes, so something like bicycle=twoway doesn't work (making that 
a special case so it has precedence over oneway would also be ugly)
* without making use of the namespaces like bicycle:oneway=*

Greetings
Ben
