[OSM-talk] Rendering of footways with bicycle=yes

[Mike Harris]

At the risk of reopening earlier very lengthy discussions - this suggestion
seems to me to be an unnecessary misuse of the tag highway=cycleway which
has an accepted and fairly well agreed meaning. It also seems to be a prima
facie case of tagging for the renderers! Surely it is the rendering that
needs to be adjusted - not the data!

Why not tag it as a cycleway? Then it will display as a cycleway. How is it
different from anything else that might be tagged as a cycleway?

Right now, ways highway=footway or highway=path,foot=designated where riding
a bicycle is allowed with bicycle={yes,designated} are rendered as normal
footways, so there is no way to see that they are open for bikes.





Is there a chance this could be shown on Mapnik, or at least on the
cyclemap? Maybe a mixed blue-red line, or even dashes for the "designated"
vehicle type, and dots for the one with "yes"?
