Hello
For some sorts of cycleroads you may look at my images at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Bycicle/overview_ways#Fahrradstra.C3.9Fe
first image:
cycleroad, no separate tracks fpr pedestrians, motor_vehicle=yes
second image:
the same with separate tracks for pedestrians, former residential
third image:
the same street, but now motor_vehicles=no!
all examples are tagged as highway=cycleway up to now, but that's looks
not very fine, especially at Mapnik...
Because it's not only a way (small), but a complete road (esp. im. 2 and 3)
So tuning the Osmarender style files I also supported rendering
of cycleroads some months ago:
For "pedestrian designation" we have this order inside OSM:
1. highway=residential
no special designation for pedestrian, they have to use tracks/lanes
at the sides or, if not there, the roadway(? Fahrbahn in deutsch)
and have to obey the vehicles
Osmarender renders as: white solid core, wide, grey solid casing
2. higway=living_street
designated for pedestrian, but vehicles are allowed with
"pedestrian speed"
Osmarender renders as: white-pink (foot color) dashed, wide, grey solid cas.
3. highway=pedestrian
designeted for pedestrian, vehicles only for delivery at some times,
sometimes bicycle=yes, typically former complete roads, redisgnated
Osmarender renders as: "foot color" solid core, wide, grey solid casing
4. highway=footway
designated for pedestrian, vehicles normally only for service
(street cleaning...)
Osmarender renders as: "foot color" solid core, small, grey dashed casing
5. highway=path
...
Osmarender renders as: "grey core, small, grey dashed casing
This schema I adapted for bicycles inside Osmarender rules:
1. highway=residential
no special designation for bicycles, they have to use designated
tracks/lanes at the sides or, if not there, the roadway(? Fahrbahn
in deutsch)
Osmarender renders as: white solid core, wide, grey solid casing
2. higway=cycleroad motor_vehicles|motorcar=yes
designated for bicycles, but motor vehicles are allowed with
"bicycle speed"
Osmarender renders as: "bicycle color" dashed, wide, grey solid cas.
3. highway=cycleroad (other cases than m...=yes)
designeted for bicycles, normally not for motor vehicles
(besides service?), typically former complete roads, redisgnated
Osmarender renders as: "bicycle color" solid core, wide, grey solid casing
4. highway=cycleway
designated for bicycle, motor vehicles normally only for service
(street cleaning...)
Osmarender renders as: "bicycle color" solid core, small, grey dashed casing
5. highway=path
...
Osmarender renders as: "grey core, small, grey dashed casing
So Osmarender is prepared to render cycleroad.
I just don't have a testing environment for Mapnik, so I yet couldn't
prepare rendering of cycleroads in Mapnik...
Because of different styles (cycleway/footway as dashed line instead
of core/casing, living_street uses a strange style not suitable for
this type of road, access-rendering uses styles that Osmarender uses
similar for living_streets) it might be a problem to find proper
solutions for rendering 1. to 5. for foot and bicycle more pleasant
highway=cycleroad is the tagging most suitable to the existing
tagging scheme ath this end of highways (residential-living_street-
pedestrian-footway-path) so I vote for this.
cycleway is not suitable to the appearance of most cycleroads in real live
residential is not suitable to the designation of cycleroads (and
living_street and pedestrian as also often former roads)
