[OSM-talk] Tagging for street danger levels

[Sam Vekemans]

On the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalitions (copyrighted :-( Map) they
list 'busy' intersections that requre the cyclist to 'blender with
fast traffic' as adiquate infrastructure doesnt exist.

They use a yellow circle around the intersection.

However, in sometowns, EVERY intersection that doesnt have a 'cyclist
advance green' would potentially make cyclists become 'smooth'.

So it gets a 'red light' by me. HOWEVER, by detailing the map more
with the 'LCN' and listing all cycle lanes. The 'danger zones' can be
extrapolated. (doesnt have bike lanes & isnt part of a local cycling
infracture..

On another note, (same map) double cheverons 'V's indicating super
steep, and single for smooth steep, might be an option :-)
