[OSM-talk] Combined bicycle & footway

[Tomas Straupis]

Hello

  Currently combined bicycle & footway
(highway=path/foot=designated/bicycle=designated) is rendered in
mapnik as a simple cycleway (blue dotted line).

  Is there a reason for this or simply nobody has fixed that in mapnik
stylesheet (currently bicycle blue is rendered on top of footway red
making red part invisible)?

  I've seen this one:
  http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/2425
  but the reasoning "blue dots are on anything you can ride a bicycle"
is not convincing... You can ride on track, on residential and yet
it's not blue dots... I would like such combined ways to indicate that
they are created for BOTH cyclists and walkers (especially then this
would include segregated ones).

  I could send a working mapnik0.7 fix for that... (rendering it as
blue-red-blue-red dots.)

P.S. Sorry if this is not an appropriate list for this (there is no
such list as "osm-mapnik" or similar).
