[OSM-talk] Combined bicycle & footway

[john whelan]

There are many different ways to render cycle and footpaths and a number of
different ways to indicate them as well.  You can create your own custom
rendering rules but in view of all the differences floating around I suspect
the defaults work fine for most people.

For example locally we have mutil use paths some are tagged cycle some are
not, we have paved shoulders that are used for snow in winter and cycles in
summer, they don't show on the default mapnik rendering.  The latest I've
heard of is sharrow markings which are being used locally again not rendered
by default.
