[OSM-talk] Finding duplicate cycleways

[joost schouppe]

There are very good arguments for both sides of this discussion. Is there a
wiki article where both views are really confronted with all the arguments?
(I've seen a long article about why you should use separate ways to make
wheelchair routing possible, but can't find it now. But I don't remember
seeing a neutral article which collects all the points of view).
