Hi Andrew The Black Country is definitely not a daft region! It's a well known region of the Midlands with a rich industrial legacy encompassing Wolverhampton,Dudley,Sandwell and Walsall and I've surveyed about 50% of it. As agreed by the West Midlands mappers a region tag has been placed as a

[Talk-GB] Roadside cycle-lanes vs. off-road cycle-paths

2011-04-15 Thread Phil Endecott
Dear Experts, Can anyone propose a test that I can use to distinguish between roadside cycle-lanes and off-road cycle paths? This is part of my effort to superimpose OSM path info onto OS District Map. I would like to show off-road cycle paths that would typically be shown on a paper OS

I think Phil wants to know how to distinguish a highway=cycleway next to a road from one that's away from a road. I'm afraid you can't, unless someone's added some tags to distinguish them (the ones around Oxford have adjacent=yes tags for just this purpose; I don't think there's any other
