Merging this data I see that some ways that just lead to an NCN route (but are not actually part of the continuous route) are still marked with the ncn=yes;ncn_ref=xx tags for the route the lead to. What's the feeling on this? I'm a bit torn: - On the one hand they are not the route, as in the

The people who collected the data tell me that the cycle lane widths were recorded in 3 categories: 1) 1.5m 2) 1.5=x2 3) =2 So the values in the data (1.25 and 1.75 mostly) are spuriously accurate and quite often overstated. Richard ___ Talk-GB mailing

I'd be tempted to convert the cycleway=lane into cycleway:left=lane and cycleway:right=lane anyway, since (if I understand it right), it's relatively easy to tag-transform it back again, for data users who can only use symmetrical stuff. The capital letter is wrong though. Richard On Mon, Jun
