Re: [Talk-us] Extra wide shoulders / travel lanes in NJ

I am now leaning towards the shoulder tag, and perhaps recommending that the routing tools consider that. In this case there is no official bike lane, just a shoulder. On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 7:01 AM Mike Dupont wrote: > On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 6:55 AM, Paul

Re: [Talk-us] Extra wide shoulders / travel lanes in NJ

These are used as an extra turning lane for cars, so going around corners can be dangerous for cyclists or joggers or walkers who all share them. On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 12:03 AM, Jack Burke wrote: > Wait, question: > > Are these shoulder lanes under discussion *only* for

Re: [Talk-us] Extra wide shoulders / travel lanes in NJ

Take a look at this map of the area http://www.dvrpc.org/asp/bikemercer/ It would not be used as a source, but it gives you an idea of what people call bike-able around here. On Tue, Oct 13, 2015 at 7:29 AM, Richard Fairhurst wrote: > Elliott Plack wrote: >> I am now

Re: [Talk-us] Extra wide shoulders / travel lanes in NJ

Sorry for the google maps links on this, but I've found NJ's use of shoulders (or "curb lanes") as bike lanes kind of strange. I would tag this as cycleway=lane but nothing for shoulder. For example: (note the trash can in the "lane")

I want to say Thank You to all who replied. I/we are still evaluating the softwares suggested, and while "free" (as in beer) wasn't mentioned (and is an appreciated feature!) some of the software which costs a modest price ($1.99) also seem worthy of consideration. This research helps me/us

Re: [Talk-us] Downgrading 'motorways' around toll plazas?

That is possible. And a fix in Osmand is relatively easy (edit routing.xml to set the assumed/default *_link speed to about 1/2 that of the assumed/default speed of associated non-link way). Can be further improved by setting all the assumed speeds to match the real world defaults in your part
