no, less. There is no prohibition for bikes on the street, there is an obligation to use the cycleway. > Good point.

I feel the correct way to deal with this would be to associate the cycleway with the street (relation). btw: There are also hard core cyclists who like to ride on the street and who want to avoid cycleways in general and who as a consequence want to avoid this street because if they would take it they would have to take the cycleway. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
