I've created an entry on the default access restrictions wiki page: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions#Australia
Now we can debate each line: === Motorway=== I left this as default. In Australia, some freeways allow bikes and farm machinery, some don't. The Western Highway/freeway in Melbourne does, for example, but the Eastern Freeway doesn't. Comments? ===Trunk=== Default. Ok? ===Primary etc=== Default. Ok? ===Pedestrian=== I wasn't sure whether to put bike in or not. Some pedestrian areas (eg, Bourke St in Melbourne) prohibit bikes. But I would have thought the default would be that you could ride through, albeit slowly, and "bicycle=no" can be added as appropriate. Probably most small town pedestrian malls allow them? Comments? ===Path=== Default is ok. ===Bridleway=== I would have said we don't have these, except I think I found one on the outskirts of the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. With the tiny bit of traffic they must receive, I can't imagine that pedestrians would be banned, and bikes probably wouldn't be either. So, horse=designated, bicycle=yes, foot=yes. ===Cycleway=== I would say shared use paths vastly outnumber bike-only paths, so I propose "bicycle=designated foot=designated". Horse...no? Paths that allow horses, like rail trails, aren't too rare, but can be catered for easily enough. ===Footway== Now, bicycles aren't allowed on *footpaths* - ie, the path that runs along the side of the road. But they're generally allowed on most other paths, like into or through parks, around sports grounds etc. So I propose "foot=designated bicycle=yes". Discuss. Steve
