I concur with "keep it in" and help provide information for routers to identify potential warnings.
There are many similar issues for pedestrians which certainly should be mapped. For instance there are still many very hazardous unsigned pedestrian crossing points on dual carriageways (typically where a pre-existing right of way was bisected by the road). I noted several along the A45 from Northampton to Brackley last Saturday, and am still eternally grateful for the re-routing of a path which used to cross the A404 near Bisham. I was foolhardy to cross this once before the new route was opened. Another similar pedestrian safety issue are busy roads without verges or sidewalks. At least in the latter case the solution is adding sidewalk and/or verge tags which allows routers & renderers to avoid or highlight these less desirable possibilities. It seems rational to approach cycle routing issues in a similar manner. Jerry On 5 December 2016 at 16:31, Dave F <davefoxfa...@btinternet.com> wrote: > It needs to remain.
