but this is not real "map"-information but it is legal information you could also get from different sources. If a way is legally a cycleway, all the laws and implications in that county apply automatically. You just need the info: "it is a cycleway" (and not simply a way where you can cycle, but one designated as such). That's why I would _not_ put foot=no, motorcar=no, hgv=no, psv=no, goods=no, horse=no, motorcycle=no, moped=no, airplanes=no, llamas=no on every single cycleway. It is implied. I would put foot=yes if they are allowed. The proposed wiki-table would just be for the comfort of the mappers (summarize the legal situation and document it in a OSM-focused way), but it would not be required to read the map (if you know the local laws). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
