Hello Stuart,

the waytype information is just used for the routing instructions such that a cycle rider gets a better idea what kind of way to look at. As the bits are limited and a more exact infomration is superflous for that purpose, I intentionally mangled all kind of ways somehow marked for bicycle usage together into "CYCLEWAY".

I also had some code which produced a statistic of the tour. It calcualted the distances per each paved and unpaved waytype. This code didn't make it into the master, although I think that it is an important feature for bicycle routing. The problem was that the code was too bicycle specific and required changes in all other flag encoders as well - see issue #209.

Hello all

I am starting to look at bike routing and I note in the handleBikeRelated method in BikeCommonFlagEncoder the following logic applies.

 if (way.hasTag("bicycle", intendedValues))
        {
            if (isPusingSection && !way.hasTag("bicycle", "designated"))
                wayType = WayType.OTHER_SMALL_WAY;
            else
                wayType = WayType.CYCLEWAY;
        } else if ("cycleway".equals(highway))
            wayType = WayType.CYCLEWAY;
        else if (roadValues.contains(highway))
            wayType = WayType.ROAD;


This does not seem correct to me as from my understanding this is taking the fact that a way has been marked as having a right of way for bicycles (but not a pushing section) then it is a full blown cyclepath. In my mind at least cycleway implies dedicated and marked (normally with differently coloured tarmac) sections which is a much stronger indication for cycle use than just a bicycle right of way.


Am I correct and if so should this be changed or was there a reason for this decision in Graphhopper.

Sincerely
Stuart Adam
