Hi, all! I am trying to add some of the cycling paths that I ride in Moscow, Russia to OSM, and need some help.
The paths that I'm trying to add are on both sides of a 30km stretch of the Moscow river. I've done the North Side, as it's clearly visible from the satellite photos, and doesn't overlap any existing roads that exist in OSM. However, the South side of the river is complicated because parts of the path are indistinguishable from an already mapped road and/or the already mapped river boundary. Here are my problems in mapping both of these routes: 1. The route is essentially a large sidewalk for most of the way. It is shared daily by pedestrians, cyclists, and rollerbladers, although technically, I'm pretty sure that it's just a sidewalk, and not a multi-use pathway. Is it OK to label this as a cycling route? 2. Parts of both routes are actually dedicated shared-use (pedestrian, cyclist, rollerbladers) paths. How can I mark those parts of the path as "dedicated use" paths without breaking the overall path structure? 3. Parts of the route on the South side of the river overlap existing, already-mapped roads. I tried once already to map the cycling route over the existing road, but the cycling route seemed to be obscured by the road much of the way when I looked at it in OSM. Is there a proper way to overlay a cycling route on an existing road? Keep in mind that my goal here is to ensure that these routes show up on OpenCyclingMap. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions! Regards, Brian
