I've been following along trying to understand the difference between bicycle=designated and bicycle=yes. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access%3Ddesignated seems to say that it gives some sort of special status to that mode of transport compared to others, which isn't the case on multi-use paths here. But if you think that bicycle=yes paths shouldn't be shown on a cycle map but bicycle=designated should, then there must be some important difference I'm not getting from that wiki page; it's clear to me that our cycle trails ought to show up on a cycle map. Could you possibly explain this a little, so I know how to mark trails in future (and whether I should go back and change the ones I've already entered)? Should I (and anyone else who's been using bicycle=yes) be changing all our highway=path bicycle=yes mountain bike trails to bicycle=designated instead? ...Akkana _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
