I will answer your questions in reverse order: > And third, is it appropriate to add a nearly zero-length "cycle path" > to show that bikes and pedestrians can go through, or is there a > better way? It is not just appropriate, I consider it compulsory. Although I do think that for cases like this "pedestrian" (with bicycle = yes) is better than "cycleway". > Second, the bollard shows up in the middle of the wrong street; it > should be "between" Coralee and Little Branham. How do I arrange that? The bollard should be placed at the spot where the residential road changes into a pedestrian road, or somewhere on that pedestrian road. > How do I fix it so the streets stay separate at zoom levels a driver > would likely use? The addition of the pedestrian road might already solve this, and we also tag for the database, not the renderer. However, if you still feel a need to make the situation clearer, you can do so by making the pedestrian section a bit longer than it is in reality - in this case for example until the first driveway. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
