Thank you Ramey and Xan for your interest. I'll think about your suggestions.

Honestly Xan, I was thinking about something a lot more simple than what you suggest. Your suggestion goes far beyond my need and I understand that, if we want to formalize something, we have to answer as much needs as we can.


Sorry for the complexity. Others always think of different uses than you think ;-)

If I come back to my little cyclist need, I wonder if I could simply put cycleway=shoulder. That would show that: there is a shoulder, it is large enough to accomodate cycling, cycling is authorized on this road, shoulder is not reserved for emergency, ... With about the same logic in mind, I could say cycleway=no_shoulder, meaning that that road is often used by cyclists and the traffic is low enough for a relatively safe sharing of the road between car and bicycle even if there is pratically no shoulder (I have an example of that near my home).

Perhaps this

shoulder=yes
shoulder:access:cyclist=yes

(I follow the access wiki page syntax)
??

Thanks for receiving my ideas...


Do you have no a Proposed Tag page?

Regards,
Xan

As I am suggesting adding values to the cycleway tag, I still believe that the shoulder indicator would be usefull ...

Let think a little bit more about this ...

    Daniel, I'm insterested in that. If you formalize it, please,
    alert me.
    I think it could be useful:
        - shoulder={yes,no}
        - shoulder:width=5 m
        - shoulder:side={left,right,both}
        - shoulder:line={continuous, dashed,....} (see [1])
        - shoulder:access = [all the access] (in some countries, the
    shoulder is for emergency purposes, depending on highway
    pedestrians and
    biclycles could use it, in some countries it could be used for
    buses..)
