It is no longer clear to me what is being proposed since two different situations are involved. 1. There are situations where there are signs telling a cyclist to dismount. He/she can continue on the way, pushing the bike. To tag these situations the current solution is to tag

I don't see any point in the bicycle=dismount tag, when there is a change in speed limit we don't tag car=slowdown! The only way to tag the effect that the sign has is to change the access tag to exclude bicycles. As I see it it's that simple. However, if there is a situation in a country

It doesn't need a hint, it should be making that decision currently on all routes: is it quicker to get off and push if that is allowed. Nothing needs to change to support this other than to tag routes using ACCESS that a bicycle can't be pushed on. I reiterate, bicycle=dismount is a

Nope, the only difference is a way changes from a way that can contain cycles to a route that can't, it's an access issue. http://bigfatfrog67.me On 10/10/2013 19:18, Mike N wrote: On 10/10/2013 2:13 PM, fly wrote: What about hints to the router that it's OK to send cyclists on this route

Yes, the intention is to stop people pushing their bikes in a pedestrian area. No limitation on prams, wheelchairs, luggage trolleys, etc. It's just aimed at bikes (which in a country with lots of bikes, like the Netherlands, is understandable). Again: this really is not what bicycle=dismount

I'm not suggesting the dismount sign is ignored on the map, I'm saying, if cycling is not allowed (i.e. cyclist should dismount and no longer cycle) then it should either not be marked as a cycleway or the access tag should be used to restrict cycles on the way. http://bigfatfrog67.me On

It's cycleway all the way down, under the bridge, and up the other side. We don't get to decide whether it's a cycleway or not. That's what the signs are for. If it had changed into a footpath, there would be a sign (the Dutch are good at that). I agree that if there was a pedestrian sign, it
