In my opinion, the cycleway=track method is much better - it's easier to map, gives a cleaner and more accurate rendering, and is more representative of what's on the ground. Routing works much better this way too. I would use a separate way and highway=cycleway when the cycle path is any

Thanks Richard, Andy, Couple of points to feedback: * Good point on the cycle paths along roads. I left this section mostly unchanged from the original wiki page, but think we can easily add in the details you raised. * I might be 'brave' but am not brave enough to remove the UK Classic vs

Hi all, It has been mentioned in the past (and I expect many others have thought it), that the current UK Tagging Guidelines wiki page [1] is to confusing for newcomers and data consumers alike. I have had a go at addressing this by creating a new version of this page [2]. As discussed on

Brave man! Globally, highway=path is mostly used without any access tags, judging by taginfo: http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=path#combinations So I think Classic and Alternative are adequate titles. Established and Alternative would probably be more accurate. Richard On Fri, Apr
