I don't understand why this discussion is (again) happening on this list. Every two monthes, the australians and americans are complaining here that the current definitions of cycleway/path are not clear and should be redefined or even better deprecated. I just wanted to say that what is on the wiki in english is a compromise for all countries since more than a year now. The tags apply in a huge amount of objects. If a country is not happy about the definition, he can improve it in its own wiki page with its local rules/practices. This is done by many countries now in the wiki. It seems that australiens and americans are just considering the problem differently because the main wiki pages are in english and they feel responsible to adapt the definitions for the whole world. So please, go ahead with your own definitions and usages of path/cycleway but in your local-talk-list's and wiki's.
Pieren PS: in France, we have a similare definition of cycleway/path as Germans. Don't consider what is done in one country the "minority" and what is done in yours "the majority". _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
