Regardless if cyclists are allowed or not, this would be an access restriction, and wouldn't generally impact if a motorway should be tagged as trunk or not. In general I would assume most motorways have a minimum speed and try to keep high speed cars away from bikes, so the default would be bicycle=no... _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
