Yes: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0300-0399/0316/Sections/0316.2065.html "Any person operating a bicycle upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall ride in the lane marked for bicycle use..."
cycleway=lane means you have to ride in the lane (except under certain conditions which police are probably not familiar with). If a way is tagged cycle_hazard=door_zone (or otherwise has a poorly-designed bike lane), you might want to avoid the street altogether if it's cycleway=lane, but if it's cycleway=unmarked_lane you have a better chance of convincing a random cop that you're legally allowed to avoid the hazard. For an example of a map that distinguishes between the two cases, see http://www.metroplanorlando.com/site/plans/maps.asp ("undesignated bicycle lane" vs. "designated bicycle lane").

Would > "unsigned_lane" be less ambiguous ? Bike lanes can be marked with either a sign or paint on the roadway; unsigned can be interpreted to mean that there are no signs but there may be paint. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
