Relations between adjacent ways - yuk - proximity tests between near-parallel ways are computationally horrible. It isn't adequate to just say the two are related and hope the data consumer will sort out the mess. The cycleway key is applied to the road to say what the cycle facility is on that corridor (so I use cycleway:left=track to say there's legitimate cycle access on the adjacent sidewalk, and lcn:left=track to indicate it's part of a local cycle network).
Using highway=path just because it's shared-use - yuk. The norm in the UK is to use whichever of footway/cycleway feels right (basically cycleway if it's nice and wide, and bikes are allowed, footway if it's a bit narrow or bikes aren't allowed), and set access tags (bicycle=yes) if the default for the highway value isn't appropriate. highway=path is better left for the countryside. IMO - others disagree. Richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
