in Italy the sign is different (it is green, while the blue one is indicating an expressway) ;-) In countries where cyclists are allowed I do wonder if they are really > motorway, > +1, usually the definition for motorways is that they exclude slow traffic so if bicycles are allowed, they might not be "real" motorways by that definition. Generally I also agree with Andre Engels: there are no real "defaults", and there is no problem in tagging explicitly what some people might perceive the "default" for a certain context. It lets you distinguish checked attributes from assumed ones (as long as mappers don't add these tags semiautomatically to all ways of a certain type rather than surveying them individually). cheers, Martin
