This will prevent an overload of tags on roads. There is only one router I know personnaly and that is the creator of the Openfietsmap <http://www.openfietsmap.nl/home>Garmin map. His map (lite version) is also worldwide <http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/>available. He uses this country specific scheme.
Part of his script is here. I think it makes clear that trunk roads are not accessabel for bicycles in some countries regardless of any "bicycle=no" tag. highway=trunk & mkgmap:country ~ '(NLD|BEL|LUX|FRA|DEU|AUT|CHE| DNK|HUN|ROU)' { set highway=motorway } highway=trunk & bicycle=no { set highway=motorway } highway=trunk { set highway=primary } Cheers PeeWee32 <http://www.openstreetmap.nl/>.
