Hallo, since a new main value for UK:advisary cyclelane, DE:Schutzstreifen, A:Mehrzweckstreifen, NL:fietsstrook met onderbroken streep, F:bande cyclable conseillée et réservée, CZ:cyklistický jízdní pruh didnt get approved, Im thinking of introducing a sub key for that. (Like many of you already suggested.) As a start Im thinking of cycleway=lane + lane=soft_lane for that purpose. However just a key for that one occasion doesnt seem logical, so a set of keys defining different types of on lane/on road surface cycle infrastructure should be developed, to keep the tagging consistent or to create a structured concept. In order to do that, Im thinking of introducing lane=strict_lane, soft_lane, suggestive_lane for lane like cycle ways where bicycles are encouraged to stay on one side of the road and shared_lane=sharrows, pictogram, busway for roads/lanes where bicyclists are not separated from other traffic. The in my opinion the main problems in that idea are the use of lane=suggestive_lane and shared_lane= busway. lane=suggestive_lane because it is in contrast of the current tagging as cycleway=shared_lane in the Netherlands. At least as far as I can remember. Im also not sure whether smurf lanes in the UK are tagged as cycleway=shared_lane. shared_lane= busway since this is currently tagged as cycleway=share_ busway. I think that in favor of structure, shared_lane= busway should be allowed. However, I havent made up my mind about that yet, or whether cycleway=share_ busway should be deprecated or just be discouraged. This would leave cycleway=track, lane, shared_lane, opposite_track, opposite_lane, opposite as the main values, lane=strict_lane, soft_lane, suggestive_lane and shared_lane=sharrows, pictogram, busway.
Not part of the sub key discussion: As an addition one could say that a cycleway=track is also a lane like cycle infrastructure, which would make it a lane=track sub key. Also any cycleway=opposite(_*) could be represented by, for example, highway=* + oneway=yes + oneway:bicycle=no + cycleway=right/left/both cycleway:right/left =lane + cycleway:right/left:oneway= yes/-1 (assuming right hand traffic) What are your thoughts on this tagging scheme? Im sorry, if this is a bit confusing. Its late but I just couldnt wait writing. Best regard Hubert
