The problem with separate ways, is that none of the current routers will tell you that you have to cross the street to reach a house on the other side of the road. Most likely, they will let you walk till the next street crossing and let you walk back then. There are some proposals to solve this problem, but no implementation so far AFAIK. Try cycle routing on osm.org in an area with a lot of separate cycleways (e.g. The Netherlands) and you'll see what I mean. regards m _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
