Improving lane tagging by removing the error by omission would reduce the number of wrong ways while increasing the number of correct ways. > Oh, but you reject (as an arbitrary rule) any suggestion that we would > have to fix all those broken tags at > the same time as we redefine the meaning, so they would STAY BROKEN for > YEARS. > There's ways to deal with this situation, but you have to first acknowledge that there's a 300,000 way glaring error by omission with the current situation, that *won't* be fixed, *ever*, by maintaining the status quo. > Do you really not understand why motorists want to plan routes around the > number of lanes suitable > for motor vehicles rather than the total number of lanes, not all of which > may be suitable for motor > vehicles? > Do you not understand that some roads have more than one bicycle lane, and many places have bicycle lanes *between* motor vehicle lanes?
