Ok, my bad.

Cycleways in Nederland can have all kinds of separation from the ways they run along, and indeed sometimes (most often not) they are elevated. If there was no continuous sidewalk at that spot, the continuity of the cycleway would not mean or implicate anything. It just telss people to expect bicycles. Cycleways along roads are often not discontinued for lower order crossing roads. There are no rules about that. Traffic from the right have priority. It is totally different from continuous foot pavement, which creates a pedestrian area where traffic is allowed if necessary, but needs to give way. In the spot shown, I would not mark the cycleway as continuous, because it does not make any difference if the red colour paving is interrupted or not, and also the kerb does not make a difference. I would mark the sidewalk as continuous because that makes a real deifferance for traffic and pedestrians. Traffic form the lesser road has to give way to all other traffic when leaving the area. So the cyclists profit from the continuous sidewalk. Again, the kerb or elevation or lining or surface of the cycleway does not matter. If there was no kerb, no elavation , and discontinued surface colour, it would be exactly the same. I don't know if that is the case only in Nederland. But I can tell you, continuous cycleway will not give any information other than that the cycleway is there. Anything you might want to deduct from that (traffic calming, access, prioryity) will need extra tagging. Assuming that certain rules are implied would be wrong in Nederland. In contrast, continous sidewalk is very common and very real here, and does imply rules. > Anyhow I updated the page > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Continuous_Sidewalk > continuous_sidewalk/continuous_cycleway=yes/no are now tags, so no more > collision and can be used on the junction node or on the way. > ______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
