If there is a sign, then it’s =designated, not =yes

Hi Kim,

highway = pedestrian is for pedestrianised roads/areas rather then 
footpaths/sidewalks/pavements for those I think the current tag is 
highway=footway.

bridleway isn't in use in Australia much for the path types we're discussing 
here.

 

I'd prefer a normal footpath to be

highway=footway - and no additional bicycle= or foot= tag, unless there's a 
sign specifically barring cycling in which case bicycle=no

 

Shared paths (the most common ones after a walking only path)

either

highway=footway + bicycle=yes (I prefer this one)

or

highway=cycleway and a foot=yes tag to make it clear (I don't prefer this one, 
but it's a mild preference)

 

This is mostly with a VIC perspective.

 

Adam

Hi Andrew and list,

How do we go about formalising these decisions? Is there a vote process, or 
does someone take it upon themselves to document in the wiki any consensus we 
reach on this list?

We should document in the wiki when to add bicycle= and foot= tags which 
duplicate the default values for highway=footway/cycleway? (As per Andrew's 
email below).

We should also decide on, and document the default access rules for various 
highway= values at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_tags_for_routing/Access_restrictions#Australia
 and remove the "Not endorsed by the Australian OSM community (yet)." Currently 
these are mostly the same as "Wordwide", except:

highway=pedestrian - bicycle=yes. Sounds reasonable.
highway=bridleway - bicycle=yes, foot=yes. I don't know enough about bridleways 
in Australia to have an opinion on this.
highway=footway - currently bicycle=yes. This I think should be broken up by 
state to reflect the state laws for adults riding on the footway. In Victoria 
and NSW:  bicycle=no. Is Queensland bicycle=yes? What about the other states?
These decisions should be replicated in the Australia or state relations with 
def:... tags so they can be found and used by routing engines.

With my DWG hat on, to summarise it looks like Graeme, Tony, Thorsten, Kim all 
advocate for not blanket tagging bicycle=no to every normal footpath (for the 
record I also support this, an explicit bicycle=no can still be tagged where 
signage is indicating such). Matthew has pointed out cases where Sebastian / 
HighRouleur has added bicycle=no but Mapillary shows bicycle markings. 
Sebastian, unless all of this you've actually surveyed in person and confirmed 
that the situation has change recently (happy to be proven if this is the case, 
though I think it unlikely) then we should proceed to roll back your changes 
because it's evident it goes against the community wishes here and the bulk 
changes have brought in these errors.

 

Sebastian, thanks for joining our mailing list and engaging with this 
discussion, but due to the consensus indicated here would you be willing to 
work through and revert these changes you've made?
