The only other difference was a general ambivalence on how shared paths are tagged. The wiki says highway=cycleway & foot=designated, people here were also happy with highway=footway & bicycle=designated. Two sides of the same coin I guess, and depends on which camp you're in. 😊
Personally, I use both of these for shared paths depending if I consider them more or less suitable for cycling (primarily based on width). highway=cycleway foot=designated segregated=no and highway=footway bicycle=designated segregated=no both adequately describe a shared path IMO, but I would expect a “cycleway” to be wider and generally more suitable for cycling than a footway. They do render differently, and I would expect a bicycle router to give shared path cycleways some preference over shared path footways.

This should be derived from tags applied at a State level. But retaining bicycle=no if there was an explicit sign forbidding cycling.

Personally, it's been hard to keep up with all the messages. Does the tagging guidelines wiki reflect a summary of what has recently been discussed? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Urban_Footpaths_and_Cycleways Thanks. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
