Hi list
the discussions around the correct modeling of a motorway/divided highway intersection continue at https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/120498123
If you can offer suggestions, your help is welcome

Using the tag the tag highway = cycleway indicates that the route is designated for bicycles only. In Victoria, this is hardly the case as most paths are generally signed as shared paths. I?ve yet to come across a dedicated cycle path during my riding.

regards,

Sebastian

Can I please clarify "using highway=cycleway should only be used where there are signs allowing"?
That is how I've always used it in urban areas.

This would only apply in NSW/VIC. In other jurisdictions putting up signs has become pointless because you can ride anywhere. In Canberra almost none of the shared path system has explicit signage. I use cycleway to tag "primary" routes and footway for "secondary" routes.

So this would be a cycleway:

and this is a footway:
