I don't know the details of this particular case, but if there is a real intention to be built the route, then why not map it as future ?
OMS has tags to manage the life-cycle of past, present and future features.

Let me explain why: Both the main routes (fietsostrade, fietssnelweg, whatever you wish to call it) and the 'BFF' ('Bovenlokaal functioneel fietstroutenet) are by no means an indication of actual infrastructure being present, nor is it a measure of quality for the infrastructure that's there. The point of a map is to show what's there. Neither BFF nor the structural network of 'bike highways' are relevant in that aspect, they only show where we'd eventually like to see proper infrastructure. Don't get me wrong, if there's a suitable way to give the proper bike highways a little lovin' on the map, I'm all for it. But only when it's actually there. Stretches that aren't there, or that are on the BFF but the cycleways are mapped as part of the other infrastructure there, probably shouldn't be mapped as such. Let me illustrate with an example, the connection 'Roeselare - Torhout', along the train line: - between Spoorweglaan and Mandeldreef the trajectory is drawn very badly. - The stretch between Mandeldreef and Koning Leopold III-laan is yet to be constructed (but at least building permit is in, afaik) - Along the Regina Woutersweg there's so seperate bike infrastructure - North of the Wijnendalestraat the bike path suddenly stops. The extension of the currently present trajectory would run right across a (trucking) transport company, and there's no opening in sight. - it assumes a crossing below a bridge (R32), where there's no room between the current road and train tracks (concrete bridge pillars in the way) - the entire remaining stretch up to Stationsstraat in Gits is NOT THERE. - .... How would one suggest mapping a such vision? I will however state I'm in favor of covering the proper stretches through relations, very much like the node networks, and what's on OpenCycleMap. Sticking to 'mapping what's on the ground' would - to me - seem the best way to go. If there's clear intent on finishing missing links (like a piece in Zwevegem, on the Guldensporenroute) could probably very early onwards get mapped as 'under construction'. 2018-02-01 16:29 GMT+01:00 Ben Abelshausen <ben.abelshau...@gmail.com <mailto:ben.abelshau...@gmail.com> >: In London some of the routes are mapped as proposed, it's a bit annoying if you don't know that they are just proposed and not actually there: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6691788 Rendering is a dotted version of the normal line on the cycle layer: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.54524/-0.01871 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.54524/-0.01871&layers=C> &layers=C So, not sure if we should be mapping this if they don't exist yet... but if it's an 'official' detour why not? Some of these routes are only virtual anyway and not signed at all.

As the Flemish "fietsostrades" (fietssnelwegen, or cycle highways) are taking shape, so they are being mapped in OSM. People are already using the data, even though in reality, this is till very much a project. In more and more places, parts are completely ready, but then just stop. And in some cases, there is an "official detour" of the fietsostrade. So while the infrastructure is not there yet, in a sense the route is already there. How do you think this should be mapped, if at all? -- Joost Schouppe OpenStreetMap <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/joostjakob> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/joost-schouppe/48/939/603> | Meetup <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/members/97979802/> _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Talk-be@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be _______________________________________________ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Talk-be@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
