I'm trying to think of a symbol to reflect that it's not oneway for bikes, but you might see lots of no entry signs as you approach, with a tiny hidden sneakthrough somewhere. I've already fallen for it in real life where I thought that OSM was wrong directing me up a oneway road and only later realised that it did indeed have an opposite_lane hidden behind a parked car. :-) But I don't worry about it too much, since it looks like many contributors misunderstand what opposite_lanes are anyway, since they are using them on two-way roads. We've never agreed on what cycleway=lane is either (the consensus is that it means cycle lanes in *both* directions, but that's a flakey consensus at best). And cycleway=track is similarly vague. Ho hum. Cheers, Andy _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
