Just route=bicycle, name=National Byway should be enough IMO. I wouldn't really call the National Byway a network - it's a circular route with the odd spur - but I guess that's in the eye of the beholder. (Bear in mind that, though I wouldn't go so far as to call the NB "vapourware", its ambition has thus far exceeded its reach. It's a lovely project but I think the completion date has slipped by about 10 years so far. It's a bit like standing at a station when the departure board always says it'll be here 3 minutes from now... and does so for an hour. We should be fairly careful to tag what the NB is, not what it wants to be. Even the 'National Map' on the NB website overstates its existence: there is no signage in Gloucestershire, and only intermittent signage in Oxfordshire where it coincides with the NCN, even though it claims both were completed in 2009.) > Fyi, I notice that highway=byway is depreciated by the wiki and that > designation=restricted_byway is proposed in its place.

Oh, absolutely. The National Byway is not made up of byways - in fact, it's expressly meant to be more an "on-road" network than (say) the NCN, which is why touring cyclists like it. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
