Yes you must use the cycle path but that law will probably soon change. You are allowed to use the road if it's better for your destination, whatever that means. So it's not against the law to use the road and so it should not be tagged as such.
A routing app for bicycles should be clever enough to use the bike path anyway. söndag 12 juli 2015 skrev Leonardo Brondani Schenkel <[email protected] >: > Hej! > > Sorry for not writing in Swedish but I'm not fluent.
