Hi Martin, Thanks for the quick reply. If I understood you correctly, then Sweden would qualify as one of the countries having "compulsory cycleways" as defined at the wiki: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:bicycle%3Duse_sidepath I do understand that there are scenarios that authorize you to use the road, and that's why bicycle="use_sidepath" is not the same as bicycle="no". Are you objecting to the latter or to the former as well? P.S.: I don't really get why the law says you *must* use the cycle path and at the same time allows you to use the road. This means to me that in practice the use of the cycle path is encouraged, but not really mandatory (if hypothetically the police stops you, you could always argue that "it was better for your destination", couldn't you?). // Leonardo. _______________________________________________ Talk-se mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-se
