Paul, Bryan, Thanks for your help with this! My issue was with bicycle trails that cross roads, as they usually put a crosswalk in for these cases, but the route itself can support other non-motorized vehicles. I think this gives me some good options that would be acceptable.
1) I could use highway=footway, footway=crossing, bicycle=yes -- which is a little misleading, but could make sense 2) I could also use highway=path, crossing=yes, bicycle=yes -- this seems better to me, but I don't know if it's acceptable to use crossing without "connecting" it to a value -- Jim On Tue, Jun 23, 2015 at 2:16 PM, Bryan Housel <[email protected]> wrote: > It’s ok to map them as either a single intersection node or a way.
