> highway=cycleway is in use for... cycleways. Yes, and? A cycleway is a way intended for [bi]cycles. Nothing about what type of bicycle. From the wiki, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:highway%3Dcycleway : No two cyclists will ever agree what constitutes a good cycle route. Cyclists can seek out anything from only off-road routes to the quickest route on a multi-lane highway. That sounds like a good description to me; and following it as I suggested on "short to medium length tracks aimed ... at ... mountain bikers ...often with way-markers showing the sport" only makes sense. How you get "dangerous" or "not backwards-compatible" from that is beyond me. > highway=cycleway is already rendered, though. If you use the same > tagging for a mountain bike "cycleway", confusion is guaranteed ;) > Avoid hijacking ;) It's not hijacking to use a tag as described. No confusion should result. The simple fact is that not all cycleways are created equal. -Alex Mauer "hawke" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
