I think there is some important difference between a designated cycleway and a cycle route. Cycle routes often use residential roads, agricultural tracks, primary/secondary/tertiary/unclassified roads and even footpaths. But this does'nt make these ways designated cycleways(highway=cycleway). Marking of *routes* is provided by e.g. Andy's Cycle Map, this has nothing to do with the type of the ways used by cycle routes, its what we have the route tags for. Otherwise I would have had to retag about 10km of primary and secondary highways of a designated cycle route I tracked last weekend as "highway=cycleway"... ;-) -Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
