Except in parts of the world where maxspeed=30 is true for all highway=residential unless otherwise posted (most of Metro Vancouver, BC). > Maybe add motorcar=destination to emphasise the > point for routers. We have a tag for special features for cyclists, so > I'd use that to be a bit more precise: cycleway=cyclestreet. cycleway=cycleroad wouldn't be a bad option, this would give more flexibility if larger ways do become bicycle boulevards, as well as incorporate more major ways that are, in essence, bicycle boulevards (such as the Hawthorne Bridge and it's double bicycle lane on the Madison approach). http://bikeportland.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/madisonbikelane.jpg (By the way, if you live in this area, take a look at the picture: Most of these cyclists are doing the right thing, two need to pick a freaking lane!) > Is that precise enough - probably.
