This would actually be a very good idea for the Netherlands. I know one (well two parallel ones) Dutch cyclestreets that is (are) signposted with a zone sign that actually makes it a: highway=cycleway maxspeed=30 motor_vehicle=yes It goes from Tilburg to Goirle (and back). This signage actually gives it a special legal status. But all other cyclestreets I know of in the Netherlands are signposted with signs that have no legal status at all. Using designation=cyclestreet there would not be appropriate. Using highway=residential or unclassified plus cycleway=cyclestreet sounds like a very good idea for them. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
