Yeah, but from the point of view of a resident of that country, doing the mapping..."why should I put 'foot=no' on every cycleway? that's so redundant!" I have a similar issue with the suggestion that I'm supposed to mark every mini_roundabout "direction=clockwise". I refuse. Some day the renderers and routers will get smart enough to figure out that EVERY mini_roundabout goes clockwise in this country, and every other left-drive country. So do we just need a more managed approach to interjurisdictional variation? We have some ad hoc tables for things like freeways. Why not make this approach more structured, and possibly encoded, so that we can use plain old "cycleway" in different countries, and have a table that explains to routers what that means? Currently the definitions on each page are very vague, as they try and capture commonalities across all countries, even though actual practice is more specific.
