in Rome there is a cycleway that crosses 2 highly frequented slip ramps and then continues on the sidewalk - really ;-) Sometimes it is safer to use the street than the cycleway (though this might be forbidden in the case of a present cycleway in some jurisdictions). cheers, Martin slip ramps: http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=de&ie=UTF8&q=via+c+colombo,&fb=1&gl=it&ei=HwUhTIm6D9OJ_AbhztwO&ved=0CCoQtgMwAA&t=k&sll=41.870999,12.496815&sspn=0.000643,0.001321&split=1&rq=1&ev=zi&radius=0.04&hq=via+c+colombo,&hnear=&ll=41.870913,12.496815&spn=0,0.001321&z=20&layer=c&cbll=41.870908,12.49658&panoid=ut9thTORJag_tr_jr3yRPg&cbp=12,33.95,,0,23.18 cycleway (red way behind the guard rail, it is closed in this picture because they were just building it): http://maps.google.it/maps?hl=de&ie=UTF8&q=via+c+colombo,&fb=1&gl=it&ei=HwUhTIm6D9OJ_AbhztwO&ved=0CCoQtgMwAA&t=k&sll=41.870999,12.496815&sspn=0.000643,0.001321&split=1&rq=1&ev=zi&radius=0.04&hq=via+c+colombo,&hnear=&ll=41.869971,12.4965&spn=0,0.001321&z=20&layer=c&cbll=41.869877,12.496493&panoid=xAnnmkRAwLRaCRMW7bDadQ&cbp=12,14.87,,0,28.88 _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
