Re: [Talk-GB] Pedestrian priority and highway=cycleway
If iD really is prompting changing highway=cycleway->highway=footway without preserving cycle access, we can expect to see cycle routing becoming badly broken in a lot of places. Some of these edits were made 3 weeks ago and nothing like that appears to have been reported elsewhere. There also appears to be no justification in the wiki for assuming that highway=cycleway should not be used where pedestrians have priority, unless I have missed it. In general, the GB assumption is that pedestrians have priority on infrastructure shared with cyclists. Personally, I don't really care whether the top level tag is cycleway or footway, as long as routing, access and other physical characteristics are correct. In any case, my first presumption was carelessness, not malice. Breaking cycle routing in this part of London is very unhelpful, particularly at the start of the new school term.

Re: [Talk-GB] Pedestrian priority and highway=cycleway
I think highway should be reverted to cycleway. There's a misunderstanding that highway=cycleway implies priority to bicycle riders, when it actually relates just to the number of transport modes which can use it. Bridleway equates to three modes: walkers, bikes & horses. DaveF On 03/09/2020 11:02, Robert Skedgell wrote: Rather than reverting, I restored access and left the top-level highway=* tag alone.

Re: [Talk-GB] Pedestrian priority and highway=cycleway
I think access=permissive could have unfortunate consequences for motor vehicle routing, unless routers ignore highway=footway|cycleway anyway. Some of these paths should probably have motor_vehicle=private added (together with some gates and removable/rising bollards), as maintenance and event vehicles do use them.

I think the permissive tag is due to it being yet another perceived public space which is actually private, so there’s no public right of way.

Re: [Talk-GB] Pedestrian priority and highway=cycleway
Hi there, Unless there's a "history" to this I recommend that you assume good intent. Seems Skyguy made an embarrassing mistake there. Please also don't assume "tagging for the renderer" or "vandalism", those two OSM curse words ;) the mapper explicitly stated their intention in the changeset comment, and it appears to be motivated by the genuine status of the park. By the way, the Olympic Park is technically private property not public land, so local rules set by the park owner might take precedence over generic Highway Code.

Re: [Talk-GB] Pedestrian priority and highway=cycleway
I suspect that the real clue is in the changeset tags: resolved:outdated_tags:incomplete_tags=10 So the iD validator has presumably claimed that the tagging of those paths was "out of date" in some way and this was likely a misguided attempt to fix that. Of course that was likely based on some rule in the validator that is trying push whatever daft path tagging the wiki is currently trying to promote... Certainly I think a polite enquiry would have been a better first response than presuming malice.
