+1  I always add foot and bicycle values and I never rely hidden
assumptions.  Without a certain amount of redundantencies, all this is
OSM tagging is much too fragile.  Thus I often add bicycle=yes to
highway=cycleway; it happens once in a while that you change "cycleway"
to "footway" and forget to add the bicycle=yes tag...

Also in Germany, the majority of cycleways are allowed for pedestrians.
Z237 without an additional sign such occurs less often than Z240 or
Z241 (though Z241 signals a bicycle only lane, but in reality this des
not actually work ;) ):

You forgot to add: in Germany.

The exact same sign is used in the Netherlands. Here it depends on the rest of 
the road layout wether you are allowed to walk on the cycleway or not.

[OSM-talk] www.OpenRouteService.org now supports Bicycle Routing with OSM Data

2008-07-03 Thread Pascal Neis
Hi List,
www.OpenRouteService.org now supports Bicycle Routing with OSM Data

www.OpenRouteService.org (ORS) offers not only pedestrian and fastest
and shortes routing based on the OpenGIS Open Location Service
specifications (OGC OpenLS), but also bicycle routing for the whole of
Germany. The OpenStreetMap data needs to be preprocessed a big deal in
order to calculate a topological street network valid for routing. This
processing generates currently about 2 million street segements for
Germany (from originally about 900.000 streets). The routing is now
based on the A-star algorithm and which improved the performance in
spite of the increasing data. Further extensions are in work and planned.

Currently the following keys are used for car routing:
- highway with value = motorway, motorway_link, trunk, trunk_link, primary, 
primary_link,
secondary, tertiary, unclassified, residential, service/access=yes and 
living_street
- motorcar=yes/no
- oneway
- junction

Currently the following keys are used for pedestrian routing:
- highway with value = all car highway values (without motorway/-link), track,
service, bridleway, cycleway, footway, pedestrian and steps
- foot=yes/no

Currently the following keys are used for bycycle routing:
- highway with value = all car highway values (without motorway/-link), track,
service, bridleway, cycleway, pedestrian and footway
- bicycle=yes/no
- work in progress: tracktype

Of course there are other combinations and possbilities and we
are evaluating those, but this shall serve as a first start ...

We are interested in your feedback! So far the service is restricted
to Germany only, we will add more later.

Cheers

I dont really care what the default is as long as the wiki page is very
clear about it.

Currently it says "implies: foot=yes" which does not match the sign
shown in the top right corner. Again it lists an example with the sign
telling foot/bicycle share the path and explicitly says "foot=yes" which
should be unnecessary as this is already implied.

So if it really implies "foot=yes" the bottom example is bogus and the
sign at the top right is bogus. 

If it does imply "foot=no" it should say so in the right "implies:"
section.

I still see it as an overall advantage if only 45% of ways must have
that additional tag, vs. 100%.  It's unfortunate that rather than
requiring all of the users to place an extra tag 45% of the time, it
actually shifts the burden so that a regional 45% of the users must use
the extra tag approximately 98% of the time.  If it were even across all
users it would be much more acceptable.

But I still think that it's better than requiring 100% of users to add
an extra tag 100% of the time.

I like the idea of having country-specific implications/assumptions, but
I don't really see a good way to document that.  Any suggestions?

If it's on a per-country basis, I don't mind - that's doable with some
maths. If the default applies > 90% of the time, then that's fine too.
The point that I get concerned about is if it's A 55% of the time and
B 45% of the time and someone says that A should be default.

So if the consensus is that it's almost always foot=yes (certainly is
from my experience, to the 98th percentile) then we should go with
that. And if it's just Germany that's different, then we can deal with
that too.

William Waites wrote:
> Possibly it is better to remove implication relationships amongst tags. 

I doubt it.  I think it is safe for highway=cycleway to imply
bicycle=yes and motorcar=no, and for highway=motorway to imply foot=no,
horse=no and bicycle=no.  These are "obviously correct" assumptions, as
they are part of the definition of the cycleway, or the motorway.  So I
think some implications are quite important, as they indicate some tags
which it is unnecessary to apply. (I certainly don't feel like tagging
oneway=no on most everything, for example).

> Cycling is one thing, appropriateness of feet is another, no?

There are basically 3 options:

Imply foot=yes (and several equivalents)
Imply foot=no
No implication

I feel that leaving it with no implication is a bad idea, because
someone wishing to rely on the OSM data for a routing app will need to
have a default for it anyway, either to route foot traffic along a
cycleway, or not.  So OSM might as well indicate which should be
assumed.  Of course, it would be possible to put an additional foot=*
tag on every cycleway, but I think it's better to do this in only half
(or less) of the cases, than to have to do it everywhere.

That leaves us with yes or no.
For the (OSM) definition of a highway=cycleway, it says "mainly or
exclusively for bicycles" -- foot=yes would apply to those which are
"mainly" for bicycles, while foot=no would apply to those which are
"exclusively" for bicycles.

The best assumption is the one which applies in the largest number of
cases.  I think that would be foot=yes.

I know Andy disagrees with this, and I can see his point about foot=yes
being wrong for some countries -- but I think it's better to have a
default so it's easier to make assumptions about routing, than to
require that all cycleways be tagged with an additional foot=* tag.

Oxford's Donnington Bridge has in different sections

 <-> Pavement <-> Pavement
   -> Cycle lane
  -> Cycle lane   <-  Cycle lane
 <-  Cycle lane   --
   -> Cycle lane
  -> Main carriageway  -> Main carriageway
 <-  Main carriageway <-  Main carriageway
 <-  Cycle lane   <-  Cycle lane
  --

Where  indicates a kerb.  I'm afraid my ascii art isn't up to describing
how they join, but be assured it doesn't involve car drivers having to make
last minute decisions at speed.

Then let the countries decide their default access rules? It's the same 
as trunk roads where the default access rules don't allow pedestrian or 
bicycle access while in other countries they are allowed. Anyway, I've 
mentioned the issue already at my access restrictions brainstorming

Yes, I see your point. A lot of my thinking centres around ease of 
data entry and the fact that when a lot of tags have to be entered, 
folks ... don't.  I take a default as a reasonable but not certain 
assumption. I wonder what our routing fraternity has to say.

I'd support that.  One practical data entry question.  If  I haven't 
noted whether it is shared or segregated, go back to cycleway=track, 
foot=yes ... or? Tracks often switch from one to the other frequently.

Well, I've commented on the rest, so let me take a 
stab.  cycleway=lane.  Does it matter that there happen to be two 
such lanes and their position?

My experience from a year of cycle-commuting through Hyde Park is that  
cycleway=chaos will do nicely. Especially if you add skateboard=yes.

I disagree - I think the default should be undefined. After all, it's
been undefined for a while, and I don't like hidden assumptions that
will be wrong for entire countries.

I've been asked by a cycling group how they should be marking shared
vs segregated, so how about

highway=cycleway, cycleway = shared - both bikes and pedestrians
sharing the same path, common in the UK. Has the blue sign with the
bike over the pedestrians.
highway=cycleway, cycleway = segregated - the path has a line down the
middle, cyclists on one side, pedestrians on the other
highway=cycleway, cycleway = cycleonly - bikes only, like the default in Germany

... but to be honest, I'm not entirely comfortable with it, and I
still think the lane/lane_opposite doesn't handle things fully either.
I found a bit in Hyde Park where there was a one-way road with cycle
lanes on both sides - with all three lanes going in the same direction
- and I don't know how to model that in OSM either.

Cheers,
Andy

In Germany (Berlin at least) you're likely to get angrily belled at if you 
stray into the cycle path as a pedestrian. Virtually all cycle paths are this 
way, and there are quite a lot of them (most major streets).

That said, I am not aware of a case where there are cycle-only paths with no 
adjacent footpath or sidewalk.

Possibly it is better to remove implication relationships amongst tags. 
Cycling is one thing, appropriateness of feet is another, no?

There has never been, AFAIK, any definitive discussion on a 
systematic set of defaults for the highway= tag or any tag for that 
matter. Hence any inconsistency. Though I think the examples you 
quote are not inconsistent ... the second one is a caption for a 
photo [1] with a sign explicitly allowing both foot and cycle, 
capturing that is good practice I think ... though I am lazy in that regard.

I certainly agree that the default for foot access should be one or 
the other for highway=cycleway.

My own preference is for default foot=yes.

Outside Europe, I've never personally seen paths or tracks where 
cycles go but not foot traffic. There is also usually no explicit 
signage, people just do.

In Sweden, paths I've seen are either unsigned or when signed, 
overwhelming with a blue sign for both cycle and foot.  Cycle-only 
paths are rare, and when I find them, I add foot=no.  I wonder if 
that is true for Germany and the Netherlands too?

[OSM-talk] Tag:highway=cycleway inconsistency

2008-07-03 Thread Florian Lohoff

Hi,

the wiki page for Tag:highway=cycleway has some inconsistencys. On the
right it says "implies: ... foot=yes" ... In the examples on the lower
part of the page it says "highway=cycleway" + "foot=yes".

So either the example suggests setting an obsolete tag or the implies
are broken.

Also the blue sign (German StVO Zeichen 237) implies foot=no so even
another inconsistency concerning the implies at least for germany.

The slider in the upper right corner allows you to switch the intensity
of the GoogleMaps- or OSM-layer.
