[Talk-ca] Rendering rules and tagging paths and hard shoulders for cycles
I realise there is some differences of opinion on this but I'm looking for guidance. Locally we seem to have a number of these tagged in different ways. CANVEC appears to tag some of them as highway=footway wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Paths seems to have a wide range of acceptable options, including bicycle=designated, bicycle=yes, access=bicycle etc. What is recommended for multi-use paths where cycling is permitted but pedestrians have priority? highway=path highway=path bicycle=yes perhaps? Do we care that some are used as ski trails in winter? Does this suggest dec-march ski april-nov cycle? Ontario is planning to increase paved hard shoulders to promote cycle safety. Quebec I think already has many of these. paved_shoulder=yes shoulder:access:bicycle=yes Has been recommended, any suggestions on rendering rules?

Re: [Talk-ca] Rendering rules and tagging paths and hard shoulders for cycles
Haven't done much bicycle tagging myself. Have you tried tagg...@openstreetmap.org? I would highly recommend including pictures from flickr etc, since different people have different ideas about what a cycle lane is (especially people from different countries). Here in Chilliwack a cycle path is just a hard shoulder, like [ http://www.flickr.com/photos/question_everything/4051911346/] (sometimes not even that wide or clean), but in Europe a cycle path might be more like [ http://www.flickr.com/photos/canadagood/3017259090/] or [ http://www.flickr.com/photos/alanstanton/2319965160/]. Good to include photos of what you're thinking of. Adam On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 10:46 AM, john whelan wrote: > I realise there is some differences of opinion on this but I'm looking > for guidance.

Re: [Talk-ca] Rendering rules and tagging paths and hard shoulders for cycles
I was thinking more of some one using the data that what the cycle lanes looked like hence the hard shoulder question and I'm only interested in Canadian suggestions, to be honest and parochial I'm just interested in Ottawa. However having said that in order to make the data useful it would be better if we were consistent within Canada.
