[OSM-talk] Cycle lanes & cycle tracks - my findings and a proposal

2012-05-21 Thread Rob Nickerson
As part of improving the wiki pages on UK tagging guidelines, I wanted to add details about cycle lanes and cycle tracks. As seen in this mailing list, I quickly got confused. I want to take this opportunity to share my findings. 1. "cycleway" key. I found the current cycleway key to be confusing

Thanks Martin, Yes, exactly right; I spent the time to do my research and also wrote up a brief introduction to cycle "tracks" vs "lanes". As suggested this has now been moved to the 'tagging' mailing list so feel free to follow the topic there. I'm a little concerned at how much the scope has wid
