About 14000 of the 14990 appear to be using highway=path for woodland paths, in Germany, and without designated access tags. The punters appear to want something that doesn't show up as a footway/cycleway. Richard On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 4:59 PM, Andy Allan wrote: > On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 3:10

I'd support that highway=path needs to be rendered in the cycle map layer, especially now it's becoming clearer how it's being used (for "raw" paths as you describe them). The dark grey dashed lines in Mapnik seem a good starting point. If "path" was rendered then the problem kinda goes away - use

It comes down to what you think is meant by "highway=cycleway". If you think that it means a cycle superhighway, then obviously you don't want to apply that to a shared-with-pedestrians route. But cycle superhighways are pretty rare, and "highway=cycleway" is used much more widely than that. I've c

Not all cycleways allow foot access, so tagging them as cycleway with foot=yes with the same issue, just with the modes of transportation reversed - how do you tell a cycleway which allows foot traffic from one that doesn't? IMO, having a foot+cycle rendering separate from foot-only or cycle-only

Right now, ways highway=footway or highway=path,foot=designated where riding a bicycle is allowed with bicycle={yes,designated} are rendered as normal footways, so there is no way to see that they are open for bikes. Is there a chance this could be shown on Mapnik, or at least on the cyclemap?
