Hi Sebastian and list
Today I did a number of edits relating to whether a lack of bicycle
signage, on its own, is sufficient grounds to remove
bicycle=yes/designated or cycleway. Most of my edits though relate to
cases where there is signage that had not been noticed by an editor.
I invite anybody with an opinion on this to discuss here (talk-au). So
far I have two, reproduced below:

This is one of two cases of questions that had been asked but not
answered, I don't have an opinion on this one. Changeset: 115626232,
Sebastian's answer below
Bob42nd we shouldn?t be mapping based on a Strava heat map as it
doesn?t not determine that transiting in permissible. The heat map
indicates that people have used it but we should be mapping on the
ground with what form of transport is permitted.

changeset/120382941 This one had been changed from a cycleway to a
footway on the basis of no signage indicating that bicycles were
allowed. Lots of paths have been changed to foot on the basis of no
signage and I have let many go uncommented because I am not familiar
with them.
I know this one well. My understanding is that you have to wheel your
bike across Macrobertson Bridge but otherwise its OK to ride. I
signaled my intent to edit 2 weeks ago and got no reply so I made the
changes. Sebastian's reply below:
The Mapillary link you provided included a big picture of a bike with
a cross through it painted on the ground indicating that bikes are not
permitted. Not sure how you have have come to the conclusion that
bikes are permitted.
The bridge way that diverts north and follows Yarra Boulevard is not
part of the Main Yarra Trail.
Please revert the change.
