Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

FWIW I had the same problem in Brussels when I tried to map regional routes as RCN (like the Canal route or the Promenade verte), as opposed to local/communal itineraries that exist too. Someone downgraded them to LCN because RCN was used for node networks around the region and they probably

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

Do you have a user id and/or nodes/ways ? We can check the history and talk to this person, because in edit wars, it's usually the most determined one that prevails, not always the correct one... Glenn On 04-02-16 11:29, Benoit Leseul wrote: > FWIW I had the same problem in Brussels when I

I was reading this small arcticle, http://www.citylab.com/commute/2016/01/germany-launches-its-national-bike-autobahn-cycle-network/422451/ So in Germany they just opened up a piece of a long bicycle highway, I was intruiged, so I started looking for it in OSM. This is how germans currently tag

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

Hi, thanks all for your answers. I agree with Jo and Sander : there is something missing in the current way of describing those bicycle highways which are indeed very specific in their realisation (exactly like a car highway) and their use (connecting cities). I don’t agree with Sander when

[OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

Hi, Below you will find some information about the developing bicycle highways (or fast cycling routes) a bit everywhere in the world. I was wondering if anything was foreseen to tag such highways ? If not, what's the best place to discuss this, since I guess this should be uniform at world

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

Nothing really special about them, highway=cycleway should be appropriate. Glenn On 24-01-16 13:12, Matthieu Gaillet wrote: > Hi, > > Below you will find some information about the developing bicycle > highways (or fast cycling routes) a bit everywhere in the world. > > I was wondering if

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

Bicycle highways are more like bicycle routes than different highway types. They are a route specifically made for commuting, connecting residential area with some work center in a rather straight line. As such, I think those could get tagged as a cycle route with some specific sub tags (like a

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

Between Leuven and Brussels they are marked in a way that is verifiable on the ground. We need a separate 'network' tag for them though, and it would be nice to see they get rendered on the specialised bicycle maps. Jo 2016-01-24 15:31 GMT+01:00 Sander Deryckere : >

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

The Fiets-o-Strade between Antwerpen en Mechelen is a relation [1]. I don't know who created it. As far as I remember there are "maps" along the route. I think the blue sign [2] is indicating it. For the rest you will only see destination signs for cyclist [3] [1]

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

There is a problem with the 'network' tag for those Fietsostrades. The change of the network tag of the HST-Route Leuven-Brussel by the creator 3 years ago from 'network=rcn' to 'network=lcn' is justified "to solve a color conflict with the cycle node network". This looks like tagging for the

Re: [OSM-talk-be] Bicycle highways

I think we should get away from those rcn, lcn and ncn networks. And be freer in the allowed networks. Even now there are problems with rcn networks used for cycle nodes, as those are getting introduced in France and Germany, while those countries already use those networks for other route types.
