Haha, I only mean well :-)
The issue came about from trying to improve the guidance provided on the UK
tagging guidelines. Currently I have copied over the guidance that already
existed (to the consultation page), however this was very limited and has

You sometimes get a simple direction sign at a road junction saying
"Byway". It just means it doesn't go anywhere very much, but otherwise it's
a normal unclassified (non-urban) road.

I think the confusion here relates to a failure to differentiate
criminal law - in this case failing to comply with a traffic sign - and
civil law - trespass - in this case not being within the class(es) of
users permitted on a particular section of highway.
It's not a criminal offence to cycle o
I'm pretty happy to add that any way signposted as either a "Byway" "Public
Byway" or "Byway Open to All Traffic" should be tagged as
designation=byway_open_to_all_traffic as long as it also has a red arrow.
Unlike footpaths there is little chance of a landowner putting up a sign
for a "byway" unle
Hi All,
I would like to improve the guidance given on the UK Tagging Guidelines
page in regards to how to map cycle paths. As a non-cyclist I would like
some advise. So far my research has found:

* "Cycle Lane" - lane marked out by painted lines _within_ the carriageway.

Thanks for the explanations of the complicated 'network' situation.

Not a waymarker, but the signposts are fairly rare too; "Public Byway"

FWIW Derbyshire seem to have started (within the last 3 months or so)

"National Rail" is what ATOC came up with to describe things that are
represented by the double-arrow symbol, and which would formerly have been
referred to as "British Rail" or informally as the rail network. (The staff
refer to it as "the railway", but that's another subject)

Or indeed we could just go with "network=National Rail" as a good

My issue with "National Rail" was that, to me, (as I explained to the

Hi
This is a general question about the current state of the maps.
When we use our commercial road networks (OS Mastermap & Navteq) for road
routing we tend to assume that the roads have been analysed for
connectivity, that there are no one-way streets leading to dead ends, that
you can't turn left

Absolutely. It does look really good. :)

I doubt there are any instances in the UK where there's a TRO supporting a
No Pedestrians sign on a cycle track (welcome to be proved wrong!). The
possibility exists in the legislation, but you'd have to explicitly sign it

IMO it's better to add something clear than to shoehorn something into a
generic tag. Especially if you end up with compound values. OK so they
could be parsed, but it's just making work (both processing and
maintaining). Better to have something unambiguous like national_rail=yes
