The oneway except cyclists bit is a well defined thing, whereby you can use the tag cycleway=opposite. You can be more specific by saying opposite_lane, or opposite_track as appropriate. (There are other way to tag the same thing which may be appropriate). Shaun On 12 Oct 2013, at 21:00, Phili

why not just tag a node on the road where the sign is as maxweight? It's much simpler and reflects what's on the ground Regards Brian On 13 October 2013 12:28, ael wrote: > On Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 09:00:38PM +0100, Philip Barnes wrote: > > I came across an odd situation where a road is on way

I came across an odd situation where a road is on way, except for cycles and vehicles over 13'3" high. Its a residential area of Shrewsbury which would be a useful rat run, hence the oneway. But to make it complicated, there is are industrial units, and a low bridge. Not sure of a better way, but
