Re: [Talk-us] Cycleway Crossings

There are many different OSM tagging "dialects" to describe the details of a foot-cycle-way crossing a road. I looked up the situation of the example on Mapillary. From that it looks as if the specific path is a combined foot cycle way (yellow diamond sign with a bicycle and a pedestrian side by

Re: [Talk-us] Historic 66 as highway=trunk in OK

Hi, going over my Mapillary photos of Route 66 I just noticed that long stretches of the Historic 66 are mapped in OK as highway=trunk as soon as they have separate carriageways for the two directions. Many of these stretches are at best secondary roads, often with poor road surface and with

Confusing it is, but if we can agree that the categories are about legal access and not suitability then we have made a big step towards clarification. Have a look at the wiki page OSM_tags_for_routing/Access-Restrictions.
