I keep suggesting this needs to be changed, as the Vienna Convention on Traffic Control (of which the entire first world is a member of) defaults all roads of all priorities to bicycle=yes unless otherwise posted. In the US, for example, most freeways are open to cyclists except in limited areas where exits are too difficult to cross or motorists pose a bigger threat than usual to nonmotorized traffic (thusly, motorway restrictions for bicycles tends to be an east coast and California-only thing outside major cities). _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
