The case I was thinking of had a painted green bike lane with arrows pointing "backwards". With bike lanes in particular, you have to be very careful about making any global generalisations. > *cycleway=opposite: one-way street with bikes allowed both ways; > equivalent to oneway:bicycle=no Interesting point. This tag is a pretty good counterexample to whoever was suggesting that "cycleway=*" means "there is a cycleway here". > *cycleway=opposite_lane: one-way street with bike lane, bikes allowed > the other way; equivalent to cycleway=lane oneway:bicycle=no > and if you want, centerline=yes/no. Well, that's not my understanding. You're saying that the reverse-flow cycle traffic doesn't ride in the bike lane, but I thought it did. The wiki wording is pretty vague: "The route is a lane, but bicycles may go in the direction opposite of other traffic." Probably both situations exist. *shrug* Steve _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
