@ Martin I understand what you are saying. With regard to routing I did not expect we had to explain why it could be improved by this new tag. There have been some examples like this one<http://graphhopper.com/maps/?point=52.508705%2C13.273662&point=52.509385%2C13.270111&vehicle=BIKE&locale=nl>showing that a router that wants SHORTEST way has no way of knowing it should not take the main road. Still routing is a difficult issue. And as some say... routing is not something to be mapped as a prime goal so our aim is to just focus on bicycle access. A better routing is then a spin off. Discussions about routing leads away from "bicycle access" as the main goal. I think (but you never know ;-) ) it is easier to explain that bicycle access on these roads differs from roads with explicit ban or roads that allow cycling (always). Having said that.... it still is difficult to come to some sort of agreement but we're going to give it a try.
