Many thanks for looking at this - the current state of bike route hierarchies is a mess, and trying to parse the many different tagging practices so that cycle.travel can display them properly has been a nightmare. It would be good to have a commonly agreed, intuitive standard. From the description on the wiki page, I'm not sure how your proposal differs from the practice documented at https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org/help/rendering/hierarchies . Could you explain the difference? A few passing comments: > Example name = Boucle de la Moselle: Toul - Pompey Please don't do this - the name tag is for an object's commonly agreed name, and "Boucle de la Moselle: Toul - Pompey" is not the official name of any part of the route. You could perhaps use the description= or note= tag instead. There are lots of examples of this in your proposal: "name=PAN Segment 1", "name=Véloroute 50 : Étapes", and so on. (Similarly, some people have tagged sections of EuroVelo routes in one country with the network=ncn tag. This is wrong: EuroVelo routes aren't National, they're International. I think this is probably a mistaken attempt to get them to render on OpenCycleMap.) > To do this effectively, you will need a powerful editor: JOSM. This is a "tagging smell" (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_smell). Any tagging scheme that requires a particular editor is probably a bad scheme. As it happens, you can certainly edit relations like this with Potlatch 2 no problem and I guess you can with iD too; but before any tagging scheme like this is adopted, you should create a tutorial for iD users. It shouldn't be necessary to learn a whole new editor just to be able to tag a bike route - as you yourself say, "Is the hierarchy of cycle routes reserved for experts?". Bear in mind too that iD users _will_ edit these routes, so the scheme should be intuitive and robust (of course, that should be the case anyway!). cheers Richard -- Sent from: http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/Tagging-f5258744.html _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
