I've just put a lot of definitions on the wiki stolen from (and attributed to) the Australian Road Rules concerning the various types of footpaths and bicycle paths and lanes
We have "Shared Path" to be tagged 'footway' with bicycle=yes I'd like to suggest that a shared path has been designed for bicycle use with regard to width, surface, gradient, visibility requirements and that tagging it as a 'cycleway' with foot=yes (exactly as a separated path) would be of assistance to routing software, which could otherwise send a cyclist down a road because the primary tag was 'footway' liz _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
