Hi folks, is there any consensus on how to tag cycling on motorway shoulders?
In some places, the simple tag bicycle=yes (or no) is used. This is straight forward. In others, the left hand shoulder is tagged as a cycle lane, using "cycleway=lane" or "cycleway:left=lane". Others have used "cycleway=shoulder". On the ground, the signs I know (in Vic and S NSW) usually read, "cyclists use left shoulder" and "emergency lane, bicycles excepted". It's not explicitly called a cycle lane in Vic or NSW road guidelines, only that bicycle access is permitted along the road shoulder (as on any other non-motorway road). In my mind, there's a big difference between tags that imply, "you're allowed to ride on the motorway" (as on any other road) versus, "there's a dedicated bike lane here". FYI, this overpass turbo query shows some common tagging options in different colours: https://bit.ly/3TaYR8P Any thoughts? Thanks, Ian
