Hello everyone, Minh NGuyen had the following remark on the wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Tag:cycle_network%3Dcycle_highway> about the current tagging scheme of the cycle highways.
Anyone any thought on it? Incompatible with cycle_network This tag is incompatible with the predominant usage of cycle_network <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycle_network>=*. This key was originally intended to identify a specific network with uniform signage – a renderer was supposed to be able to choose a shield based on a combination of cycle_network <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycle_network>=* and ref <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref>=*. But it appears that cycle highways are signposted and numbered differently in each country, so there's no such cycle network as "cycle highway": * <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:F7_teller_-_Gent_-_Kortrijk_-_ter_hoogte_van_station_Deinze.jpg> Belgium * <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:2019Radschnellweg.jpg> Germany * <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Fietssnelweg_F35_at_Go_Planet.jpg> Netherlands A renderer would have to perform a spatial query to reliably display the correct shield for each of these routes, somewhat undermining the push to have renderers use route relations instead of ref <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ref>=* tags on ways. We already made this mistake once by repurposing the network <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:network>=lcn/rcn/ncn tags for routes outside the United Kingdom, leading to the otherwise redundant key cycle_network <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycle_network>=* as a workaround. Let's avoid making this mistake again by deprecating cycle_network <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycle_network>=cycle_highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:cycle_network%3Dcycle_highway> in favor of country-prefixed values like cycle_network <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycle_network>=NL:cycle_highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:cycle_network%3DNL:cycle_highway&action=edit&redlink=1>, or by choosing a different key altogether like cycle_highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Key:cycle_highway&action=edit&redlink=1>=yes. – Minh Nguyễn <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Minh_Nguyen> ^💬 <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User_talk:Minh_Nguyen> 00:51, 5 October 2020 (UTC) -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Pieter Vander Vennet
