As it stands, opposite_lane is only defined in terms of 'other traffic', which itself only makes sense for oneway=yes. The current tagging scheme is lame and inexpressive and we should fix it. We'll probably have to introduce a new tag to say on which side of the road the cycle lane(s) lie, relative to the direction of the way's arrow. What about adding something like: cycleway:left=<any value permissible for cycleway> cycleway:right=<any permissible value for cycleway> and stating explicitly that the existing cycleway=* definition still means both sides: cycleway=FOO would imply both cycleway:left=FOO and cycleway:right=FOO. Suggestions of different things to use in place of :left and :right would be very welcome. I'd suggest keeping it defined in terms that allow rendering without foreknowledge of which side of the road one cycles/drives in a particular country. ... also, let's bump up something like cycleway=share_busway too (from tagwatch), because that's a common enough situation round here. Are there any other popular, interesting tags from http://tagwatch.stoecker.eu/Europe/En/keystats_cycleway.html that we should be thinking about? -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
