I have created a new ITO Map overlay showing highway=byway in red and designation=restricted_byway in blue. It would also show ways with route=bicycle and name=National Byway as a thick green line, however there aren't any that I can see as yet.
You can try it here: http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=90 Note: this overlay map does not appear in the ITO Map layer selection list so as to avoid confusing users in other parts of the world - you will need to bookmark this URL if you want to return to it. t also doesn't have a key as yet as it is likely to evolve to meet some need or other or it may get canned in the near future if we don't need it any more!
