This is something that I've been wondering in ma, would on road sign posted routes (there is a sign on a post next to the road) be tagged differently the on road shared use (there is a picture of bicycle in the lane but cars also use it) Sent with Verizon Mobile Email

It was bicyclists who lobbied for paved roads to start with in America, not motorists. And it's the car-free folks who pay taxes that end up subsidizing motorists, since vehicle registration fees and gas taxes barely cover ⅕ of America's expenditures on motorist infrastructure. And motorists are privileged users to the road who don't have a right to it, but a revokable pass to use the road. People are quick to forget all of this. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
