The problem is the <whatever> or <*> could be interpreted as highway=cycleway as well. I will improve that and add a footnote. > 2) In example L1a, I have a strong preference for using existing tags > (cycleway=lane) if possible, rather than introducing new, unsupported tags > (cycleway:left=lane). Similarly for M4 and probably others. But it is documented in http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:cycleway since a while and is about 100 times in osmdoc. The problem with cycleway=lane is that the wiki never says clearly if it is for both sides and both directions or if it can apply for one side only. > 3) Make it clearer in the intro that these examples are all for a > right-drive country.

Hmm, but the advantage of this is when tagging evolves, we are sure it is edited once for all. > 5) IMHO it's a bit confusing that "Way A" is the right-hand side way. > > 6) You could also add "cycleway=no" where appropriate. where ? > 7) You don't make allowance for segregated cycleways > ("tracks"/copenhagen-style lanes) that aren't represented as distinct ways. > Is "highway=residential, cycleway=track" not possible? You mean for T1 and T2 but with only one way in OSM, right (the track is not traced separately) ? I didn't know it was called the "copenhagen-style". I will add it but not as a recommended solution. > 8) Since I don't think we have total consensus on how to map all this stuff, > it might be worth setting up multiple columns to show how different groups > are currently mapping, and using that to work towards consensus. I would prefere multiple rows (see previous point). I can also add more examples if someone asks for it.
