Routers are generally in a much better position to process tags-on-roads into what they want than renderers are to process multiple parallel ways (howsoever linked) into tags-on-roads. > Just try describing this intersection (which isn't that complex, even) > solely with tags on the "proper" roads http://www.openstreetmap.org/?&lat=60.20853&lon=24.94616&zoom=17&layers=00B0FTF Well you could probably do it with tags-on-roads up to the crossings, then a cycleway linking the crossings (by the way, if you put bicycle=yes on those crossings, they will show in green). This might generate spurious turn instructions in a router (depending on the intelligence of the router), but would avoid showing the cycleway in the middle of the road at lower zooms. Richard
