it is an error as soon as not all attributes on the road apply to the parallel cycleway as well (like you can see in the example you gave above), otherwise I agree it is only a lack of precision and detail. It is also quite common to not have the cycleways separate, because there are users that enforce their way of tagging. I had separate cycleways removed by certain users (and they are till now, because I don't want to try to become the DonQuichotte of separate cycleways) and when I wrote to them they replied: there was not enough space for all those ways, so I simplified the situation. :( They didn't want to undo their edits. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
