maybe oneway-streets do more often have a cycleway only on one side of the road, and they are mostly drawn in the direction of traffic flow (although -1 is a valid alternative). Given that most of the ways in the db are in countries with traffic on the right, but GB is strong for mapping cycleways this could explain those numbers. To investigate further you should also look on countryspecific preferences to use tags vs. explicit geometry. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
