Could you please give an example?
My first ever attempt to display cycleways
[...]
Thank you very much. Now I understand the problem.
There should be for a relatively clear concept like cycleways a
relatively easy-to-find tagging. Bonus points if the wiki does tell that
tagging.
I think the problem is that cycleway infrastructure on the ground is
quite diverse. There are ways allowed for cyclists only, ways that are
dedicated to cyclists and all kinds of combinations with other modes of
traffic where bicycles are accepted. I've even seen paved tram tracks
where bicycles are allowed.
Because individual cyclists will disagree on which particular kind of
ways are acceptable or preferred, it will be difficult to improve the
situation much.
Maybe it would be best to work on the well-kept wiki page
http://wiki.osm.org/wiki/Bicycle
to include the missing cases.
Cheers,
Roland
