I would like to come to a common agreement and document that highway=cycleway on distinct geometry is preferable to having just a cycleway=track attribute on a road. In the past some of the separate cycleways I had mapped have been deleted in favor of attributes on the road. The latter is an inferior representation (IMHO) because: 1. it makes it harder to add more attributes to the cycleway (including maxspeed, surface, turn restrictions, width, access restrictions) 2. it makes it unclear or at least much more error prone to determine which attributes of the road also belong to the cycleway (and vice versa) 3. it removes the geometric details (position, shape, unclear position of things between (or not) the cycleway and the road like grass, guard rails, telephone booths, poles, crossings between driveways, etc.) Therefore I believe we should recommend that fixing duplicates as of this thread should be done by removing the attribute cycleway=track, not deleting the highway=cycleway. Cheers, Martin
