[Tagging] cycleway Tagging and Wiki-Page

2013-01-12 Thread Balgofil
Hi, in the German Forum [1] we had a discussion about cycle lanes (with a lot of off-topic talk). In Germany there are two different kind of bicycle lanes: 1. "Radfahrstreifen": cycle lanes which are mandatory indicated by a sign and a solid lane (cycleway=lane) 2. "Schutzstreifen" cycle lanes

I think shared_lane is used when the bikes are sharing the lane with cars, perhaps with a cycle logo in the centre of the lane. Sharrows are when there are cycle logos to one side, but no lane marking (not very common in the UK; I've seen them in Brussels alongside parked cars, and they're more oft

Re: [Tagging] Adopt-a-highway representation in OSM -- using traffic_sign

2013-01-12 Thread dies38061
I take it that you are suggesting the use of key:traffic_sign as the referent for the sign containing the adopt-a-highway information. Though not said in the Wiki page ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:traffic_sign ), I generally think of a traffic sign as something which is meant to inf

A sharrow indicates a shared_lane (one of two markings in use in the US; the other being a bicycle symbol by itself with no chevrons, usually accompanied by the "share the road" advisory signs; this may be Oklahoma specific usage as Oklahoma doesn't use sharrows, however). On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at

Sharrow markings are typically (and properly) only found on bicycle routes that do not have dedicated bicycle lanes, and bicycle boulevards. cycleway=shared_lane in the US, save for locales that Did Not Get the Memo™, should also have bicycle=designated and be a member of the appropriate type=rout

This dashed/solid distinction applies to the US as well (though some states, such as Oregon, make lanes that have restrictions such as mandatory turns or specific traffic types, separated by double-width lines as well). On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 9:19 AM, Richard Mann < richard.mann.westoxf...@gmail

Perhaps instead of bridge_type, it should be bridge:structure, or some other indication that it's referring to the general engineering and architecture of the bridge rather than the vague "type" which might get confused with "foot, cycleway, motorway" etc; and _ which isn't a good separator for wha

I really need to get the River Parks Authority here in touch with Portland and Seattle on how it's done... MUPs suck for everyone involved, but a pedestrian-free cycleway with a vehicle-free sidewalk works wonders. On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at 8:31 PM, Clifford Snow wrote: > > On Sat, Jan 12, 2013 at
