Most of the time when I've seen those signs it has probably been on private land, but I couldn't be certain it was all of them. > So there is a distinction, but it can probably be achieved by using > bicycle=no for situations where riding is not allowed, and > access=private+foot=permissive for situations where bicycles aren't allowed. That sounds reasonable to me. If everyone like that, is it worth putting on the 'access' wiki page as an example for how to tag something not completely obvious? > I've seen bicycle=dismount tags.

Several of the "cyclists dismount" signs over here in Australia are at crossings, where you are supposed to dismount anyway, so those ones are presumably a "no really, we mean it" reminder as you could in theory be booked for no doing it anyway. For the ones where you could otherwise ride you bike, I don't know if they have any legal force (not being a cyclist myself). _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
