Hi, From recent discussions on the talk-dk list, it seems that all mappers who have spoken out agree that the current scheme for tagging cycleways [0] is not adequate for conditions in Denmark.
The currently available values on the cycleway key are: lane and track (apart from the opposite* values, which are not relevant here.) From the description and images given in [0]: * lane is a bicycle route that is separated from the driveway with a painted line on the pavement. * track is a bicycle route that is separate from the road. On the picture, it is separated by a strip of grass. In Denmark, especially in urban areas, cycleways are almost always constructed using curbstones. I've attached a small photo to show you what that looks like. Often, you find cars parked like seen on the picture. Until know, the consensus has been to tag these using "cycleway=track". However, it is the consensus of the danish mappers that we would like an option to specifically tag the curb-delimited cycleway. We considered proposing: cycleway=curb which is short, but as someone pointed out, you don't actually ride the bike on the curb like you do the track or the lane. Alternatively we could use: cycleway=curb_delimited which is more accurate. A different approach altogether would be to use something like: cycleway=yes delimited:cycleway=curb Here, "delimited" is qualified because the delimiter could refer to another part of the construction (e.g. the road itself or a footway). This form is more general, since delimited:cycleway=* could have other values like grass, fence, ditch, etc. It would be useful with a bit of feedback from the international OSM community!
