I think this is an important point. It becomes a problem when people try to map the *law*, because legal status is often difficult to verify - e.g. you can't see it! I tend to only map legal status when it is directly marked by signage on the ground - at least you can see signs (i.e. their existence is verifiable). So if there's a sign with a bicycle on it and a "no pedestrians" sign, that should give enough confidence to go with highway=cycleway, etc. If there's no signage, stick with highway=path, surface=*, width=* - these are verifiable without sifting through a law book. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
