That's what I want to say to _you_. Tag what you can actually see. And where I live, that usually does not include municipial regulations. Whether a path is meant for cyclists or just for pedestrians, is something I decide from the path and what's around it, not from a daily rush to the city hall to spit through meters of official documents. If it's two meters wide, and the curves are rounded rather than sharp, I call it a cycleway. If it ends at a pavement alongside a cycleway, and nothing has been done to smoothen the step that exists from cycleway to pavement at that point, I call it a footway. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
