We need this kind of tags also for cycleways. I know many areas where the international cycleway is using a quite heavy loaded street with only a cyclelane next to it, where the parallel street is a nice calm street. I think one tag is not enough or you have to be specific. If I am in a hurry with a race-bicycle, I would take the bigger roads with cycle-lanes but if I cycle with a 7 year old child I would prefer the low traffic road even if there is no cycleway at all. > My first thought was to document a little more some road by adding a > shoulder tag (yes, no) and a traffic indicator tag (low, moderate, > high).

But we need at least shoulder:surface, too Cheers colliar _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
