I don't buy it. Where I live most roadways have shoulders for bicycles and sidewalks for pedestrians. Yes, bicycles are allowed to share the main roadway, but only if for some reason the shoulder is unsuitable. That seems to me like the definition of a cycleway. Yes, there are usually no signs which say "bicycles can use the shoulder", but then, there rarely are signs which say "vehicles can use the road" either. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
