I've seen this called a contraflow bike lane. The only difference between an actual contraflow bike lane and a one-way street that's two-way for bikes is a centerline, and we don't normally tag whether a street has a centerline. So I don't think it's worth distinguishing between these two cases. In other words: *cycleway=opposite: one-way street with bikes allowed both ways; equivalent to oneway:bicycle=no *cycleway=opposite_lane: one-way street with bike lane, bikes allowed the other way; equivalent to cycleway=lane oneway:bicycle=no and if you want, centerline=yes/no. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
