Personally I consider cycleway=track a preliminary state before a proper highway=cycleway is drawn. It is intended for cycleways that are parallel to a street. There are problems with either approach: - either you draw a separate way (highway=cycleway), with the benefit of being able to set proper maxspeed, surface, oneway, lanes, access, turn-restrictions and other tags for the cycleway, but risking that not all possible interchanges are mapped initially (common mapping mistake). This also allows for small geometric details that otherwise get lost (positional accuracy). The backdrop is that in some cases the cycleway gets lost below the street in the rendering (dependent on render order and render widths). - if you set a cycleway=track you will not have most of the details described above, but you'll have less work and possibly it will look nicer in the rendering (if you don't care for details). cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
