I think it should be implied & bicycle=yes > added if they are allowed. My opinion: Explicit is better than implicit. Bicycle=no seems to be the logical default, but there's nothing wrong (and something good) about distinguishing "we haven't checked so we assume the default" from "we have checked, and indeed the default applies". However, you might want to ask him where he gets the information from. If the answer is "all British motorways forbid bicycles", then it's not a good action, by claiming an amount of certainty that we do not actually have. -- André Engels, andreeng...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
