Hi! Here in NZ, motorways and highways are different things. The Kapiti Expressway, part of State Highway 1, is built out like a motorway, and has separate shared walking & cycling paths. Around here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/479013858 It is also by law a highway where bicycles (and horses, pedestrians etc) are perfectly allowed, on the shoulder. In places the highway is also absolutely the only rideable connection this side of the mountains -- especially between Waikanae and Peka Peka. I.e. there is no separate path here. The effect is that komoot routes bicycles via the Mangaone Walkway where it's not actually allowed to ride. Is there a way to mark the expressway appropriately? Thanks! |

You could simply add (If there's a separate path, that should of course be mapped separately, and looks like it is.) (Oh, hello stranger online. I deleted my comment after realizing I misread his question. )

I think this is the best approach, as there are plenty of countries that do allow pedestrian and bicycle use of motorway shoulders. One of my local Motorways is a specifically classified as a bike route. And tagged as such on OSM.

I see you edited already? You should accept the answer. You may want to check if
=use_sidepathapplies there. Additionally, the shoulder can be tagged withshoulder=left, etc. As for usinghighway=motorwayon NZ's Expressways, you could ask and discuss this with your national community. Something you can look into is a few road sections around Christchurch tagged asmotorroad=yesby someone.Yes I found out how to edit. And I've accepted the answer -- didn't know about that feature.
Here in NZ a highway is not the same as a motorway. Highways are roads of different buildout, maintained by central government, but usable by car, foot, horse, bicycle etc. Motorways are usually highways and then only motorised traffic is allowed. It's a little different from most places :)
Also, there are just a handful of 'expressways' around the country -- not worth another category IMHO
