Is there any way to tag portion of streets where cycling is allowed but could be considered as dangerous (narrow tunnel where cars go at 50 km/h or more for example)? Example: http://g.co/maps/pbwc asked 05 Sep '11, 21:26 Mathieu Marquer |
Currently (sept 2011), there is no consensus about tagging dangerous roads for bikers. First, it is some personnal judgment - some would say "subjective stuff". What "Person A" biking with children considers as "dangerous" could be considered as "safe" for Person B driving alone with an mtb, etc. I know two approaches about this topic : create a scale with numbers or values like "cycle:hazardous=1..5" or "hazard:bicycle=dangerous" (see the taginfo tool for some statistics). But this solution remains subjective even if you provide a detailed description for each value. You can also search on the mailing lists archives (searching keywords like "bicycle=no", bike+hazard, etc) and check the different ideas/proposals around this question (for instance, this one). If you are convinced by one of the proposed solution, just use it. Even better, you can create a proposal on the wiki and call for a review on the main mailing lists (talk@ or tagging@openstreetmap.org) Don't use "bicycle=no" which is only for legal restriction. answered 06 Sep '11, 13:33 Pieren |
