Description
This tag is used to describe the specific characteristic of a cycleway, when the cycleway is shared with another highway feature.
Values
- lane
- A lane is a route that lies within the roadway.
- track
- A track is a route that is not on a road. This value is redundant (highway=cycleway or highway=path should be used instead.)
- opposite_lane
- The route is a lane, but bicycles may go in the direction opposite of other traffic. Only applies where oneway=yes.
- opposite_track
- The track may be cycled in the direction opposite of other traffic.
- opposite
- The route may be cycled in the direction opposite of other traffic, but does not have a dedicated lane. Note - such streets are common in Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark, for example, but are rare in the UK (although they do exist): often, instead, actually the street is two-way as normal for its whole length except for the very short section past the no-entry sign at the end, where cycles are excepted from the no-entry by means of a short lane separated by an island. This is called a "cycle plug". In some places this has been represented as very short oneway Way at the end with an adjacent cycleway, forming a little triangle with the road they join to.
- User-defined
- see Tagwatch for some other commonly-used values.
