Motorcycling - Other languages
About this Page
The goal of this page is to help create OSM maps from a motorcyclists perspective.
This page is an adaption of the mtb version that started the topic.
There are also attempts to tag motorcycle routes (legal gravel tracks) outside OSM, an example is the TET [[1]].
General Tags for ways that are suitable for motorcycling, but not directly related as such

If motorcycling is possible add route=motorcycle
|
| motorcycle=yes/no/designated/private/permissive/destination/dismount/unknown
|
Are motorcycles allowed? This is a legal question.
Also see motor_vehicle=*.
|
| width=<Meter>
|
Width of way
|
| surface=ground/sand/stone/gravel/grass/dirt
|
| smoothness=excellent to impassable
|
Classification scheme regarding the physical usability of a way for wheeled vehicles.
|
| tracktype=grade1 to grade5
|
Surface firmness, usually used on highway=track.

Difficulty grading for routes and trails. Based on the German Denzel-Alpenstraßen-Skala [[2]]
|
key:motorcycle:scale
|
Approved for mtb, adapted for motorcycle
|
Additional tags if a way is part of a motorcycle Route / Relation
Note a specific network=* is not defined for motorcycle routes.
Use distance/ascent/descent/roundtrip instead to better classify a route.

comment
|
| route=motorcycle
|
consistency with motorcycle routes.
|
| ref=R811,...
|
Reference of the way if any.
|
| name=TET France,Sommeiller...
|
name of the route.
|
| distance=distance in km |
The distance covered by this route, if known. For information of users and automatic evaluation e.g. of completeness. If no unit is given km is assumed (else use e.g. 25miles)
|
| ascent=ascent in m |
The ascent covered by a route in meters (for other units use e.g. 600feet). If a route has start and end point at different altitude use descent too
|
| descent=descent in m |
The descent covered by a route in meters(for other units use e.g. 100feet). Use it only if it differs from the ascent (different altitude at start/endpoint of a route).
|
| roundtrip=yes/no |
Use roundtrip=no to indicate that a route goes from A to B, instead of being circular (roundtrip=yes).
