Decomposition

Is there any reason a mapper shouldn’t tag both cycleway:left=* and cycleway:right=* instead of just cycleway:both=*? Is there a reason why a mapper should be able to tag both cycleway:both=* and cycleway:right=* intentionally? – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 05:18, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Personally, I would prefer if we where to migrate towards explit left/right tags and consider the "both" a shorthand that should be updated. However, I don't see any chance to get a consensus on this at this point. However, I encorage someone to feel the water on this to see if it would be possible to make this a successfull proposal.--Tordans (talk) 10:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

No, both and left/right together should never happen (same as cycleway=* + cycleway:*=*). I understand the status quo that we accept this and rely on validation tooling to fix those cases. Since iD does not recognise cycleway:both I would expect quite a few places where this happens. --Tordans (talk) 10:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that was supposed to be a wiki link. It is fixed now. --Tordans (talk) 10:54, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
