RU:Bicycle

Note the german version of this page is a big "portal" related to bicycle mapping

This is a list of suggestions for how to enter and tag bicycle and cycleway related data into OSM. No two cyclists will ever agree what constitutes a good cycle route. Cyclists can seek out anything from only off-road routes to the quickest route on a multi-lane highway. Some want a flat commute, while others seek out hills for a recreational challenge. This is the strength of OSM. It can capture the cycling relevant data as possible, and each cyclist can choose the way that best suits.

Cycle features

Lanes and tracks are represented and tagged differently in OSM. A track is separate from the road (off-road) and a lane lies within the roadway (on-road). It is recommended ^{[ citation needed ]} by some to draw separate ways if tracks are divided by parking lanes or grass verges, ignoring the track semantics, while others support the intended use of highway=* + cycleway=track (or the more specific cycleway:right=track and cycleway:left=track).

The tables below with many examples and pictures are for right-drive countries.

Cycle lanes in bidirectional motor car roads

A lane marked on a portion of a carriageway (UK), roadway or shoulder (USA), designated for cyclist use.

Ref	Context	Photo	OSM	Description
L1a				Cycle lanes on left and right sides of the road. Way A : highway=* + cycleway=lane (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + cycleway:left=lane + cycleway:right=lane or Way A : highway=* + cycleway:both=lane
L1b				Bidirectional cycle lane on right side of the road. Way A : highway=* + cycleway=lane (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + cycleway:right=lane
L2				Oneway cycle lane on right side of the road only. Way A : highway=* + cycleway:right=lane (nb: bikes can use the normal highway on the left side)

Cycle lanes in oneway motor car roads

Ref	Context	Photo	OSM	Description	Example
M1				Cycle lanes on left and right sides of the oneway road. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:left=lane + cycleway:right=lane (+ cycleway:left:oneway=-1 + cycleway:right:oneway=yes) (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway=lane + oneway:bicycle=no
M2a				Oneway cycle lane on right side and same direction of the oneway road. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:right=lane (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway=lane
M2b				Oneway cycle lane on left side and same direction of the oneway road. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:left=lane (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway=lane	72068274 72068274
M2c				Oneway cycle lane in the direction as the oneway road, between driving lanes. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + lanes=2 + ? or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + lanes=2 + cycleway=lane
M2d				Cycle lanes on left side. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:left=lane + oneway:bicycle=no	145565058 145565058
M3a				Oneway cycle lane on opposite way of the oneway road. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:left=lane + cycleway:left:oneway=-1 (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:left=lane + oneway:bicycle=no
M3b				Oneway cycle lane on opposite way of the oneway road. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:right=lane + cycleway:right:oneway=-1 (recommended) or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:right=lane + oneway:bicycle=no
M4			(recommended)	Oneway cycle lane on right side of separated oneway roads. Way A : same as M2 Way B : same as M2
				Alternative tagging for less accurate traces / aerials. Way A : same as L1a
M5			(recommended)	Oneway cycle lane on right side of a separated oneway road. Way A : same as M2 Way B : highway=* + oneway=yes
				Alternative tagging for less accurate traces / aerials. Way A : same as L2

Cycle tracks

Road (UK) or path (USA, Canada) dedicated to cyclists on separate right of way.

Ref	Context	Photo	OSM	Description
T1				Cycle tracks on left and right sides of the road. Way A : highway=* Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes Way C : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes
			(recommended)	An alternative solution when the track position is not well known (e.g. surveyed from a car) is to add the information on the main way : Way A : highway=* + cycleway=track
T2			(recommended) [ citation needed ]	Bidirectional cycle track right side of the road. Way A : highway=* Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=no
				Like T1, it is possible to reuse the main highway element: Way A : highway=* + cycleway=track
T3			(recommended) [ citation needed ]	Bidirectional cycle track right side of the one way road. Way A : highway=*+ oneway=yes Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=no
				Bidirectional cycle track right side of the one way road. Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway:right=track + oneway:bicycle=no

Miscellaneous

Ref	Context	Photo	OSM	Description
S1				Cycling opposite to the oneway car traffic without dedicated lane/track (in some countries only). Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + oneway:bicycle=no or Way A : highway=* + oneway=yes + cycleway=opposite
S2			(recommended)	Cycle track on left side and cycle lane on right side of the road. Way A : highway=* + cycleway:right=lane + oneway:bicycle=yes Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes
				Way A : highway=* + cycleway:left=track + cycleway:right=lane
S3			(recommended)	If sidewalks are considered as implied and simplicity kept (recommended for autorouting): Way A : highway=* + cycleway=track + segregated=yes
				Cycle tracks on left and right sides of the road and sidewalks. If sidewalks are considered as implied with the main highway: Way A : highway=* Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes Way C : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes
				If sidewalks are not considered as implied: Way A : highway=* Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes + foot=designated + segregated=yes Way C : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes + foot=designated + segregated=yes
S4				Easiest (and correct solution for autorouting) Way A : highway=* + cycleway=track + segregated=yes + foot=designated
			(recommended)	Cycle tracks on left and right sides of the road and the sidewalks/footways. Way A : highway=* Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes + foot=designated + segregated=yes Way C : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes + foot=designated + segregated=yes
				Alternative solution with 5 ways in OSM : Way A : highway=* Way B : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes Way C : highway=footway Way D : highway=cycleway + oneway=yes Way E : highway=footway

Cycle lanes and bus/taxi lanes

Ref	Context	Photo	OSM	Description
B1				Cycle lanes on left and right sides of the road with a bus/taxi only lane. Proposal (no consensus): Using the suffix for Lanes: Way A : highway=* + lanes=3 + lanes:forward=2 + access:lanes=*no|yes|yes|no|no + bicycle:lanes=*designated|yes|yes|designated|yes + bus:lanes=*no|yes|yes|no|designated + taxi:lanes=*no|yes|yes|no|designated Note: the suffix :lanes could be used for all the other examples too, but is used usually only in situations where it is not possible to tag the layout of the lanes with other tags.
B2				Cycle lanes on left and right sides of the road after a bus/taxi only lane in right side. Proposal (no consensus): Way A : highway=* + lanes=3 + lanes:forward=2 + lanes:bus:forward=1 + busway:right=lane + cycleway=lane
B3				Cycle lane on left side of the road and a shared cycle lane with a bus/taxi lane in right side.. Proposal (no consensus): Way A : highway=* + busway:right=lane + cycleway:left=lane + cycleway:right=share_busway or Proposed_features/shared_lane
B4				Cycle track shared with a bus/taxi track in right side of the road. Proposal (no consensus): Way A : highway=service + service=bus + oneway=yes + cycleway:right=share_busway Way B : assuming for bicycle and buses there is an obligation to use Way A in forward directions (of way A) : highway=* + oneway:bus=yes + oneway:bicycle=yes assuming bicycles may use Way B in both directions : highway=*
B5				Cycle lane shared with a bus/taxi lane on right side of the road (in some countries only). Proposal (no consensus): Way A : highway=* + lanes=4 + lanes:bus:forward=1 + busway:right=lane + cycleway:right=share_busway
B6				Cycle lane shared with a bus/taxi lane in opposite direction of the oneway road. Proposal (no consensus): Way A : highway=* + cycleway:left=share_busway + busway=opposite_lane + oneway=yes + oneway:bicycle=no or Way A : highway=* + cycleway:left=share_busway + busway=lane + oneway=yes + oneway:bus=no + oneway:bicycle=no

On-Road Cycling (Cycle Friendly Streets)

Consider using the following key/values to indicate cycle friendly streets.

Key	Value	Purpose
width=*	<width of road in metres>	Indicate a wide single lane road or a squeeze point
maxspeed=*	<speed limit>	Roads with lower speed limits tend to be less crowded by cars.
source:maxspeed=*	<countycode:rural/countycode:urban/sign,...>	Always tag the source of the maxspeed limit!
lanes=*	<total number of lanes making up the way>	Single lane wide roads with low speed limits tend to be low-stress routes (but may increase stress for cyclists that want to cycle fast)

Ограничения для велосипедов

Ключ	Значение	Использование
bicycle	yes	Там, где движение на велосипедах разрешено, несмотря на ограничения по умолчанию для данного вида highway или данной территории (как в случае с автомагистралями, по которым разрешено движение на велосипедах, в западных районах Северной Америки)
bicycle	designated	Там, где путь был специально организован (обычно органами власти) для движения велосипедов (designated )
bicycle	no	Там, где движение на велосипедах не допускается (убедитесь, что это явно обозначено)
bicycle	permissive	Where bicycles do not have a legal right-of-way, but the land owner has indicated that bicycles are allowed
bicycle	destination	Where bicycles have a legal right-of-way, but only if their destination is within that street or area
bicycle	dismount	Where cycling is not allowed on short sections of signposted cycleroutes (typically in the UK on narrow bridges and underpasses which are shared with pedestrians), there are usually signs saying "Cyclists dismount". These have been tagged as follows (300+ uses as of 2010-08-15)
oneway:bicycle	yes/no	Instead or in addition to using cycleway=opposite* nominatim, you can use oneway:bicycle to identify roads where the oneway rules for cyclists differ from the generel oneway restriction. Note that currently bicycle:oneway=no and oneway:bicycle=no are both often used and both documented on various places on the wiki. Until there are more certain rules, expect renderers for cycling to support both

See also OSM tags for routing/Access-Restrictions for the default restrictions by highway type (and country-specific rules).

All values : Key:access.

Facilities

Where there are facilities to lock up a bicycle or rent/hire bicycles, use:

Ключ	Значение
amenity	bicycle_parking
amenity	bicycle_rental

Для магазинов, продающих велосипеды и велозапчасти, аксессуары:

Ключ	Значение
shop	bicycle
