WikiProject United Kingdom London Cycle Network

From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

An OSM Project to map London's Cycle Network. The network is co-ordinated by TFL, Sustrans, the London Cycling Campaign, CTC and Camden Borough Council.

The network is incomplete and not all routes are numbered.

CycleLayer2.png
An international cycling map created from OSM data is available, provided by Andy Allan. The map rendering is still being improved, the data are updated every few days. It shows National Cycle Network cycle routes, other regional and local routes, and other cycling-specific features, such as:
  • dedicated cycle tracks and lanes
  • contours and hill colouring
  • bicycle parking
  • bike shops, toilets, drinking fountains, even pubs!
  • proposed bike routes (or numbering protocols), contrasted with the Lonvia map, below, which does not show proposed routes, but actual routes only

http://www.opencyclemap.org/

Waymarked Trails: Cycling by Sarah Hoffman is a layer superimposed over mapnik (Standard Map Layer) which shows marked cycle routes around the world. Updated minutely, it renders actual routes without the state=proposed tag. Therefore no proposed routes (or proposed numbering protocols) are displayed.

Tagging

The London Cycle Network shall be mapped as relations, due to shared sections.

For all relations:

type=route
route=bicycle
network=lcn

If numbered (replace xx with appropriate number):

name=London Cycle Network Route xx
ref=xx

If not numbered:

name=London Cycle Network
description=(Insert route description here: e.g. Hackney Road to Cable Street via Whitechapel.)

See Cycle routes for the full tagging guide (although the above sufficies for the LCN).

Tagging for route generation

For routing it's particularly helpful if the LCN routes are tagged continuously and any special facilities such as contraflow lanes (cycleway=opposite_lane) are tagged. More generally, the better the OSM map becomes the better the routing will be, of course.

Camden Cycling Campaign is offering an experimental facility to plan cycle routes in London using the OSM database. (Only central and inner north London at present, but if it's successful we'll expand it. The routes are generated by a very clever program developed by Cambridge Cycling Campaign). To try the OSM-based London route planner use the Plan a Route... button on the: Camden maps.

Route Description Mapped Notes Map link or relation
CS2 Stratford to Aldgate 100% Fully mapped from Bow roundabout to Aldgate (Phase 1 - opened Summer 2011), and from Stratford to Bow (Phase 2 - opened Nov 2013). Full proposal was originally for CS2 to extend further east along A118 to Ilford Hill [1]
CS3 Barking (River Road) to Tower Gateway 100% Cycle Superhighway CS3, fully mapped Tower Gateway to Barking [2]
CS7 Merton (River Wandle) to City 73% Mapped between Tooting Bec and City [3]

5 Edgware-Chelsea Bridge - Streatham 40% Northern part almost to Hyde Park complete-- then between Hyde Park and Chelsea Bridge partly done, but surveys needed -- someone else has done part south of Thames --Jean Dollimore 16:03, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

North of Hyde Park may have moved from Edgware Road to Seymour Place (10 July 2010)

The mapped route from Hyde Park to north seems very suspicious, there are very long stretches with no signs whatsoever, especially north of North Circular (3 Sep 2010)

13 Canning Town - Barking - Rainham 75% Mapped Canning Town to Barking (River Road). The rest of the route east is intermittent, broadly following the old A13 (A1306) to the Greater London border. In places this also forms part of NCN 13 [11], which goes even further east & west [12]

Please check if the route Camden-Victoria Park is valid. I understand LCN 16 runs mainly along The Greenway, and any route further west than Parnell Road was only proposed (Old Ford Road, Sewardstone Road, Hackney Road to join LCN 9 [13] [14]
