[mkgmap-dev] [PATCH v1] Synthesise cycleways that allow reverse bicycle routing on oneway streets

Tue May 26 08:05:33 BST 2009

Hello cyclists,

Here's a little patch that will synthesise a cycleway that "lies on
top" of an existing oneway street when any of the cycleway="opposite"
tags are present. This will allow bicycle traffic to route in the
reverse direction. I have tested this using mapsource (it worked!) but
not a real GPS yet.

It seems to me that if the cycleway is actually a separate track then
it would be better not to use cycleway="opposite_track" but to have a
separate cycleway in the OSM data.

If the original way was called Foostrasse, the cycleway will be
called "Foostrasse (cycleway)". The word cycleway is hard coded. If
that's an issue for you, feel free to submit a new version of the patch
that localises that word.

Cheers,

Mark
