Interesting

It's really amazing all the little things you notice when you do mapping. Most maps I've seen (including my first try) give Bellerive St. going all the way up to connect with George-V Av. However, that street in fact stops at Gonthier Av., oner corner short, and it's connected to George-V via a short service street spur.

Realy, it's not just aren't signaled ?? and since it'sjust a small section in mtl-est with nothing on it they wont bother adding a street signe there... anyway I might see that some time soon.

ps by the way i'm still thinking about the cycling lane on notre-dame...

Oh no, trust me, it's definitely NOT street grade. The difference is very obvious on the ground. It also explains why the cycle goes through Gonthier instead of directly connecting to George-V: as far as the layout goes, Bellerive does not connect to George-V.

The N-D lane is no problem (besides my stupid merge). Are you sure you aren't talking about the connection going through Hector-Saint-Victor and Gonthier? I also checked that, and although there IS stuff painted on the asphalt on Gonthier and Saint-Victor, it is NOT a cycle lane, and the other signalisation is exactly what is identified here as a "designated roadway".

Sorry, I didn't think of doing it at the time, and we have discussed this privately before.

yea it's good like that the only thing is that the cycling renderer will need to show that tag it doesn't seem to do it actually (or maybe it's not yet actualised but I think it should be by now.
