but you are allowed to cycle on the busway from Murdishaw to the hospital.

I don't think cycling is allowed on that stretch of busway. Do you know if the council is proposing to change that?

Are you sure cyclists are prohibited from riding across the bridge?

You are the one making an argument - I just pointed out that the cycle track you had mapped did not exist. And corrected the map - I live here after all. You could have simply let it be (or perhaps apologised for the mistake), but you continued not only to post multiple times arguing the toss, but editing the map again to put the non-existent path back.

You may well think it ought to be a cycle track - and actually I would be in agreement with you and long ago asked the council to do this. But the map has to relflect the world as it is - not how you would like it to be.

Further note: I have long been aware of the absence of the dropped kerb to access Black Bear park from Kingsway:

But that does not make pavement cycling legal.

No it doesn't.

That is a DIRECTION sign. The sign for a shared use footway is a circular blue sign with an image of a cycle and a pedestrian: Either one above the other for unsegregated shared use or side by side for segregated. Please familiarise yourself with the highway code before making any further changes to the map.

So do I. The footway isn't shared.

There is no cycle track across Kingsway Bridge. There was a temporary coned cycle lane, but that was removed after a couple of weeks.

Not that riding a horse or a moped up that very narrow cycle path would be sensible.

I think the -1 means opposite (which seems to be the only way to get a green arrow on open cycle map). In any case I st the whole thing as 2-way, which applies to most classes of user - and buses can only get in at one end.

I normally leave pedestrian and equestrian tags for cycleways as the default - the exception being the the ones to the south which specifically allow horses and mopeds.

The cycle prohibition only seems to apply to the northbound carriageway of the A5103. The only bit cyclists are banned from southbound is the M60 link road (the bus lane is only for busses). tags changed to reflect this. Busway changed to an access road.

I cannot find any tags that would ban through motor traffic.

I can't see any tags that would prohibit through motor traffic on the A 5130.

OSM default for what it classes as "trunk" roads (which is different from UK definition) is "unknown".

I removed the cycleway because there is no cycleway.

But the previous tagging - bicycle=no - was wrong and needed correcting.

Also checking the route of the cycle path navigating the A683 Eastwards (Morcambe-> Caton). After stopping for TWELVE separate signal crossings you are dumped on the slip road for the Motorway - so not a viable route in any case. I have added cycling=yes to that stretch of slip road so at least the route is available for west bound cyclists with plenty of time on their hands.

Unfortunately, while the "default" is for cyclists to be able to use the roads, there are a growing number of roads where cycling is being prohibited, so it is necessary to tag main roads to keep track of this.

Fortunately, in the UK there is no obligation to ride on the pavement just because it has been designated for use by bicycles - in the same way motorists are still allowed to drive on the A6 even though there is a parallel motorway explicitly mapped for motors..

I think it must have been this one:

Note the sign with a cycle surrounded by a red circle - this means NO CYCLING. You would be better trying to persuade the council to allow it rather than get cyclestreets to recommend illegal routes.

Which particular path are you refering to?

Whatever a "motorroad" is cycling is permitted on this stretch of the oxford bypass - so it can't be one. Cycling is prohibited on part of the eastern bypass.

Changed back - but the designation is historic. These roads do not form part of Warrington's primary network anymore and are not signed on the ground.
