That's what the sign says - or did 2 years ago when I surveyed it.

The law is the only relevant issue in determining whether cycling is permitted here.
Cycling is prohibited so cycling=no is correct.

Are you sure about the 1mph speed limit on the slip road from Chadderton Way leading to the Audi dealer?

Of course once you have mapped a separate pavement then cycle access is totally uncontroversial from the perspective of law abiding citizens.

THE LAW - Highway Code Rule 64
You MUST NOT cycle on a pavement.

OSM - cycling=no
Indicates that riding bicycle is not allowed.

The best way to map pavements is as to use sidewalk tags on the highway - In the real world pedestrians can cross the road anywhere the like rather than just at the fictional "crossings" that mappers have to include to make the pavement reachable at all.

Richard: The issue here is not footpaths or public rights of way where a landowner may or may not permit cycling, but pavements where cycling is prohibited by law.

You claim that cycle routers will not send cyclists along footways by choice - but then go on to describe situations where cycle routers choose to do exactly that.

OSM must reflect the world as it is not how you wish it was.

The law is clear that cycling on pavements is prohibited; there is no exception for disabled people or children.

And when folk rely on personal abuse to make a point it is a sure sign that their argument is without merit.

Can you please stop your repeated vandalism.

Cycling on the pavement is ILLEGAL in the UK.
