Yes, absolutely true. Nevertheless, if all of this knowledge is hidden in some thread somewhere deep in forums, then for practical purposes it's not visible. The editor's defaults should support this better.

I don't mind either way, as long as the editor supports this scheme with reasonable defaults. Otherwise you will just be fighting the results all the time, exactly like this thread here.

I'm fine with whatever scheme there is, as long as the routing isn't totally broken and the scheme itself is documented somewhere. I was not aware that there is a community of users that dis-approve defaults from iD / Every Door that i was using to fix the issues.

Early this summer it was routing me on main car roads and then via the running paths covered with wood pulp. Total nonsense. I used the OSRM routing debugger and fixed the parts it got wrong. I worked on the data until I got the routing to be safe, then left it alone.

I will re-check this after you have finished your rollbacks and the routers have had the chance to update their datasets.

Removed leftover

I was just using iD editor defaults and it seems your preferences are simply different. Not much discussion on the community thread and I don't have preference really as long as routing isn't broken. My edits fixed the routing issues, so I hope they don't come back now.

While you are right about the law, then the reality on these roads says otherwise. Most people prefer the dedicated bike paths here since they are much safer. Car roads have almost no space for bikes here in Viimsi. I was only adding this tag to prevent the routing from placing me on the car road every time. I have personally spent quite a bit of effort to fix the routing issues during this summer and I would hate it to see it broken again.
