This page lists recommendations for how to enter and tag bicycle and cycleway related data into OSM. Having good quality cycleway data allows routing software to choose the way that best suits cyclists.

== Cycle features ==

OSM differs between cycle ''lanes'' and cycle ''tracks''. A cycle '''lane''' lies within the roadway itself (on-road), whereas a cycle '''track''' is separate from the road (off-road). Tracks are typically separated from the road by e.g. curbs, parking lots, grass verges, trees, etc.

There are two ways to model cycle tracks. One possibility is to draw separate ways along the roadway which are tagged as {{Tag|highway||cycleway}}. The alternative is to add a {{Tag|cycleway||track}} tag to the existing way. Both methods each have their pros and cons. Notably, a separately tagged cycleway generally allows to capture more detail, while adding a single tag to an existing way takes much less time and in many cases can be as accurate. Both methods are in use today, and there is discussion about when to prefer which method.

'''The tables below with many examples and pictures are for right-hand drive countries.'''

=== Cycle lanes in bidirectional motor car roads ===

A lane marked on a portion of a carriageway (UK), roadway or shoulder (USA), designated for cyclist use.

=== Pedestrian streets ===

{{Tag|highway|footway}} + {{Tag|bicycle||yes}} + {{Tag|barrier|bollard}}

=== Off-road and outdoor ===

Outside of cities and dense populated areas most cyclable routes are mapped using {{tag|highway|track}} and {{tag|highway|path}}. While both imply bicycle=yes in most areas of the world it is difficult for bicycle routers to suggest them as routes because a wide range of conditions (path surface, incline,..) can make them unsuitable for some or all types of bicycles.

Some additional tags that should be used to indicate suitability of such ways for bicycles:

* {{tag|surface}}

* {{tag|smoothness}}

* {{tag|mtb:scale}}

* {{tag|incline}}

* {{tag|class:bicycle}} - when above tags are not enough

== On-Road Cycling (Cycle Friendly Streets) ==

Consider using the following key/values to indicate cycle friendly streets.

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"

|- style="background-color:#c0c0c0"

!| Key

!| Value

!| Purpose

|-

| '''{{Tag|width|}}'''

| <width of road in metres>

| Indicate a wide single lane road or a squeeze point

|-

| '''{{Tag|maxspeed|}}'''

| <speed limit>

| Roads with lower speed limits tend to be less crowded by cars.

|-

| '''{{Tag|source:maxspeed|}}'''

| <countycode:rural/countycode:urban/sign,...>

| Always tag the source of the maxspeed limit!

|-

| '''{{Tag|lanes|}}'''

| <total number of lanes making up the way>

| Single lane wide roads with low speed limits tend to be low-stress routes (but may increase stress for cyclists that want to cycle fast)

|}

== Bicycle Restrictions ==

{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"

|- style="background-color:#c0c0c0"

!| Key

!| Value

!| when to use

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| yes

|Where bicycles are permitted, overriding default access (such as to motorways that permit bicycles as commonly found in western parts of North America)

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| designated

| Where a way has been specially [[Tag:access%3Ddesignated|designated ]](typically by a government) for bicycle use

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| [[Tag:bicycle=use_sidepath|use_sidepath]]

| Where cycling on the main road is legally discouraged because of a parallel compulsory cycle track. Check with local laws.

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| no

| Where bicycles are not permitted, ensure this is indicated

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| permissive

|Where bicycles do not have a legal right-of-way, but the land owner has indicated that bicycles are allowed

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| destination

| Where bicycles have a legal right-of-way, but only if their destination is within that street or area

|-

| '''bicycle'''

| dismount

|Where cycling is not allowed on short sections of signposted cycleroutes (typically in the UK on narrow bridges and underpasses which are shared with pedestrians), there are usually signs saying "Cyclists dismount". These have been tagged as follows (28 838+ uses as of 2014-06-05) [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/9158 Lower acceptance than other values], as of 2014-04-09 still not added in JOSM

|-

| '''oneway:bicycle'''

| yes/no

|Instead of, or in addition to, using cycleway=opposite*, you can use oneway:bicycle to identify roads where the oneway rules for cyclists differ from the general oneway restriction. If tagging an object where bicycles are the only permitted vehicles, a simple {{tag|oneway| }} is also commonly used.

|}

See also [[OSM tags for routing/Access-Restrictions]] for the default restrictions by highway type (and country-specific rules).
