Of the 1971 voters in this election, 740 cast ballots. Craig Allan, Maurizio Napolitano, Laura Mugeha, and Héctor Ochoa Ortiz are the winners after counting the ballots using Scottish STV.

We have bike routes all over, and they are signed with something as shown.

But most of these will have a bike lane or sharrows along with the Bike Route signs.

However, I ran into one road that doesn't, it's just signed.

What's the best way to tag these roads? I don't want to cause confusion, but these unpainted (but signed) roads do actually lead to/from better cycling infrastructure, so they should be known.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the input, guys. Having looked into this further, I'm comfortable using the designated tag, at least for this specific road.

My municipality is a bit bipolar with their application of these signs. Most are signed as bike routes with toad markings, but a few are signed only.

Because these "bike routes" connect to more significant cycling infrastructure, I think its more than valid to tag them as “designated” as opposed to "yes" (which would be pretty much every road).

To add even more confusion to the situation, the official Cycling infrastructure map for my municipality seems to not include several areas that have both bike route signs and road markings, so i will ask them if the data is just lagging or if it needs to be updated.

So, unless there's a critical reason why the "designated" tag shouldn't be used in this context, I will leave it at that.

I'm on Street Complete and I'm trying to differentiate between Concrete, Concrete slabs, and concrete lanes. There's a walkway that's just a normal concrete walkway, I didn't know there were so many designations for this.

I know that is at first a geo database but has anyone build a better web ui where i can plan routes with public transport just like on google maps

Edit: I have found one which works for me: Mapy.cz it isn't open source but that wasn't a requirement

How do I make an office appear on OpenCycleMap?

The local representation of the German Cyclists' Association has an entry on OpenStreetMap and has tools and an air pump for cyclists on site.
We would like the association to appear on OpenCycleMap as well. For this purpose, both service:bicycle:pump=yes and service:bicycle:repair=yes have been set for the node.
It's been more than a week since the according changes were made - unfortunately I still can't see the location in OpenCycleMap. Any ideas what to do?

made my first #opendata contributions to @openstreetmap@en.osm.town yesterday. Pull request dopamine AND alternative reality game dopamine? Sign me up

(#foss @organicmaps is terrific both at navigation and mapping)

@openstreetmap A while ago I've seen a before-after screenshot command line tool for osm mentioned somewhere but I cannot find it anymore.
I believe it was written in python.
Does anyone know the name of the tool in question?

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

Just a super quick question about helping to update the map locations.

Between StreetComplete and Organic Maps, which is faster for submitting recommended changes to the OSM team in regards to things like business hours, etc...

Some really cool transit map generation from OSM data. There's an online demo you can play with here.

One shows only a few shops, often the ones that pay the most, the other shows the true number of different places in the area.
