I see that quite a few major roads in Ontario are getting paved shoulders, plenty wide enough for cyclists, despite not being marked as bike lanes/routes.
An example of this is HWY7/12 in Port Perry - all new shoulders.
There is a tag: cycleway=shoulder, which gives me reason to think that we should be doing this.
What say you guys?
Update: Bike Ottawa has some guidance on the matter. I’ll be using the cycleway=soulder tag for roads that have SMOOTH and WIDE shoulders that would work well for cyclists.
Paved shoulders usable by cyclists are a feature in the StreetComplete app so I’d say go for it! Thanks for sharing the Bike Ottawa guidelines.
