When a road has different cycling facilities in each direction

[YaroShkvorets]

Do we handle this somehow? I guess we should take into account the worse of the two.

For example, O'Connor South of 417 has cycleway=shared_lane NB and cycleway=lane SB: https://maps.bikeottawa.ca/lts-map/?&lat=45.40771305197882&lng=-75.68707579843912&id=way/591035923

It has LTS-1 but IMO should be LTS-2. Is it because the model thinks there is a dedicated lane on either side?

cycleway=shared_lane should not add any weight probably? Every road is a shared lane really. (it is not required to use the dedicated bike lanes).

[YaroShkvorets]

Probably, yes

The model currently looks to see if a cycleway=lane is present in order to classify the way as "having a bike lane". Then it applies the rules for the bike lane such as speed, #lanes, parking, etc. to determine the LTS level. In the above case, it doesn't really make any difference if the cycleway=shared_lane tag is there or not.

If we take a worse case approach, then we have to ignore any cycleway:left or cycleway:right tags unless they are both there (and then it's going to get tricky depending on the tag value).

When I did the CRD (Victoria, BC) bike map, we would default to the lower comfort/separation when it came to these situations. We figured that it be better for somebody to come across a bike lane and be pleasantly surprised than the other way around.
