Cycle oriented CartoCSS style.

cyclosm-cartocss-style's Issues

Highway=path/track should be rendered differently than a route

Probably in brownish dotted line, as on osm.org.

There should be no oneway arrows on roads under construction

Typically on the cycleways under construction here https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.87159/2.30159.

Render type=restriction and restriction:bicycle=give_way

More drinking water

Should we render drinking_water= (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:drinking_water)?

Should we render shop=water (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dwater) and shop=beverages (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dbeverages)?

Render highways depending on number of lanes?

Should lanes be rendered somehow?

Render relief

There should be a render of relief and gradient of the streets, even in urban area. Not sure what the best render option could be? Maybe hillshades as overlays?

Render traffic_calming=*

Show hospitals and police icons from Z15

Shelters

We should probably include more shelters. Probably https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:shelter as well as covered (for public transport / bicycle parking). Useful when it's raining :)

Draw military area

https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.86883/2.36411

Render factories

They are easy to spot in the landscape and can be a source of pollution / noise when looking for a place to stay overnight.

Should we render factories? How?

Render cycleway=asl

Render cycle ways with direction

Cycle ways / lanes / tracks should be rendered with an indication of their direction. Typically, https://tiles.phyks.me/#17/48.82218/2.33203 is not very clear as to which cycle way is in the direction of the traffic and which one is contraflow.

• Render directions of cycle ways.
• Render directions of cycle routes (through the backward / forward members)

Lighter pedestrian paths

Pedestrian paths (in red) are too large and strong at the moment, especially in heavily pedestrian areas (inside train stations, areas where sidewalks are drawn separately).

Show natural park

We should show regional / departemental / natural parks as it is done on osm.org: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=8/48.243/5.482.

Cycleway is not drawn on bridges

see bridge at https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.87742/2.36536

highway=cycleway should be the same size as cycleway=track

highway=cycleway should tag the same thing as cycleway=track. Then, they should have the same size.

This is currently not the case, as can be seen here (Avenue des Champs-Élysées vs Avenue de la Grande Armée).

Cycleway should drop the casing of streets

Compare Rue de Vaugirard (with cycleways on both side) and Rue de la Convention (with cycleway on only one side) here.

EDIT: This is probably better actually to loose the casing when there is a cycleway. So Rue de la Convention should be rendered the same as Rue de Vaugirard, not the other way round.

Names of places is absurd

The logic for selecting names for places is absurd at low zoom levels at the moment. See for instance https://tiles.phyks.me/#7/47.750/0.121.

Why would "Boulogne" be shown and not even Paris? :/

What would be the amount of names shown at these low zoom levels? Would https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=7/47.750/0.121 be a good fit? OSM-FR shows a bit too much in my opinion https://tile.openstreetmap.fr/?zoom=7&lat=46.87715&lon=1.70838&layers=B00000000FFFFFF.

Clean displayed texts

Tiles should be fine up to Z12 at the moment.

A lot of texts are displayed above Z12 (especially at Z17), we should do a review and clean them.

Public transports

Check how public transports are rendered. How should they be rendered?

Render highway=steps

Steps are not rendered differently than regular paths at the moment.

Location: https://tiles.phyks.me/#17/48.84285/2.38746

Cycleway is sometimes hidden by closest highway

This can be seen here https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.85332/2.28287 where the cycleway is hidden by the closest highway. This is also the case for the default OSM render https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.85332/2.28287.

This should be easily fixable by enforcing the order of render, so that highway is rendered first and cycleway is drawn on top of it.

Render surface tags?

Should surface tags be rendered (paved/unpaved)? What could be a good way to render this?

Cycleway=shared_lane / opposite_shared_lane

Should cycleway=shared_lane|opposite_shared_lane be rendered? What could be a good render?

Show maxspeed of ways

The maxspeed of the ways should be rendered somehow, especially in urban area. Typically distinguishing between maxspeed=FR:urban (50 km/h) and maxspeed=FR:30 would be super useful.

Not sure about the best render. Possible idea would be to change the background (fill) color of the street based on maxspeed.

Overlapping cycle routes

Overlapping cycle routes should be rendered in a better way. Right now:

• As cycle routes have < 1.0 opacity, they appear stronger when to same type cycle route overlap (stronger blue below).
• Colors are mixed when two different cycle routes types overlap (weird green + blue below).

Location : https://tiles.phyks.me/#17/48.84896/2.36354

Construction

Draw construction highway, and firstly cycleways.

A faded version of the normal style of the highway would be enough I think.

Rework colors of cycle routes / overlapping cycle routes

Currently cycle routes are:

• Green for international routes
• Red for national ones
• Purple for regional ones
• Blue for local ones

This is mostly based on the OpenCycleMap design choices. They might not be optimal:

• EuroVelo roads have multiple colors (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroVelo) so any color is probably fine for international routes.
• Regional and local ones probably differ a lot based on the area, so same, any color is probably fine. Blue and purple is close to the blue color we use everywhere else to indicate cyclability, so should be fine.

However, concerning the national ones, they are usually "voies vertes" in France and the whole communication about them uses the green color https://www.af3v.org/. So red is probably not a good idea for them. Another concern is that red is very far from blue (which indicates cyclability) in the color spectrum and too close to yellow/orange which we use for major highways (which we might want to avoid with a bike).

This is valid for France, of course, but might not for other countries. It seems Germany actually uses red for bike-related stuff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Cycling_Network#/media/File:D-Netz-Route,_Abschnitt_K%C3%B6ln-Poll_,_Rheinaufw%C3%A4rts.jpg.

Render stadium and sports ground

See for instance https://tiles.phyks.me/#17/48.81908/2.34585.

Render wind farms

Indicated as power=generator (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:power%3Dgenerator) and generator:source=wind (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:generator:source%3Dwind).

They are easily to spot in the landscape and source of noise (when looking for a place to stay overnight on a bike trip).

Render food shops

In particular:

• shop=supermarket
• shop=bakery
• shop=convenience
• shop=greengrocer
• shop=pastry

Render repair station and compressed air

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:Tag:amenity%3Dbicycle_repair_station

and https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dcompressed_air

Render MTB routes

MTB routes should be rendered. Typical example is https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/3201448#map=15/48.4726/2.7459&layers=C.

Render bidirectional cycleways

The cycleway in https://tiles.phyks.me/#17/48.84245/2.36672 is bidirectional. However, nothing in the render indicates this.

Traffic lights

We should probably render traffic lights at high zoom levels.

Missing hospital

We should render building=hospital as well https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1259165. They seem to be ignored at the moment https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.88276/2.35272.

Actually this is https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/24026124 which should be rendered and is not rendered in https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.88276/2.35272.

Render elevators and their cyclability

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Delevator.

Lighter render of cycleway at Z12 / Z13

At Z12/Z13, the cycleway tag (on both side of the street) should probably be rendered in a lighter way.

• Maybe we can only render one value, in the middle of the street?
• We should probably discard too short cycleways, to avoid having "blue artifacts"?

Render shop=sports with bicycle services

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dbicycle#Additional_keys

Impossible to generate Z11/Z12 for Paris

Using Tirex, it seems to be impossible to generate tiles at Z11/Z12 covering Paris. We can see these tiles are missing (not updated anymore actually) on https://tiles.phyks.me/#12/48.8588/2.3470.

Tried to let the job run with a very long timeout, not a single tile was generated after 12 hours :/

Render movable bridges

Should be indicated by bridge=movable.

cycleway:left/right not rendered

Add cycle route labels

Labels of cycle routes (or ref) should be shown on the map.

Cycle routes are too transparent at medium/high zoom levels

See https://tiles.phyks.me/#14/48.8653/2.3603

It is very difficult to know where the cycling routes are, they tend to be too transparent.

Bicycle route not rendered on top of highways

See

at #18/48.84086/2.38092.

Render natural elements

We should probably render peaks, passes, herbes, swamps etc.

Don't mix pedestrian / bridleway / … with cycleway rendering

See #41 (comment).

Render barriers which prevent / limit bike access

From time to time, there are some barriers on cycle ways (e.g. to prevent access from scooters) which can make access with a bike very painful / difficult / impossible whenever you have a special bike (velomobile / tandem / etc).

They should be rendered in CyclOSM.

Typical example is https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1912690917.

Parking (or other bicycle POI) may be not be rendered

There is some cases where a parking is not rendered, see :
https://tiles.phyks.me/#18/48.87731/2.36389
node https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/895608360#map=19/48.87745/2.36410&layers=C

I do think that every bicycle related POI should be always visible. It is more important than a road name, or a bus stop, or whatever. Hazard is not welcome here.

We have an example with the bicycle shop Bicycl'Art
