Mapping Cycling Paths in Istanbul

Posted by asturksever on 18 June 2020 in English. Last updated on 1 August 2022.

According to IBB Municipality dataset, Istanbul has 183.10 km cycleways and 37 km shared cycleways. Only 46 km cycleways were mapped on OpenStreetMap. These 183.10 km cycleways are in pretty good condition however it is only a drop in the ocean in for metropolitan city to become a cycling-friendly.

I’ve created a Maproulette task to complete cycleways in Istanbul. 142 tasks needed to be mapped on OpenStreetMap. I’ve collected street-level imagery alongside cycleways around old town and enjoy the nice weather.
