Oh cool! I saw some signs in Ermsdorf and Medernach last week and thought I should follow them :-)

Hello.

I found some of your edits where you use designated instead of destination:
motor_vehicle = designated means this sign: https://www.iamexpat.de/sites/default/files/sitefiles_2021-03/federal-highway-entrance.png (which doesn't exist in Luxembourg): C,2 sign (red circle: means restricted)
By setting designated, you invite motorists to drive there.

Thank you for being careful. :-)

LOL @ the comment "this is farmland, even if kewl cycles through it". I did my survey and 7 months later I was about to delete that imaginary track :-)

Did they forbid bicycle access on this track? 😭

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply; I didn't get the notifications in my Inbox. And sorry to cause trouble, but let me explain why:
- I've been exploring a lot (cycled 29000 km in 2020) and many times my experience was ruined by some incomplete mapping data:
1. there are many ways which have more than one role, and depending of your point of view they are one type of highway or another. For example, osm.org/way/23925793; screenshots here: https://g.kewl.lu/index/category/529-catchall <- it's considered as a driveway to an equestrian centre for some people, but since it's used for farming it's also a paved track, and additionally it's part of a bicycle route (which is called locally cycleway and also leads to confusion); (I excluded the fact that this way is also part of a hiking route). When visually looking at a map, service roads do not appear unless we zoom in, and if you want to include them on a larger map it becomes cluttered and we often can't see anything. The idea behind is to render a map that includes service roads that are also suitable for low mobility transit.
2. some ways that are in fact private properties but not tagged as such; in average every second time I went exploring I ended up in front of a gate) and I'm trying to sort out which ones I haven't been verified. Unless we could import private tags to a way I don't see how to do it and continue exploring and verifying ways. So I thought of testing with service roads which are part of cycling routes; I've done most of them but I can't guarantee that someone hasn't changed the route compared to the one onsite.
3. Some of the ways on cycling routes are restricted to motorised traffic and are usually tagged with access=destination and also many were missing bicycle=yes (and foot=yes); therefore bike routing avoids the cycling route unless a waypoint is set on it.
That's the reason I did this changeset. Sorry for the annoyance but otherwise I have no idea how I could improve the mapping quality. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

Is the park (osm.org/way/880422579) a park or just someone's garden?

Looks OK

Oh yes! thanks for the reminder ;-)

A little bit, but it goes to the stargazing point I mentioned last weekend, so it's worth the effort ;-)
