Hello,

I've been using "Prefer byways" a lot in order to stay away from main roads while cycling. Worked like a charm.

Recently (not sure which update), with the same option, I am permanently routed along bicycle=lane even if it's a heavy trunk road 90km/h with a narrow bicycle lane drawn next to it.

If there is no bicycle=lane on a big road, the router clearly will not pick the big road as expected.

Is there a way to avoid bicyle=lane on major roads ?

Thanks,

Filip.

Hello, Filu! Thank you for the feedback.
Could you please provide coordinates of the road so we could test it.

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply.

The specific examples are from 50.7980 3.8997 to 50.8157 3.8267

or 50.8157 3.8267 to 50.8755, 3.7329

With the standard "prefer byways" settings I was routed along the main east/west road running thru Lierde, while (I believe) OSM should have picked smaller roads, despite the cycleway=lane tag present on the main one.
