Orange and purple lines in Cycle MapFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

Hi David,

I went to OSM to find out more about the Cycle Map and here is what I found:

No idea why the key is in French, even though my OSM is in English.
The words are nearly the same, but just for good measure:

International cycle route
National cycle route
Regional cycle route
Local cycle route
MTB route
Numbered route junction

Regarding arrowheads, do you mean this?

Translation:
Two-way street for bicycles (one-way for cars)
Designated cycle route

I hope this helps.
Regards,
Julien

Hi - can anyone tell me what the various coloured lines in the Cycle Map mean?

According to the map key, there are Red, Cyan and Blue lines, but I don't see any Cyan lines at all.  I do have Red and Blue lines, but there are also loads of Magenta and Orange lines.

I saw a forum message which says that the Orange ones are mountain bike routes.  But what do the Magenta ones mean?

And some routes have arrow-heads printed all along them.  What does that indicate?
