Dataset description

The data comes from OSM according to the scheme described in the package leaflet (Notice_amenagements_cyclables.pdf). The data shall contain all mandatory elements expected in the [National Cycle Scheme] (https://schema.data.gouv.fr/etalab/schema-amenagements-cyclables/). However, to obtain the cycling development data in the format of the national scheme, it is possible to use <https://transport.data.gouv.fr/datasets/amenagements-cyclables-france-metropolitaine/> or <https://geodatamine.fr/> The Cycle Routes data comes from the free and open OpenStreetMap (OSM) database [©OSM contributors] (https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright). For the most recent data, quality control and prior validation is carried out by the Mission Vélo de la Ville de Paris via the quality control tool ‘[LeBonTag](https://www.lebontag.fr/about/)’. **Content of the dataset** The choice of the city of Paris is to define as a cycle route each of the lanes and / or directions of circulation which, while being authorized for bicycles, is in forbidden or restricted access for other users (excluding bike paths). Lanes and directions of traffic shared by default between motor vehicles and cyclists are not represented in this dataset. Points of attention: **1- in some cases, two different arrangements are superimposed (e.g.: bicycle lane on the right and left side of the lane).** **2- this is a complete extraction by export date. To obtain the linear length at a given date, it should therefore be filtered against a given export date.** Description of the type of fitting-out: Typology | Description | Points of attention ---|---|--- Bicycle path | Lane reserved for cyclists, physically separated from the rest of the general traffic In the woods in particular, certain statuses between bike path / greenway / lane closed to general traffic may be ambiguous. This type of layout is very well followed by contributors with updates in the week following the opening of new layouts Green lane | Autonomous communication channel reserved for non-motorized travel, such as pedestrians and bicycles. Authorized users share the same roadway Apart from the woods, this status is little used in Paris. Cycling strip | Lane reserved for cyclists on a roadway open to other motorized modes | Some bike lanes fade over time. Bicycle crossroads two-way "primers" are sometimes interpreted as bicycle lanes Bus corridor | Lane reserved for buses and certain categories of vehicles. Authorisation for cyclists to use it takes the form of bicycle logos on the ground or bicycle signs | Most bus lanes are open to bicycles in Paris. Lane closed to general traffic | Lane where access to motor vehicles is restricted to operational requirements | The status of these routes may be ambiguous between: \- Pedestrian area/pedestrian path \- The Greenway Double-way single cycle In a one-way lane for motorized vehicles (presence of direction prohibited), authorization for cyclists to ride in both directions, without reserved lane. | Bicycle dual directions are also present in the form of a strip, track or bus lanes, or within a pedestrian area. _NB: it is not possible to have all two-way cycling through this database, as some two-way cycling is allowed by a cycle path or bus lane juxtaposing the lane._ Pedestrian path | Pedestrian traffic lane. In this way, only the motorized vehicles necessary for the internal service of the area are allowed to circulate at the pace of the pace and pedestrians have priority over them. Unless otherwise stated, bicycles are allowed in both directions. Apart from a few large squares, it is only the circulable roadway that is taken into account. By default, pedestrian lanes are two-way accessible for cyclists. Road prohibited for motorized vehicles | Motorway not part of the road network, usually unpaved. Almost exclusively in the woods and gardens. | Only paths that are truly roadworthy are taken into account NB: data not taken into account in the calculation in the figure of the balance sheet of cycle routes

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

api.store is built and operated by Apitalks s.r.o. Company details and a direct contact path are linked in the footer for vendor checks and procurement review.
Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.
Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.
Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.
Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
