These short-distance signposted routes can be tagged as lcn (local cycle network) relations.
I'd prefer there to be a distinction between these (which I think of as leisure/tourist routes and would call "tcn") and utility routes into a town centre, but there isn't a distinction at the moment (and altering relations at a later date is easy).
