It needs to remain. As it's clearly signed as a shared use path it's has
authoritative standing.
'Dangerous' is purely subjective. Many people do 'dangerous' things such
as drive too fast, take drugs or jump out of aeroplanes. OSM is not the
place to quantify. Adding a 'falling rocks' sign to OSM is fine. Telling
someone they can't go there because of those rocks is wrong. Your user
has decided, based on experience, that he doesn't want to use it, which
is fine, but he shouldn't dictate that others can't.
What would benefit OSM is if the path was detailed more accurately.
Are you Traveline?

Greetings
At Stirling Corner, on the A1 in Barnet, there is a cycle way (hence
also available for pedestrians) that goes around the outside of the
roundabout (http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/78315291). A cursory
glance at satellite mapping shows it to be well defined, and marked.
But it will also highlight that where you cross the southbound A1 to
the south of the roundabout (and likewise the northbound A1 to the
north) it is highly dangerous. You have to cross three lanes of
traffic, and there is always a flow of some sort, either from the A1
or from the side roads.
What is the right course of action here - leave it in, because it
reflects what is on the ground, or take it out on safety grounds. This
isn’t an idle question - a user of my website has stated that it is
dangerous to use, and has asked me to remove it. My conclusion was to
leave it in, but as it cuts to what it is that is being produced here
- an accurate cartographic representation of the world, regardless, or
something a little different - I thought I would ask for views.
Regards,
Stuart
