Subject: Re: [OSM-newbies] Marking Public_Footpaths on Farm Access Tracks
Hi
It is possible to have a public_footpath rendered on tpo of a farm access
track? I haven't found an example yet. Presumably the rendering is base
on
the highway tag (footway/service) and therefore this might not be
possible.
I have an example where a public_footpath (highway/footway) goes across a
field, along part of a farm access track (highway/service) and then enters
another field (highway/footway). It would seem preferable to tag the
access
track as a highway/service but ideally I'd like to mark the
public_footpath
on top. I've tried looking on JOSM but haven't found an example. It may
be
I'm not looking in the right place or it isn't possible. Thanks in
advance
for any advice.

Basically you have two questions:
1) how do I tag this ?- in the UK you could use the tags "highway = service"
together with "designation = public_footpath"
2) How does this get rendered ? This very much depends on who is doing the
rendering,
For instance there is a way tagged as I indicated in (1) , compare the two
renderings here:
