Yes, highway=path or =track normally allow foot access by default. You can still add the foot=yes tag to show that you have actively verified the fact that indeed access is granted on that way. For example when other ways around have foot=no or the Bing layer looks like it's not accessible etc...

If you add bicycle=yes, they render differently in opencyclemap (not saying that's a good thing, just an observation). It seems to be used to imply that it's reasonably passable by bike, and nobody seems to object. Richard On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 2:35 PM, Maarten Deen md...@xs4all.nl wrote:
