This is USA-specific in the example I now offer, though notable nonetheless in this context: there are routes, such as United States Bicycle Routes, which after they are Approved (by AASHTO), are, in a legal sense, "designated." However, some states have an aggressive signage program (MUTCD

It has no sense to inflating classifications of every island in the word for being the most important road in respective island. If a neighbor garage is more quieter than the mine is not a justification to elevate road classification of one of them to compensate this difference. The highway=*

And "should" or "must" (use this infrastructure with this mode-of-travel) more-or-less = "designated." Finally, "can" more-or-less = "yes." That's a lot of quotes, but I think you get the drift. > On Apr 29, 2024, at 4:02 PM, stevea wrote: > > In my mind "designated" means "for this

That doesn't seem very helpful for cycling users of the map or its routers. If there is a blue round sign with a bicycle on it, I'd call that designated, or a blue rectangular one. Or the pavement is in a pinkish colour (here in Belgium). If I find a sandy track in the forest, where it's obvious

1) true, but wouldn't that by default be all steps unless otherwise noted? I guess in this case it's assumed that the steps inherit their implicit access from bridleway, so that might be different from the general case...? 2) a noble cause, but again I would think that excluding bicycle=no from

Hi, It is my understanding, from the Wiki at  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle, that "bicycles=yes" means that bicycles are permitted, but says nothing about the ease of riding one there.  It is "bicycles=yes" and not "bicycles=designated" because, for a bridleway

Hi,   They are, indeed, quite "long".  I do not own a horse, nor have I seen one use this section of bridleway, however, I guess that, with each step having only a modest "rise" and a long "run", horses should have little difficulty walking up or down them, just as we do.  key:flat_step *might*

Generally speaking, how do we reconcile these two? bicycle=yes highway=steps What is a data consumer supposed to infer from this as opposed to just highway=steps? As long as foot=designated, aren't cyclists always allowed to get off the bike and push/carry it? And wouldn't they have to when
