Martin Koppenhoefer: IMHO, these markers have no legal meaning for accessibility (e.g. in Germany and Italy), but I am not familiar with Hungarian law. Generally, a route is mapped as a route (relation and/or lcn/rcn/ncn tags), while access (bicycle=designated) is mapped according to

I would re-iterate Martin's assertion. In Norway, we tag bicycle=designated/foot=designated when there is a traffic sign for cycleway/footway/combined. Implicit in this logic is that the consequence of the traffic sign is a different legal status compared to an unsigned road. A route sign is

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

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
