That’s why we render surface quality tags (surface/tracktype/smoothness) in CyclOSM on every road. So the reader can know the real state without bad assumptions*, and choose if he prefer whoosh or plod depending of his ride style. https://www.cyclosm.org/#map=15/49.1637/2.6323/cyclosm *Though we

Hi, « Implied tag is the root of all evil » as a wise man once said. I begin to think that implied tag is bad, let the data consumer do that. As long as the data is not set I consider the data imprecise. For instance in France I will assume by default that every road is paved, but it doesn’t

I agree that 'surface' tag should be mandatory but in Hungary 54 percent of the mixed foot-cycle-ways misses this tag. Additionally, the 20 percent of foot-cycle-ways has no 'segregated' tag. Not ideal conditions for converting mixed cycleways to path :) So in Hungary we will contiune to use the

Your first point is correct and it applies here in Italy as well. The default surface argument is weak. We do have unpaved official cycle and foot-cycle paths. The surface tag is mandatory in my view. The same applies to sidewalks and minor roads. And the "path" approach for foot-cycle-way is
