I am not happy with the assumption that a path on the map without indication that it is open to the public is better than not having it on the map at all. This is only true if the former is labelled as such (access=unknown). Otherwise its useless information. Think about it: You wouldn't think for

"an armchair mapper should add access=unknown to the tagging" I certainly don't do this when mapping from aerial imagery, and neither of the editors that I've used (ID and JOSM) have suggest adding "access=unknown" to a newly mapped path. My understanding is that highway=path is rather

In the context of cycling-related tagging there is an issue which I would like to bring up. This regards the tag combination highway=path and bicycle=yes. Access tags generally are about legal access (with a few exceptions which do not apply here) "highway=path" implies "bicycle=yes" (in most
