If iD really is prompting changing highway=cycleway->highway=footway without preserving cycle access, we can expect to see cycle routing becoming badly broken in a lot of places. Some of these edits were made 3 weeks ago and nothing like that appears to have been reported elsewhere. There also

I think highway should be reverted to cycleway. There's a misunderstanding that highway=cycleway implies priority to bicycle riders, when it actually relates just to the number of transport modes which can use it. Bridleway equates to three modes: walkers, bikes & horses. DaveF On 03/09/2020

I think access=permissive could have unfortunate consequences for motor vehicle routing, unless routers ignore highway=footway|cycleway anyway. Some of these paths should probably have motor_vehicle=private added (together with some gates and removable/rising bollards), as maintenance and event

Rather than reverting, I restored access and left the top-level highway=* tag alone. I only noticed these changes when plotting a route in Komoot and noticing that I needed to create/drag a lot of extra waypoints in order to get the expected behaviour. Hopefully Komoot will behave responsibly and

Hi there, Unless there's a "history" to this I recommend that you assume good intent. Seems Skyguy made an embarrassing mistake there. Please also don't assume "tagging for the renderer" or "vandalism", those two OSM curse words ;) the mapper explicitly stated their intention in the changeset

These changes should be reverted in my view. But I would note that the default map on osm.org does a poor job of communicating the difference between shared paths (like those in QEOP and elsewhere) and dedicated cycle lanes. Both look like blue dashed lines. They look indistinguishable. So

I suspect that the real clue is in the changeset tags: resolved:outdated_tags:incomplete_tags=10 So the iD validator has presumably claimed that the tagging of those paths was "out of date" in some way and this was likely a misguided attempt to fix that. Of course that was likely based on

A user has recently changed highway=cycleway objects in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London (QEOP) from highway=cycleway to highway=footway on the ground that "Olympic Park paths are Pedestrian Priority". In several places, the edited object no longer has a bicycle=* access tag and segregated=no
