Re: [Talk-us] trail tagging

A lot of good comments here.    My motivation for bringing this up is for clarity and consistency, and to make it easier for new mappers to get involved.   As stated in the wiki, a multiuse path could be tagged as path, cycleway, footway, or bridleway (and maybe other things too)   I can see
