Yes. “dedicated” means that it is *only* for whatever it’s dedicated to. “designated” means that it is somehow identified as being for whatever it’s designated for. > Legally. Although general practice (I believe) is that if a cycleway is >> really wide enough for vehicles, and is used by *some* vehicles (ie, >> maintenance ones) then it should be tagged "track" rather than cycleway. > > in here streets for maintenance are considered highway=service. Here, the vehicles which maintain the paths are allowed to drive on them. For example, trucks carrying asphalt or tar for pavement work, or trucks with a wood chipper for clearing brush. Also, emergency vehicles (ambulances, police, fire trucks) are allowed to use them if necessary for carrying out their duties. Obviously they need to be careful of the physical limitations of their vehicles, but it’s legally allowed under certain circumstances, in contradiction of “no motor vehicles” signs. That doesn’t make it a track though, IMO.
