The wiki says: "highway cycleway For designated cycleways" and "highway footway For designated footpaths" (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Map_Features#Highway), which is exactly what I was saying. The example photos there support this. For highway=path it says "non-specific or shared-use path", and the photo shows a forest path or trail which is smaller than a track, not very well kept, natural surface. > Changing the definition of highway=footway etc. has never even been > proposed - it's unnecessary wordplay to claim retrospectively that > the word "designated" in highway=footway definition was originally > used for the same as the value "designated" for access tags. The word "designated" says that there is a sign, doesn't it? _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
