do we really need a duplication in designation? Or is there some details that I don't get?
As I understand it, while there is some overlap (especially in Germany) it’s not exactly a duplicate of the access=designated tag.
Designation=* is used to describe the official classification of certain routes (which might be roads or paths).
While access=designated is used to say “this route is officially designated for [xxx] type of traffic”.
For better or worse, in Germany it looks like they’re one and the same thing: a route’s official classification is basically “officially designated for [xxx] traffic”. There’s nothing like the UK’s “Restricted Byway” classification.
