"Permissive path" is a well-established term in the UK (at least in England and Wales; Scottish law may differ concerning types of access right, but I don't know the details).
According to the page "Basics of footpath law" on the UK Ramblers' Assocation website (http://www.ramblers.org.uk/info/britain/footpathlaw/footpathlaw.htm#path): | Other paths, known as permissive routes, are open to the public because the owner has given | permission for them to be used: often there is a notice on the path making clear the owner | has no intention of dedicating the path as a right of way, and reserving the right to withdraw | the permission. These paths are sometimes closed for one day a year, with a view to | preventing claims that they are rights of way. (The annual closure is often on Christmas Day, in the examples I've seen.) I don't know whether the term is used this way other than for footpaths (I've certainly not heard it used for swimming pools!) __John _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
