Hi,
some mappers think, they have to set these access tags. Potlatch and iD have a select menue, which shout "hey, please select foot & bicycle are allowed". But I think this is not good! It is better to tag signs: bicycle=yes only if there is a "bicycle free" sign. Same with other signs. So if we see the tags, we know which sign is there, and backwards.
It helps if there is something like this [1] included in the editors, which create the right tags by means of sign!
A major error is something like this: access=forestry (for sign motor_vehicle=forestry)
For the possibility to use the way by foot or bicycle, better tag walking=yes or cycling=yes or something like that.

Is there a deeper meaning of adding foot=yes or bicycle=yes to highway=track or highway=path without adding other limitations? I thought track and path are by default routable for foot and bicycle, so IMHO they add nothing.
