I stopped using foot-, cycle- or bridleway and only use path with some access tags and surface. Width is another important tag. I do not find any differences except for access between *way and path and especially unpaved <> paved is not clear at all. At least in Germany there is a difference between footway + bicyle=yes (foot=designated), cycleway + foot=yes (bicycle designated) and path + foot=designated + bicycle=designated. So far I am not talking about foot/bicycle=official. cu fly _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
