In my answer on Tobias unfortunately I followed his mistake, half way.
He had not only commixed a statement with an order, he had also read "to need"
as "to use".
Now I tell it more precisely:
"is not needed on non-motorized thoroughfares" means "on non-motorized
thoroughfares it can be described without that tag",
but it does not mean "on non-motorized thoroughfares it must be described
without that tag".
Yours', Ulrich
