Access is also used (misused?) for things other than highways ...
A hotel may be for 'designated' persons only .. eg employees, students only for an apartment building.
An entry may be 'private' for residence only.

Those kind of restrictions have been tagged with the access tag.

I wonder what

highway=primary; access=designated means. I think JOSM even complains about this.

Don't you need a type of road that already restricts the access to 1 type of vehicles for that, such as highway=bicycle ? (although in many countries that one implies foot=yes, so it isn't well defined in here neither.)

Can't we just get rid of access=designated and only allow designated with a specific "vehicle" type, such as bicycle=designated or foot=designated ?

    Hallo,

    during adiscussion within the german forum [1],I have been pointed
    to the description box of the“access=designated”wikipage [2].

    It reads“A way marked for a particular use.”.

    I would like to change it to“A waydesignatedfor a particular
    use”or“A wayintendedfor a particular use.”. Probably the latter one.

    The reason is, that theword“marked”implies that a way is,well,
    marked with a traffic sign or by road paintings, which is
    notnecessarily true.

    Also the topic”generaluse case”is notthatstrictlyformulated as
    the“description”boxand allows the use
    of“designated”inamuchwiderrange of cases.

    Are there any objections against me change that word?

    Yours

    Hubert
