Ø  access=designated is not what you want.

For clarification, I don’t use ‘access’=designated but ‘bicycle’=designated, 
‘foot’=designated etc. Just like the wiki page sais : “The exact key/value 
combination  <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access> access=designated 
should never appear on an object”

 

Ø  What is wrong with using the tag bicycle=yes ? Bicycles are 'permitted' .. 
but not necessarily marked by/on the roadway. 

IMO “bicycle=yes” or “foot=yes” are not enough, also permitted is not correct 
since these road parts are exclusively designated for a specific road use (as 
you put it.)

 

I will try to explain my issue with the example of two segregated cycle- and 
footway. One with a traffic sign [1] and other one without a traffic sign [2]

Both ways are designated for pedestrians and cyclists, each with their own part 
of the way.

But only the way with the traffic sign will be tagged with bicycle=designated, 
foot=designated using the definition in the description box

That is not logical, because both ways are still equally designated to 
pedestrians and cyclist in both situations.

I would put that as 

There are ways that are intended for a specific road use... 

For example sidewalks. They are designated for pedestrians and could tag – 
ignoring the tag it as a sub key discussion – as highway=footway (implying 
foot=designated).

Same for cycle ways, at least in Germany as you might know (Pictures 1 and 2). 

So requiring a way to be marked is too strong for that definition.

 

True. access=designated is not what you want.

I agree with Volker.  To me designated meant “what it is says on the roadside 
signage”.  Usually seen where there are unique or special circumstances 
restricting access.

Hallo,

during a discussion 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 way designated for a particular use” or “A way 
intended for a particular use.”. Probably the latter one.

The reason is, that the word “marked” implies that a way is ,well, marked with 
a traffic sign or by road paintings, which is not necessarily true. 

Also the topic ”general use case” is not that strictly formulated as the 
“description” box and allows the use of “designated” in a much wider range of 
cases.

Are there any objections against me change that word?

 


For me, Yes. 

Meaning I object. 


If it is not marked .. than how do you (or anyone) know that it is 
'designated'? 

Ummm 'marked' could mean it is 'marked' on some plan or other rather than 
'marked' by a traffic sign or by road painting ... but I'd think if it is not 
marked locally then the 'designation' will be ineffective. 
OSM is supposed to reflect what is 'on the ground' so marked is appropriate. 
Particularly by a traffic sign or by road painting.

Happy to be persuaded otherwise... 
Could you provide a link to the German discussion? That may help.
