It may be documented but in the US it is not common/universal practice. > I object this due to the reasons: > - this is changing an existing tag definition, it's not downwardly > compatible (designated would then no longer mean "signposted") > - it will therefore lose the possibility to distinguish between ways > what are signposted and that what are not. I tag things as designated when there is a strong presumption in law or culture that a particular type has priority, even if there are no signs. In conservation land, often hiking is the primary use and bicycling is permitted when the trails are not wet and bicyclists are supposed to yield to hikers.
