I think the highway=trail proposal was right on the point. highway=path was meant as equivalent to footway, cycleway etc and is most often used that way. It's wording is unfortunate as the association with path for many people is an unmade way. So it got mistakenly used for that too, as there is no better or dedicated tag.
Using highway=trail for narrow, unmade trails would be intuitive and clarify the current ambiguity of path. Considering that a new tag highway=via_ferrata was introduced for trails that require climbing/equipment it is weird that there still is no dedicated tag to fill the gap between well built footways/paths and a via_ferrata. Reviving highway=trail to go in between would be logical. bye, Nop -- View this message in context: http://gis.19327.n5.nabble.com/highway-footway-Advanced-definition-Distinction-footway-vs-path-tp5851506p5851586.html Sent from the Tagging mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
