It's an exceptionally rare feature in the US so it's not something I've regularly tagged yet. Only ones I can recall *ever* seeing in my life are mostly in Los Angeles County (of all places), with another (which is definitely closed to bikes) in Riverside County parallel to the Pacific Electric Cycleway. > > > > > highway=footway > > foot=designated > > bicycle=no > > horse=no > > motor_vehicle=no > > > > highway=cycleway > > foot=no > > bicycle=designated > > horse=no > > motor_vehicle=no > Again in the UK you can walk on a cycleway, but not in Germany. Because this is such a confusing situation, I try to always explicitly tag modes on motorway, path and cycleway, and unusual features like bicycle=yes on footways and sidewalks.
