The tagging looks right,  but until the renderers pick up the oneway tag it doesn't seem hopeful. Changing the name is not right, and bicycle=permissive is not right either.   foot=discouraged would make sense, maybe the apps will pick that up?

I recently went on a hike, guided only by OSMAnd.  We ended up planning a route that took us uphill on what turned out to be a long series of one way downhill mountain bike flow tracks.

I have no problem with the flow track: just had it been clearly delineated we would have planned a different route more suited to hiking.
But I was left without clear tagging ideas.




One of the trails was
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/593945914#map=19/37.99250/-122.50667 <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/593945914#map=19/37.99250/-122.50667> highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway?uselang=en> path <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=path?uselang=en>
horse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:horse?uselang=en>  no
name <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name?uselang=en>    Bunny
oneway:bicycle <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:bicycle?uselang=en> yes <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:oneway:bicycle=yes?uselang=en> surface <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface?uselang=en> dirt <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface=dirt?uselang=en>

With a clear direction, as it has jumps that can only be completed in a single direction, and is all but impossible to cycle the "wrong way" on.




Is this trail tagged the best that can be?

Is there a way to better hint to rendering that this should look different from a "standard" hiking trail, perhaps tagged: highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway?uselang=en> path <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=path?uselang=en>
name    Hiking Trail
surface         dirt
bicycle <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:bicycle?uselang=en>
        permissive

        


I see that even /OpenCyclemap /does not draw directional arrows on the "Bunny" trail or other oneway:bicycle=yes routes.
