In places like Germany, however, dedicated infrastructure is more

allowed to do. As I understand it (and this was before my time, so this
is largely hearsay) "cycleway" and "footway" got used by the local
community for the dedicated infrastructure there, leaving a problem of
what to tag what we in the UK would now call "shared-use" or "multi-use"
paths
Ah yes, I've also heard the "it was the Germans" theory [1]. Other
theories I've heard: the we're all equal theory [2], the people that
could not cope with pedestrians on cycleway theory [3], the horse guy
theory [4], and the snowmobile guy theory [5].
Given the fact that the proposal:

was made by a snowmobile guy and a user from German then, maybe, a
combined German/snowmobile guy theory might be the best.
