This view is backed up by what https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access says about designated So in ACT the footpath would be bicycle=yes since bicycles are allowed on the footpath, but it's not a designated path for bicycles. A cyclepath would be bicycle=designated since it's signposted/designed for that mode of transport. Same goes for wheelchair=yes/designated (okay for wheelchairs vs. signposted for wheelchairs), or lanes:bus=yes/designated, one says the bus can use the lane, the other says it's an explicit/signposted bus lane.
