I hold the view that access=yes just means either physical or legal access
is allowed (or at least not forbidden), whereas access=designated implies
that it's signposted or otherwise explicitly designed/used for/by that mode.

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.
