Yeah so in this case per the descriptions at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Lifecycle_prefix I'd say it should be one of the "actively removed" tags, could either be demolished:highway=path, removed:highway=path or razed:highway=path. > And a week later the sign has been destroyed, branches dragged away > where you can't go round and berms and jumps reinstated enough to make > them trafficable? Remove the lifecycle tag? > If a vandal spray painted their name on a street sign, we shouldn't rename it in OSM (unless it really has become commonly known as that by the community). I'd be happy to still leave it as actively removed for some time, but if it goes on for an extended period that the track is rebuilt and still no new signage goes up at some point I don't think we can still call it "actively removed". Independently of the lifecycle prefix, if there are park wide rules which would forbid bicycles we can and still should map as either bicycle=no or access=no. Ideally there would be signage either at the start of the track or somewhere else around the park boundary to indicate this.
