Hi,

 

For shared paths, agree with Andrew that the tags should be bicycle=designated + foot=designated + segregated=no. There’s a legacy tag issue in Victoria where many shared paths are still tagged as highway=cycleway only, which is slowly being fixed.

The question is when is a foothpath with bicycles=yes considered a shared path?

Should a shared paths be used over footpath=yes ?

 

From my NSW perspective, shared paths are always tagged as bicycle=designated + foot=designated + segregated=no. Most are highway=cycleway but this is more just by convention, and a bit of bias from cyclists, highway=footway or highway=path are equally okay in my opinion.

 

Never heard of footpath=yes before, it's undocumented and has practically no use https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:footpath. What do you use footpath=yes to mean?
