Ah well I don't see much difference between =yes and =designated, but to others there's a clear difference. 😊 Given the other responses it seems that =designated is the preference for shared paths.
As for *"Visually it’s much easier to see a shared path rather than to review the tags for permissions. "* This is 'tagging for the renderer' which is discouraged. As mappers our aim is to accurately map what's on the ground using legitimate sources of data, and following agreed OSM conventions as much as possible. Getting the right coloured dashed or dotted line on the map is someone else's problem. People produce special purpose maps with this in mind eg. *OSM default*: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-38.07459/145.12193 *CycleOSM*: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-38.07459/145.12193&layers=Y *(Bicycle routes emphasised)* *Cycle Map*: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-38.07459/145.12193&layers=C *(Bicycle routes emphasised)* *Transport Map*: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-38.07459/145.12193&layers=T *(Public transport emphasised)* Cheers, Adam On Tue, 5 Oct 2021 at 14:26, Sebastian Azagra Flores <s.aza...@me.com> wrote: > Hi Adam > > Interesting to see your thoughts below in relation to Victoria. > > My point all along has been bikes are not permitted on footy paths used > signed as allowed or should it be a shared path instead? > > In which case is there a preference in using footpath with the tags > highway=footway + bicycles=yes as you have indicated below > or a should be be shared path where bikes=designated ? > > Visually it’s much easier to see a shared path rather than to review the > tags for permissions. > > regards, > > Sebastian > > On 5 Oct 2021, at 10:28 am, Adam Horan <aho...@gmail.com> wrote: > >  > Hi Kim, > highway = pedestrian is for pedestrianised roads/areas rather then > footpaths/sidewalks/pavements for those I think the current tag is > highway=footway. > bridleway isn't in use in Australia much for the path types we're > discussing here. > > I'd prefer a normal footpath to be > highway=footway - and no additional bicycle= or foot= tag, unless there's > a sign specifically barring cycling in which case bicycle=no > > Shared paths (the most common ones after a walking only path) > either > highway=footway + bicycle=yes (I prefer this one) > or > highway=cycleway and a foot=yes tag to make it clear (I don't prefer this > one, but it's a mild preference) > > This is mostly with a VIC perspective. > > Adam > > On Mon, 4 Oct 2021 at 23:48, Kim Oldfield via Talk-au < > talk-au@openstreetmap.org> wrote: > >> Hi Andrew and list, >> >> How do we go about formalising these decisions?
