That is an interesting case. I'm not the mapper with local experience, so I'll defer to you. From my distance it seem that: Treating the trail / route as distinct from the road where it shares the road seems incorrect to me. We strive to represent a single object in reality with a single object in OSM. It appears that mappers have drawn two separate ways for the off-road portion of this trail as well. Are there two trails, or one trail, shared by cyclists and pedestrians? If there is only one 'highway' for both pedestrians and cycles, they should be merged as well. Tagging for the users can be done in several ways and is a matter of mapper preference. Each of these are correct: - highway=footway, bicycle=yes - highway=cycleway, foot=designated - highway=path, foot=yes, bicycle=yes - other variations The access restrictions, if true, are probably best left on a relation where they apply. It seems strange to me that cyclists would not need a permit for a path while hikers would require the permit. If those restrictions only apply to a portion of the hiking trail (on private property, perhaps) then perhaps the access restrictions should be moved to those ways, and leave the generic tags on the relation.
