Hi all Two rights of way questions for England & Wales:
1. What do we do when a public bridleway passes down an otherwise private track, as here <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/729405361>? Both the track the the right of way are 'on the ground'. Do I mark a track, with all it's passability tags, and then tag horses & foot=designated? That acknowledges the track, but disregards the documentation here <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dbridleway#England_and_Wales:_Public_bridleways> which says "Public bridleways should be tagged: highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>=bridleway and designation <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation>=public_bridleway" . Or do I follow the documentation and disregard the visible track? Same question for public footpaths. 2. What should I do with this footpath <https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/729709956>, which appears on OSM and also on the OS map <http://streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=511004&y=298838&z=115&sv=511004,298838&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=577&ax=511004&ay=298838&lm=0> as a public footpath. There is absolutely no indication of it on the ground: no beaten path, no fingerboard, no break in the hedge at the SW end (it wouldn't need one at the NE end, open country). Do I delete as probably sourced from OS, or leave as it's a right of way? (For some reason the history shows me as the author of Version #1 of that path, but actually it long predated my edits in this area. iirc the history, before my edits elsewhere apparently over-wrote it, showed it as added several years ago) Thanks, Edward (eteb3)
