A good example of this might be where NCN route 1 runs parallel to the Lee Navigation towpath (with moored boats) alongside Hackney Marshes. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/7831970 Most of the cycle traffic seems to be local, so most won't be using routing software. I usually run along the NCN cycle track there because it's less congested. I tried a test route from The Greenway to Markfield Recreation ground with different routing services: CycleStreets - towpath cycle.travel - cycle track Komoot (bike touring) - cycle track Strava (most direct) - towpath Obviously this is a tiny and unrepresentative sample. >> I’m just struggling to think what the tag would add - either for >> information or for a routing algorithm.
