In the UK the term 'bridleway' tends to be confined to either (a) public bridleways - where the term has a legally defined meaning, or (b) permissive bridleways, usually detectable from signage.
I would tag the former as highway=bridleway, horse=yes, bicycle=yes (default in English law), foot=yes, designation=public_bridleway plus any appropriate surface= or tracktype= . I would tag the second as highway=track, horse=permissive - with no designation= tag and again surface= and/or tracktype= as appropriate. Others may see it differently ...

AFAICT, the only obvious difference is path is access=no, foot=yes, bicycle=yes, horse=yes, whereas the bridleway is only access=no, foot=yes, horse=yes. The former is commonly a former railroad, and is not paved (though is usually graded and surfaced in peat), the latter tends to be in yuppie neighborhoods around major cities (like around the fringes of Los Angeles County where the rich go pretend to be cowboy riding in a manicured bridleway next to a boulevard...). _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
