I don't know how this has changed over time, but the current version of JOSM has "Dedicated cycleway" => highway=cycleway "Segregated foot- and cycleway"[*] => highway=path,foot=designated,bicycle=designated,segregated=yes "Combined foot- and cycleway" => highway=path,foot=designated,bicycle=designated That corresponds to the German signage http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/Zeichen_237.svg/120px-Zeichen_237.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/Zeichen_241.svg/120px-Zeichen_241.svg.png http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/03/Zeichen_240.svg/120px-Zeichen_240.svg.png I don't know how one is supposed to tag a way that is suitable for cycles and pedestrians but does *not* have the above signs; I tend to use highway=cycleway for those as well, which then upsets the horse riders because if there are no signs then, in Germany, that implies horse=yes whereas something with one of the blue signs above automatically means horse=no. I'm just offering that as an explanation, I don't really want to discuss it in breadth but you're welcome to fire up your Babelfish for a night of fun on talk-de ;) Speaking of talk-de - you English don't do that language compression thing with the hyphen I highlighted above, do you? Where a phrase like "motorway and byway" gets shortened to "motor- and byway"?
