Thanks Martin, Maybe I wasn't very clear in my first email (not helped by poor formatting), but I'm not looking to add a "suggested route". I am trying to indicate cases that have legal binding (or very strong advice from government). For example:
1. A road in Germany should not be used by cyclists if there is a cycle track next to the road UNLESS the cycle track is not passable, etc. 2. A cycle track in UK that is marked as cycle only does not legally prevent pedestrian use but official guidance states: "the route is not intended for pedestrians, there should be a convenient footway or footpath nearby." I see that something like "alternative" may end up being used for suggested routes, but is there any other (potential new) values for the access tag that may help here?

The new >value*>* would indicate that the way can be used (as it is not illegal / >prohibited),*>* but it is advised to use a different route.* This is a feature often talked about (suggested routes), which might be suitable for OSM or not (I guess most of the mappers actually consider this not suitable because advices are a matter of subjective judgement and interpretation). It is definitely nothing to store in an access-value, as access if for legal accessibility _only_. If you wanted to tag non-suitability you should use another namespace/tag (additionally). Cheers, Martin
