Usually, it's the rather clueless designation of some council worker who is trying to avoid a lawsuit in places like a bike path crossing a train track, or a wooden boardwalk. (Effectively, it means "caution".) I'd be inclined to map it, indicating "this is what the sign said". As a routing engine, I'd probably treat it as a hint that a bike will be going slower than normal, but still faster than walking. Steve
