It was certainly there when I started editing in 2007. surely this was there, but the German sign for a bridleway excludes pedestrians and bicycles and is rarely found in the real life, while ways without any signs aren't that rare, but no-one in Germany would think of calling those "bridleways"
Thanks Martin, I just learned that such a sign exists, defining the bridleway in the German traffic code (StVO): http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/72/Zeichen_238.svg/240px-Zeichen_238.svg.png Thus what is tagged in my area as bridleway is typically a forestry track on which a small sign, more like the UK one in the OSM wiki, by which the forest operator keeps the horses on particular tracks. I conclude that highway=track with horse=yes/no would be more appropriate. I am tempted to add that conclusion to the wiki... tom _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
