I'm more talking about purpose built mountain bike tracks, which can have man made jumps, bridges and other man made features which make it obvious it's a mountain bike track and not just a path that you can ride a mountain bike through. > For a leisure sport park for mountain biking I think leisure=track + > sport=mtb could be used I guess > https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dtrack > Example : https://youtu.be/cD8XaOatg5I?t=307 > I didn't think of leisure=track, I guess that could apply to tracks within a mountain bike park, a bit like a BMX track, especially if it loops around, but it feels like a stretch to apply to longer more wilderness mountain bike tracks. At the moment it does seem like the most appropriate choice for a dedicated mountain bike track if highway=cycleway is not allowed though, it doesn't reflect current tagging though. > The problem here is that I don’t see what a way made only for mtb which is > not a leisure=track could looks like. > For me if it’s in the wilderness it can be used by anyone, like hikers so > it should be a highway=path. > Do you have examples (photos, videos) ? > https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/454574501 + sign at the start https://flickr.com/photos/136319147@N08/48392024356
