I agree, and I think this is the point. We don't use "highway=unclassified" for a road that cannot be used by a passenger car and is only passable with an extreme-high-clearance 4WD vehicle. As for path, I see highway=cycleway and highway=path bicycle=designated as equivalent. And same for footway/foot=designated. However, around me there is a convention that any dirt/unimproved/in-the-woods sort of thing is path, and in-town/paved/manicured sorts of are highway=footway. Basically if you can walk on it in dress shoes, not get dirty, and not get ticks, it is footway, and if you ought to have hiking shoes, it is path. I realize this is controversial, but it's another data point. I am mildly curious how many places there are in mountain bike trails that prohibit hikers. Around me, every trail that is open at all is open to hiking, and some are open to bicycles and horses, some aren't. (Additionally some are closed to bicyles and horses when wet.) _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
