Regarding the original question -- in what

walking/hiking/biking route relations a good
mapping practice -- what would be your answer?
Always
Doesn't that

No. The route traverses the way, it's not the way.
Okay. But surely this doesn't mean that every named footway
or path should be part of a route relation.
The bike trail that brad linked to,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6632400 -- I've never
been there but I don't offhand see any reason to call it a
route. (Brad has been there, I assume, because it looks like
he updated it 2 days ago.) There's no information in the
relation tags that isn't also on the way itself. Is there any
benefit to creating a route relation in cases like this?
Better handling of future way splits, consistency.
I can see the advantage of using a route relation as a somewhat
future-proof persistent identity -- a relation URL that will show
the whole trail even if the way is split to add a bridge, specify
surface, etc. At the same time, though, it feels like a bit of a
stretch to declare any named trail of any length as a route,
Named way is not enough to be a route.
Named path across forest is just a path. Route would be a signed path
through a forest,
with two objects:
- path across forest (with or without name)
- signed route (that has some topology, signs, maybe also a name)
So you're saying any path with a sign should be a route. Should that
extend to all tracks, and roads of all varieties also? I assume you
are not limiting this to 'path across forest', it could be path across
desert, or prairie, or town park?
