Nederland, Germany and Belgium also have walking routes, horse routes, inline-skating routes, canoe routes, motorboat routes. Also a myriad of node networks for all the modalities, some completely developed and covering the country (cycling node networks), some almost nation-wide but locally or regionally maintained (walking node networks), some in the early stages but spreading rapidly, also to other countries (Austria, France, Spain). The lXn, rXn, nXn, iXn system, combined with network:type=node_network, operator, and ref, , covers all recreational routes, in many countries with very different systems of administration and maintenance.
If there is a conflict between the use of those routes and the highway road routes coding system, that would be a problem requiring a solution. Perceived inconsistency between clearly different uses of the route relation iis not. I think this recreational route network coding has earned its place. Still, if an actual problem arises, I would be happy to help solve it. I know some people think the network=XXn system is principally flawed and should never have been approved, but I have yet to see one actual problem and it appears to do the job around the world, for recreational routes of all scopes and modalities, even though countries have very different administration and maintenance systems from completely central to distributed and chaotic, and different for most modalities.
