That doesn't seem very helpful for cycling users of the map or its routers. If there is a blue round sign with a bicycle on it, I'd call that designated, or a blue rectangular one. Or the pavement is in a pinkish colour (here in Belgium). If I find a sandy track in the forest, where it's obvious horses are galloping there on a regular basis, I know to stay away from them. One because it's very tiresome to advance on them, but more importantly it's dangerous for cyclist, horseback rider AND horse when a collision happens at galloping speeds.
