<body><div>Hi,</div><div>some mappers think, they have to set these access tags. Potlatch and iD have a select menue, which shout "hey, please select foot & bicycle are allowed". But I think this is not good! It is better to tag signs: bicycle=yes only if there is a "bicycle free" sign. Same with other signs. So if we see the tags, we know which sign is there, and backwards. </div><div>
It helps if there is something like this [1] included in the editors, which create the right tags by means of sign!
</div><div><br></div><div> A major error is something like this: access=forestry (for sign motor_vehicle=forestry) </div><div><br></div><div>For the possibility to use the way by foot or bicycle, better tag walking=yes or cycling=yes or something like that.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] http://osmtools.de/traffic_signs</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Masi</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Am 10.07.2013, 15:41 Uhr, schrieb Ronnie Soak <chaoschaos0909@googlemail.com>:<br></div><br><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0.80ex; border-left: #0000FF 2px solid; padding-left: 1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Yes, highway=path or =track normally allow foot access by default.<br></div>You can still add the foot=yes tag to show that you have actively verified the fact that indeed access is granted on that way.<br>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Is there a deeper meaning of adding foot=yes or bicycle=yes to highway=track or highway=path without adding other limitations? I thought track and path are by default routable for foot and bicycle, so IMHO they add nothing.<br>
