3 relations with the roles 'alternate' that form alternative paths
.. one of them is a closed section that was the original path but
is in conflict with a shooting range. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Long walking routes often have a main route

are not waymarked, they are not recorded in OSM. Easy.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But often, they are. On maps these are usually shown
as a striped line, while the main route is usually a
continuous line.

<div>I would like to enable OSMrenderers and data

<div>One solution just for rendering would be to
optionally add "striped" to the colour tag. Or
dotted. </div>

<div>A more general solution would be something like
alternative=yes, additional=yes, approach=yes. A tag

<div>the other way around: main_route=no?</div>
