This is incorrect. A cycleway tag can be used on a shared path, one <br>
which can have a designation for other<br>
transport modes, such as a Public Right of Way for walkers.<br></blockquote><div>I would not say it's is incorrect. It is biased and inviting users to use one of several competing mapping schemes for maping mixed-use foot-cycleways.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, the most important thing from a routing point of view is to provide all necessary information like legal access, surface, smoothness, width, lit. <br></div><div>And when it comes to detail there are nuances in meaning.

These mixed paths are not obligatory for cyclists when there is a parallel road.<br></div><div><br></div><div>OSM tagging does not reflect these finer differences.<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div>
