<div dir="ltr">To sidestep your question, oneway=yes on a highway=footway, cycleway or path already implies it's not accessible to vehicles so a oneway tag on any of those highway tags should apply to all modes of transport. So highway=footway + oneway=yes shouldn't need any other tags like oneway:foot.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, 16 Apr 2020 at 13:04, Joseph Eisenberg <<a href="mailto:joseph.eisenberg@gmail.com">joseph.eisenberg@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Some paths and footways have oneway=yes. Sometimes this means that<br>
bicycles may only access these features in one direction, but other<br>
times it has been used for one-way features for pedestrians (for<br>
example, queues in theme parks or at border control stations).<br>
<br>
Other more specific tags have been promoted, since the wiki states<br>
that oneway=yes is for vehicles.<br>

<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:foot" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:foot</a> is used about 1400 times<br>

<br>
The wiki for Key:oneway was just edited to recommend using<br>
foot:backward instead of oneway:foot<br>
<br>
But as an English speaker, I find it difficult to immediately<br>
understand the meaning of foot:backward=no (which uses a double<br>
negative, as it were), while oneway:foot=yes seems clear right away.<br>
<br>
Is there really a reason to prefer the less common tag? Does it make<br>
more sense in other languages?<br>
