<div dir="ltr"><div>DaveF, if "named paths" are not route relations, then what exactly are the minimum requirements for route relations? At any rate it appears that many mappers do not share this view and happily add route relations for every named path. Take this popular hiking area for example: <a href="https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=13!44.3046!-71.2961">https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=13!44.3046!-71.2961</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 16, 2021 at 10:24 AM Dave F <<a href="mailto:davefoxfac63@btinternet.com">davefoxfac63@btinternet.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">

"named paths" are not route relations. <br>
<br>
The physical path can have a name & have numerous route
relations run over it.<br>
A route relation isn't required to indicate that a certain transport
mode is designated. <br>
<br>
The correct tagging:<br>
highway= footway/cycleway/bridleway etc<br>
surface=*<br>
foot= yes/no/designated<br>
bicycle= yes/no/designated<br>
horse= yes/no/designated<br>
etc<br>
<br>
Then add any officially authorized route relations to this way.<br>

<div>I'm glad to learn about this. There are many
multi-purpose recreational routes in my area that will make
sense to tag this way. The idea of creating five separate
route relations for a single named path just because it is
designated for five transport modes (walking, cycling,
inline skating, horse riding, and skiing in the winter),
feels wrong and in violation of the "one feature, one OSM
element" principle. How many other data consumers are there
that use route relations but don't handle semi-colon
delimited values, though? Clearly a map that only shows
route=bicycle is going to miss out on route=foot;bicycle,
route=bicycle;horse;ski, etc. How can we get more data
consumers to parse semi-colon delimited values in the route
and network tags?<br>
