<div>Brave man!</div><div> </div><div>Globally, highway=path is mostly used without any access tags, judging by taginfo: <a href="http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=path#combinations">http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=path#combinations</a></div>
<div> </div><div>So I think "Classic" and "Alternative" are adequate titles. "Established" and "Alternative" would probably be more accurate.</div><div> </div><div>Richard<br><br></div>

Hi all,<br><br>It has been mentioned in the past (and I expect many others have thought it), that the current UK Tagging Guidelines wiki page [1] is to confusing for newcomers and data consumers alike. I have had a go at addressing this by creating a new version of this page [2]. As discussed on the Talk section of this new page [3], I have tried to work in many of your (the UK mappers) suggestions. <br>
<br>I have used the wiki cleanup objectives as a guide and have incorporated the following key changes:<br><br>(i) Copyright - The first section replaces the current "Obtaining the data" section and promotes the existing "Copyright" section to a more prominent position. Info most relevant to helping new UK mappers is highlighted<br>
<br>(ii) Classic UK vs Alternative Global - The wiki guidelines (above) state that we should "Provide a place for people to discuss new tagging proposals". I have therefore kept both schemes. So as to not excessively confuse newcomers I have split the page so that it reads as (a) tag the fact that the way is there, (b) tag its legal status if applicable.<br>
<br>(iii) Public Rights of Way - As discussed on the talk-gb mailing list a public right of way may run along a track, road, etc.. I have therefore removed as much as the UK Classic vs Global Alternative debate out of this section into (a) - "tag features presence". Following Achadwick suggestion on Talk:United Kingdom Tagging Guidelines that the right of way should be signified using the designation key (see table below). I have heavily refocused the page to emphasise this. This greatly simplifies things for newcomers & data consumers. In a way it also reduces the UK Classic vs Global Alternative debate.<br>
<br>(iv) Scotland - Now has a separate section ready to be filled in. <br><br><br>Please take your time to have a look, and feedback comments to this mailing list. Be friendly; I am still relatively new and this is my first real go at editing a wiki :-)<br>
