<br><br>I'm pretty happy to add that any way signposted as either a "Byway" "Public Byway" or "Byway Open to All Traffic" should be tagged as designation=byway_open_to_all_traffic as long as it also has a red arrow. Unlike footpaths there is little chance of a landowner putting up a sign for a "byway" unless it is a public right of way. There can also be no confusion caused by long distance routes (as with footpaths).<br>
