<p>Hello Dudley,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if it's standard but I use either "designation=orpa" if there's explicit evidence of it being one, or "suspected=orpa" if there isn't (e.g. a 'green lane' which is unsignposted but has evidence of regular foot/horse use).</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi<br /><br /> I came across a paved single lane "road" on a recent walk that was sign posted in both directions as a "Public Road" It makes a loop between two "unclassified" roads.<br /> Functionally, is seems to be a service route for an isolated farm that sits at the top of the loop, although it would make quite an useful link road between the two "unclassified" roads . I crossed it at the top of the loop so I don't know what there was with regards to signs at each end. On the OS 1:25 it is marked as "Other Routes With Public Access". Is there anything I can infer from the use of the term "Public Road". i.e foot, horse, bicycle, vehicle = yes/no? How are people tagging the "designation" of such routes, i.e. are people using "designation=other routes with public access"?<br /><br /> Many Thanks<br /><br /> Dudley</div>
