<div>As a Trail Rider, I feel it's important to
differentiate tracks & paths that are UCR's, over the
common or garden other unsurfaced rural ways that are
generally private. I'm sure you are all aware of the
contentious legality of these, but this question is about
tagging....</div>

<div>Using Richard's <a

target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Rjw62/PRoW_Tagging</a> as
a guide, I have been using the tag <b>designation=unclassifed_highway</b>.
Another user has stated in a changeset comment, that this is
just a personal page, and I should refer to <a
href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation#Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation#Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales</a></div>
<div>Easy to criticise, but the latter, is not specific in any
way, when it comes to UCR's. Damned if I do , damned if I
don't, maybe ?</div>

<p>I think I wrote some of the text in "Unmaintained Public
Highways" on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation#Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:designation#Rights_of_way_in_England_and_Wales</a>
and it was really no more than an attempt to document how people
were mapping them at the time that I wrote it. I have no
particular attachment to the way that that paragraph is currently
written, and don't particularly disagree with anything on
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Rjw62/PRoW_Tagging">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Rjw62/PRoW_Tagging</a> .<br>
</p>
<p>Since then, in mid-2018 I went through all the designations in
use in the UK that might fit in that bucket and came up with the
list at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L574">https://github.com/SomeoneElseOSM/SomeoneElse-style/blob/master/style.lua#L574</a>
. The results of that are visible at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=-24.98976&lon=135.11001">https://map.atownsend.org.uk/maps/map/map.html#zoom=16&lat=-24.98976&lon=135.11001</a>
. I'm not sure who else is using UCR information for
rendering/routing - probably a few, but I suspect not many.</p>
