<div>I just noticed someone posting on <a

moz-do-not-send="true">twitter</a> that Komoot was routing
cyclists along trails where cycling is forbidden in Richmond
Park (fine apparently £60). Apparently Komoot treats all
highway=track & highway=path as bicycle=yes by default.
Clearly this is inaccurate in most of the UK.</div>

The inaccuracy's are within Kammot's software & validation
employees.<br>

<div>The issue has been known for some time, but increased usage

I'm unable to locate the page atm, but I thought OSM data is
available 'as is' with no accuracy or legal authority implied. <br>

<div>It is getting quite common for landowners to either
complain or remove private paths & tracks from OSM. This
can be due to inaccurate mapping (a recent case was on the
Thoresby Estate), but most often is because people are using
routers which do not account for how things are mapped here.<br>

<div>I wonder if we can do anything to get Komoot to correct
this behaviour?<br>

If they're not using the data responsibly & unwilling to
rectify, can't a restriction be placed on them similar to
contributor bans?<br>
