<div dir="ltr"><div>This is an excellent question James. My related question would be about when we call something a cycleway (e.g. <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4714922#map=15/55.9673/-3.2306">https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4714922#map=15/55.9673/-3.2306</a> ) rather than a footway (on which you can cycle). I've become somewhat disconnected from the Edinburgh OSM community over the last few years, but I'm sure someone else will have been talking about / puzzling over this. Is there any kind of set of halfway-agreed conventions on these things? Is it written down? Because it should be...<br></div><div>Robert<br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, 17 Mar 2024 at 10:04, James Jarvis <<a href="mailto:jjarvis970@gmail.com">jjarvis970@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello,<br>
<br>
On the off chance this issue has been solved and there is documentation that someone can point to…<br>
<br>
Disclaimer - I do know we should not map for the renderer!<br>
<br>
Background - Outdoor Access Scotland 2002 legislation provides equal rights of access to walkers, horse riders, cyclists and mountain bikers. Some paths are better suited to subsets of these. <br>
<br>
Issue - the access tags are a legal value indicating authorised access or not. I am not a mountain biker. As a pedestrian, MTB trails are not my first choice of route.<br>
<br>
Default OpenStreetMap render appears to only show as a MTB route if the pedestrian access is set to “no”?<br>
<br>
WayMarked Trails website will show MTB Routes irrespective of the access tags on the highway<br>
<br>
<br>
Relation: Bermageddon(17353136) - the underlying path has access foot=yes<br>
<br>
Way: Hush Hush(1147600166) - this has the access for foot=no (inherited, not set by me)<br>
<br>
Am I correct to believe the OpenStreetMap and legally “correct” thing to do would be to set access foot=yes ?<br>
<br>
And is it ok to leave bicycle=designated ??? I feel that is the prime use of the path.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thoughts, discussions, dissent, references sought!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
James<br>
