If a way is used for both pedestrians and cyclists, should it be tagged highway=cycleway or highway=path with bicycle=designated? This is what the bridge path looks like - <a href="http://bikeportland.org/2005/11/21/hawthorne-bridge-gets-new-markings-673">http://bikeportland.org/2005/11/21/hawthorne-bridge-gets-new-markings-673</a>.<br>

<p>I can see from the history of the page that the wording was fought
over last summer. But the end result is not correct (and indeed
contradicts itself).
</p><p>I'd have said it was more accurate to say that cycleways indicate
corridors that are mainly or exclusively for cyclists and pedestrians.
</p><p>Where they are used for ways that are mainly or exclusively for
cyclists only, this should either be the norm for that country (as set
out in access-restrictions), or be indicated by the addition of a tag
foot=no. In either situation, an alternative way for pedestrians should
be shown if one exists (this may merely be the footway implied by an
adjacent road).<br>--<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:RichardMann" title="User:RichardMann">RichardMann</a> 14:01, 10 July 2009 (UTC) <br></p><p><br></p>I'm sure this was discussed ad nauseum at some point, so feel free to point me to the correct thread. <br>
