Nick<br>This seems more complex than needed. It is certainly not easy for the casual user to understand.<br><br>Would it be possible to use something simpler or have it degrade to something simpler that the casual user can get right fairly easily.
<br><br>Doesn't the highway=bridleway imply by default foot=yes, horse=yes, bicycle=yes? It seems redundant to have to state horse=yes.<br><br>Would this be simpler and workable?<br><br>highway=footway<br>highway=bridleway
<br>highway=byway<br>highway=rupp<br>highway=cycleway<br>highway=track<br><br>public=yes (optional, assume permissive unless specifically tagged as public)<br><br>Some examples:<br>Permissive footpath: highway=footway<br>
Public footpath: highway=footway, public=yes<br>Public bridleway: highway=bridleway, public=yes<br>

<br>>on<br>>the matter) I changed the access key for official public access from<br>>"public"<br>>to "yes" (in view of the fact that the overwhelming majority of existing<br>>data<br>>appears to be using "yes", not "public", and changing it all would be a
<br>>major<br>>task). Does this sound reasonable or would anyone prefer it changed back?<br>><br>>Nick<br>><br>>_______________________________________________<br>>talk mailing list<br>><a href="mailto:talk@openstreetmap.org">
