I'm in favour. I think separating legal status from the highway tag is a good thing in general.<br><br>Currently with bridleways tagged as highway=bridleway you have no idea what kind of actual way you are dealing with. Where I live (Devon) there are a lot of bridleways, some on wide tracks and some on singletrack paths. I also know of one bridleway near me that runs up the driveway of a country house.<br>
<br>It would be nice to be able to differentiate that with:<br><br> highway=footway designation=bridleway<br> highway=track designation=bridleway<br> highway=service designation=bridleway<br><br>Rather than the current situation where either the type of way or the legal status is lost.<br>

</div></div>I'm opposed; this seems like a duplication of effort for what route<br>
relations are currently for, and creates redundancy and overlap in scope<br>
with the service= and highway= tags. As such, this really sounds like a<br>
step in the wrong direction. Perhaps expanding the service= tags and<br>
getting the mapnik and osmarender we use on the slippymap to render<br>
these things instead of route tags on the underlying ways when the<br>
underlying way is a member of a route=road relation.<br>
<br>
The cyclemap is getting this right; but strangely, none of the other<br>
renderers. And it's not like it would be that hard to get that fixed;<br>
someone's already rendering road relations complete with correct highway<br>
badges already.<br>
