[Tagging] access=designated - what do we think it means?

[SomeoneElse]

Currently, there are 41,000 things tagged "access=designated (1).  I can 
understand what "=designated" means for a specifc transport type (foot, 
bicycle, etc.) but not "access".  The wiki (2) also doesn't know.

What do we think that someone means when they tag something as 
access=designated?

Cheers,

Andy
