They are not, but that doesn't change the verifyable appearance of the
route.

They are not, but that doesn't change the verifyable appearance of the
route.

No, it doesn't. And when they do, Barcelona is at the same time a tourist
destination where business commuters meet.

Yes, but it is the decision of the designers how they equip the routes with
signage according to purpose. If others find them useful, fine. That
doesn't change the verifyable appearance of the route.

People can design routes for commuters, recognizable by specific signage or
appearance. If they do, users will like to see these highlighted on a map
and preferred for routing according to, say, a commuter profile. Which
anyone can use, but that doesn't change the planned and implemented
designation as verified by appearance or signage.
