[Tagging] Difference between "yes" and "designated" in access tags

I would re-iterate Martin's assertion.

In Norway, we tag bicycle=designated/foot=designated when there is a 
traffic sign for cycleway/footway/combined. Implicit in this logic is 
that the consequence of the traffic sign is a different legal status 
compared to an unsigned road. A route sign is not a traffic sign and 
causes no change in legal status. We would not use =designated nor =yes 
merely because of a route sign. The route sign tells us to add a route 
relation to the way.
