[talk-au] Sidewalks as "Path" when bicycles allowed? was: OpenStreetMap Wiki page Australian Tagging Guidelines has been changed by Aaronsta

[Dian Ågesson]

Hello,

I noticed in these changes that the Australian tagging guidelines have 
included this note about footpaths (sidewalks) in jurisdictions where 
cycling is allowed.

"

  On all shared use paths which can be used by both pedestrians and 
cyclists.
*Cycling is permitted on footpaths in ACT, NT, QLD, SA, Tas., and WA, 
and highway [1]=path [2] should be used in general circumstances. Refer 
to highway [1]=path [2] for further guidance on which supporting tags to 
use.

Is this accepted practice? To be this doesn't seem like a good idea:  it 
seems like the same problem as explicitly tagging sidewalks as 
bicycle=no; if there is any change in legislation the tags won't make 
sense?
