[talk-au] Australian Tagging Guidelines Footpath Cycling

[Ian Steer]

Tony,

 

I'm wondering about the usefulness of adding foot=yes to highway=path and
highway=track.

 

I have never done this because I thought it would be assumed that
pedestrians (and cyclists) can use paths and tracks ?

 

In WA, where people have (in my opinion) wrongly classified a path as a
footpath (and hence excluded bicycles), I have often changed it to a path,
but never tagged foot=yes and/or bicycle=yes.

 

Ian
