Hi all,

I always find the hardest part of the mapping the choice of the tags.

For example, near the Dender between Dendermonde and Aalst 
<http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/?zoom=16&lat=50.99664&lon=4.07958&layers=B00000FFF>.
This is a way about 2m wide with asfalt (A car can drive there but isn't 
allowed).

Which is the preferred tagging of such road?

I always use:
highway = cycleway

But some time ago Emai changed this to:
highway = path
bicycle = yes
vehicle = no
surface = paved


I don't want to start an edit war, therefore I throw this question in 
the group.

Greetings Johan
