I crossed it at the top of the loop so I don't know what there was with regards to signs at each end. On the OS 1:25 it is marked as "Other Routes With Public Access". Is there anything I can infer from the use of the term "Public Road". i.e foot, horse, bicycle, vehicle = yes/no? How are people tagging the "designation" of such routes, i.e. are people using "designation=other routes with public access"?
