[OSM-talk] highway=cycle&footway

[Richard Mann]

Tagging is there to allow people who haven't been there to figure out what
is there.

highway=path just exports the problem to other tags
highway=(whatever the legal designation is) just exports the problem to
other tags

this just makes everything more complicated for everybody

I say:
highway should encode the basic physical status of the path/road
a new tag, designation should encode legal status, if people want to record
this
access should encode topup rules to make routing software work
