This proposal adds two values to existing keys:
'''"highway=path"''' would be a much better way to combine footway, cycleway, bridleway in one highway-value.
* {{Tag|highway|path}}
<br>By adding a '''"designated"''' to the '''core-values''' of '''"Key:access"''' we can capture the real world even more accurate, without losing information.
* {{Tag|access|designated}}


{{Tag|highway|path}} is a generic path, either multi-use, or unspecified usage. The default access restriction of {{Tag|highway|path}} is "open to all non-motorized vehicles, but emergency vehicles are allowed".
* e.g. bicycle=designated, foot=yes for a cycleway which allows foot, or foot=designated, bicycle=yes for the opposite


{{Tag|highway|path}}+{{Tag|bicycle|designated}}+{{Tag|foot|yes}} is considered equivalent to {{Tag|highway|cycleway}}
* e.g. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Zeichen_240.svg or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Zeichen_241.svg signed ways are nether a foot- nor a cycleway; they are both by definition, but to can't take this correctly at the moment. If there would be only "highway=path" you can catch it totally right -> highway=path bicycle=designated foot=designated. A sideeffect is also, that the renderers can perfectly adjust themselves to their's needs.


{{Tag|highway|path}}+{{Tag|foot|designated}} is considered equivalent to {{Tag|highway|footway}}
===Tags===
A path (as for bicycles, horses, snowmobiles, cross-country skiing, etc.) could be tagged as:


{{Tag|highway|path}}+{{Tag|horse|designated}}+{{Tag|bicycle|yes}}+{{Tag|foot|yes}} is equivalent to {{Tag|highway|bridleway}}
<tag k="highway" v="path"/>

<tag k="bicycle" v="yes"/>
{{Tag|access|designated}} indicates that a route has been specially designated (typically by a government) for use by a particular mode (or modes) of transport. The specific meaning varies according to jurisdiction. It may imply extra usage rights for the given mode of transport, or may be just a suggested route.
<tag k="horse" v="yes"/>

<tag k="snowmobile" v="yes"/>
===Examples===
<tag k="xc_ski" v="yes"/>
A path for bicycles, horses, snowmobiles, and cross-country skiing could be tagged as:

* {{Tag|highway|path}}
* {{Tag|bicycle|designated}}
* {{Tag|horse|designated}}
* {{Tag|snowmobile|designated}}
* {{Tag|ski|designated}}

As an option, the following highway values may be deprecated (not depreciated!).

* I '''disapprove''' this proposal, it throws away valuable information about the physical appearance or main usage of a way. cycle/hiking/whatever-routes should be tagged without affecting the highway-value. Think of routes that use ways currently tagged as highway=track, highway=residential etc. Also, there is a difference in quality and expected surface between e.g. highway=cycleway and highway=bridleway. I think its much better to use relations to add different way to routes. (just because a mtb route uses a bridleway, does this make the way not a bridleway?) It also adds nothing that cant be done with the the current scheme. At least, please do not deprecate 20% of OSM data, destroying valuable information. Thank you.

Proposed-by
Cbm and Hawke
Proposed-date
2007-12-26

Rationale

Provide a value for a nonspecific or multi-use path.

Provide a method to indicate that a route is a designated route for a particular use, as opposed to merely being allowed to use it.

Applies to

Usage

This proposal adds two values to existing keys:

highway=path is a generic path, either multi-use, or unspecified usage. The default access restriction of highway=path is "open to all non-motorized vehicles, but emergency vehicles are allowed".

highway=path+bicycle=designated+foot=yes is considered equivalent to highway=cycleway

highway=path+foot=designated is considered equivalent to highway=footway

highway=path+horse=designated+bicycle=yes+foot=yes is equivalent to highway=bridleway

access=designated indicates that a route has been specially designated (typically by a government) for use by a particular mode (or modes) of transport. The specific meaning varies according to jurisdiction. It may imply extra usage rights for the given mode of transport, or may be just a suggested route.

Examples

A path for bicycles, horses, snowmobiles, and cross-country skiing could be tagged as:

Deprecates

As an option, the following highway values may be deprecated (not depreciated!). When this proposal comes to a vote, please also indicate whether you would approve deprecation of these values as well as adding the other new values. Deprecation means that they would be discouraged from future use. In no way does it imply that they would be forbidden, nor would they be removed from the existing database or renderers (until such time as they are no longer in use).

highway=cycleway

highway=bridleway

highway=footway

Rendering

This should probably be rendered similar to current highway=footway/cycleway/bridleway with color depending on the allowed usage.

Comments

Please use the talk page.

Voting

Please read the talk page before voting.

As of 18:01, 11 March 2008, it appears that the proposal was on its way to rejection.

It has now been heavily modified, taking the comments of the voters into account, and is back to RFC status.

Voting will open again after the RFC period.
