no, in Germany it also happens from time to time that we discover signposted 
bicycle routes where cycling is legally forbidden, often presumably because the 
signs are not “correct” (not what is intended), and the legal conclusion from 
such a situation is you have to push the bike on such sections. Route markers 
do not change legal accessibility as defined by traffic signs.___

There was a similar conversation in the Hungarian community as well. I 
would like to ask what you think about such (and similar) official 
bicycle route signs:

do they imply a bicycle=designated value for the road if it is not a 
cycleway (because it is unnecessary for that), or is it enough to just 
put the lcn/rcn etc. value on the road.

Thanks, Szem

IMHO, these markers have no legal meaning for accessibility (e.g. in
Germany and Italy), but I am not familiar with Hungarian law. Generally, a
route is mapped as a route (relation and/or lcn/rcn/ncn tags), while access
(bicycle=designated) is mapped according to traffic signs (these route
markers in jurisdictions I am aware of, are not "traffic signs" in this
sense). Legally, there is nothing wrong with a bicycle route where cycling
is not allowed (e.g. on short stretches), it just means you have to push.

Re: [Tagging] Difference between "yes" and "designated" in access tags

2024-04-30 Thread Jens Glad Balchen via Tagging

I would re-iterate Martin's assertion.

In Norway, we tag bicycle=designated/foot=designated when there is a 
traffic sign for cycleway/footway/combined. Implicit in this logic is 
that the consequence of the traffic sign is a different legal status 
compared to an unsigned road. A route sign is not a traffic sign and 
causes no change in legal status. We would not use =designated nor =yes 
merely because of a route sign. The route sign tells us to add a route 
relation to the way.

I agree.

We had the discussion in Denmark, where some bicycle routes includes steps, typically 
on short stretches leading to tunnels or bridges crossing railway tracks. They are 
then tagged as highway=steps,bicycle=dismount. The flat part is tagged with e.g., 
bicycle=dismount,highway=path


Some have a footpath sign, but even for those that do not, it is obvious that even if 
you have a mountain-bike that could go over the steps, you really should not drive 
down steps where you could meet a trainload of passengers.

Need to point out for others reading this than I am in England, and
influenced by what I believe was likely the original intent of these tags,
that is mapping of the "English/Welsh, rights of way"

I've always treated " foot|bicycle|horse=yes, as a means of showing I
confidently believe with evidence available that access is allowed. Done
with regard to the defaults for tag (eg don't add when highway=footway)

Designated & Permissive allow me to tag in more detail if evidence is
available to support tags
I use ''designated" for where there is a demonstrable "right of access" eg
Specific recognisable signage, online usable data, etc, which demonstrates
a legislative or contractual, rights of way.
I use "permissive" for the common British situation of ways being provided
on private land, and where the owner has displayed signage to inform the
public that the way is "Permissive" and not an English/Welsh "Public Right
of Way". (This should block the private way becoming a "right of way"
through continuous use.)

Issues I have are separating "legal right of access" and the ability to
actually use the way. A common problem with British/Welsh rights of way
which do not have to be managed to to allow all foot users

yes, agree to all of this, this is why I mentioned the length. A continent
is also not a region arbitrarily delimited by someone, especially if it is
completely surrounded by water, like antarctica.

The main criterion that we decided was "relative importance in the road
network". Function somehow has to do with it.
